N.B.: In response to questions, it’s true, they made up the song up live! Unfortunately the video tape ran out, hence the intermission. You can hear the original drums and keys Matt played live at the beginning when George the Jock first sings; all other production was done in post.  Post, baby!

Lyrics: “We’re Under Attack!”

(George the Jock)
They’re making fun of us, can’t believe it
They’re making fun of us, I can’t believe it
I never thought this day would come
When we’d be on the run
Making fun of us—band kids and one jock

Chorus
This is whack!
We’re under attack!
(x2)

(Shelly, Olivia’s Friend)
Hey, Jean-Claude, you think you’re the cat’s meow
But I’m gonna school you and we’ll show you how
We’re making fun of your stupid horn techniques
We’re making fun of your stupid horn sneakers

Chorus

(Jean-Claude the Bully)
In my old school I was the biggest dork you’ve ever seen
Emotional problems, no girlfriends, and lack of self-esteem
My parents saw I had some problems, they took me out
Tried to teach me karate and make me play baseball

Then I had one crazy uncle who knew what was up
He said, “Jean-Claude, come over here, I’m changing your luck”
He put a French Horn in my hand and some money in my pocket
I switched up schools and I was bigger than the jocks

Chorus

(Olivia from Boston)
I’m tired of all this hierarchy
You can take your snarky looks and take all the malarchy
I’m ***** of the band
My name’s Olivia and I’m taking a stand

Hey you think you’re hot, oh you think you’re pretty cool
Well, guess what, I’ve got news for you
You play the horn and your horn is French
Well, I play the horn, too, and I play it better than sex

Chorus

Refill: Partial Lyrics

China is the biggest nation in the world
It’s got 100 billion people and all of them are girls (I wish!)
China, I’m coming! China, I’m coming!

In 12th grade I made a list
Of who I wanted to guest star on the album
That took five years, five years to write

What up? Slobodan Milosevic here on the track
Gonna make it hot, gonna bring the fire
Gonna bring Shaq, what up, Shaq Fu baby…

Who knew a story about network hacking would lead to such hysteria?

To satisfy demand, we have purchased the rights to an illicit paparazzi video that shows the episode being created/written/composed/etc. live, on the fly. Below is a clip. That’s hot coffee.

P.S. The perpetrator used a high-def camera; view the source video at Vimeo to see it in full-screen HD piping-hot glory.
