[Lyric] Some Study That I Used to Know Gotye Parody (CollegeHumor)

Now and then I think of what I learned in high school
Like AP Bio an-d British Literature
Is that igneous or metamorphic?

I don't need to write in Iambic
And I'll admit I don't know %#@! about Millard Fillmore
Why did I have to learn this stuff?

It has never come in handy
Never used it for nothing
Why did we read The Scarlett Letter?

Puritans are boring
Even when one is a !@#%
There's actually one thing I still know:

Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin
Definitely do not need that though
Now it's just a study that I used to know

Now it's just a study that I used to know
[Teacher]
Now and then I think of all the things I taught you
Every handout with a Farside Cartoon appropo
You don't want to live that way
Forgetting every word I say

You said you'd never let it go
I guess mnemonic devices just weren't enough for you though

You really freaking piss me off
I worked so hard to teach you something
Now you don't know nothing

What does the conch symbolize?
Or anything beyond the first three
Digits of Pi

And what about SohCahToa?
Or A-sexual reproduction of the Protozoa?
I guess you didn't need that though

Now it's just a study that you used to know
(A Study)
I used to know

(A Study)
Now it's just a study that you used to know
I used to know
I used to know
(A Study)
