Steven Spielberg Presents: History!, Monday, Period 4
With this being the first class, the students probably had some kind of expectation that their teacher would be on time. But no, the only thing at the front of the classroom was the teacher's desk and, next to it, a water cooler with a small WB logo on the plastic water jug.
Then the jug started to shake while music filled the room. After a few seconds, the jug was thrown from the water cooler as a black and white puppy-looking thing stood up with his feet still in the water cooler's reservoir.
Any of this might have made more (or even any) sense if class were in the Danger Shop. It wasn't. As it was, the students would just have to convince themselves they weren't crazy as the teacher started to sing.
(And give him a break for starting with a variant on his own theme song. He was just getting warmed up!)
"It's time for our history workshop
Where the learning never stops
For the next seven weeks
We'll discuss the Romans and the Greeks
It's your history workshop!"
"Come join this Warner Brother, Yakko is my name
I used to go to school here, Cartoons are where I got my fame
But I left behind my sibs, To go on to great acclaim
As a teacher who, Is here for you, And makes you all exclaim:"
"'It's time for our history workshop!'
Where the learning never stops
You'll never want to drop
Unless I make your mind go pop!"
"This is historany
Totally insaney
This verse is kind of lamey
Our historyyyyyyyyyy workshop
(Have fun with linkdrops)"
With the song over, Yakko stepped out of the water cooler and onto his desk, tracking wet footprints all over any papers that may have been on it. "So, who wants to go next? It's okay, I can change the music if you want something that suits you better." He bent over to grab a karaoke machine - with a lyrics screen - from under the desk, as well as a big binder with all the songs he had on record. Most of them were in the public domain, naturally, but being used for parody opened the door for a much larger catalog.
"And don't worry, we'll get to regular history next week." Although any promises of 'regular' coming from Yakko were probably - and justifiably - suspect at this point "For now, I just want to know about your personal histories. Via song, of course." He was serious. SING IT. Even if it was only a couple lines.
