A song for debaters....

History --- Hubby and I make a game of re-writing songs to fit particular situations, people or organizations... as we listened to Shania Twain's "That Don't Impress Me Much", we thought that it applied...

Disclaimer -- for the debaters, especially those mentioned by name, it is all done in fun and if your feelings are hurt and/or you'd like me to delete your name for any reason, I'd be happy to do so. We intentionally picked people we knew could take a joke, that had excellent debate careers, good name recognition within the debate community and a good sense of humor. Above all, remeber that Hubby and I probably did vote for you once in a while, so you actually did impress us (or they screwed up :) )..

The song:

Sung to the tune of "That Don't Impress Me Much" --

I've known debaters who thought they were pretty smart
But you've got being right down to an art
You think you're a genius-you drive me up the wall
You're a regular original, a know-it-all
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're special
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're something else

Okay, so you’ve read Foucault
That don't impress me much
So you got the words but have you got the thoughts?
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't get my ballot at the end of the night
That don't impress me much

I never knew a guy who carried a mirror in his pocket
And a comb up his sleeve-just in case
And all that extra hold gel in your hair oughtta lock it
'Cause Heaven forbid it should fall outta place

Oh-oo-oh, you think you're special
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're something else

Okay, so you're Jed Link
That don't impress me much
So you got the looks but have you got the touch?
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't get my ballot at the end of the night
That don't impress me much

You're one of those guys who likes to do line-by-line
You have to shell T before you let a question in
I can't believe you kiss your flow good night
C'mon baby tell me-you must be jokin', right!

Oh-oo-oh, you think you're something special
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're something else

Okay, so you spin your pen
That don't impress me much
So you got the link but have you got the crush?
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't get my ballot at the end of the night

That don't impress me much
You think you're good but have you got the touch?
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't get my ballot in the long, boring, final round
That don't impress me much

Okay, so what do you think you're Perosky or something?
Oo-Oh-Oh
That don't impress me much!

Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-No
Alright! Alright!

You're Owens!
Alan Tauber maybe.
Matt Contreras.
Whatever!
That don't impress me much!
