Skipping School, A Song About Faking Sick

Skipping school, it’s something every kid has tried to do. And also, we would fake sick just to get out of being there for that day. Maybe it’s a test…

Skipping school, it's something every kid has tried to do. And also, we would fake sick just to get out of being there for that day. Maybe it's a test that day, or just not feeling showing up! So we take a song that plays on the radio and I change the lyrics in only ten minutes!

Here's the original, Preston Cooper's song "Weak," that we are remixing today.

Skipping School, We've Done It!

You can sing along with the lyrics!

I feel tired

Like a third shift nurse after five nights

And my eyes, ears, nose

Are all oozing that’s right

I have chills even though it ain’t cold

My bones like a ninety year olds

And my momma be

No honey you are fine

Temperature’s ninety-nine

Right now, I'm down on my knees

Mommy I’m sick!!! 

Hold me I’m a baby,

Just need you to save me

I have a test at ten fifteen

I AM SICK!

How Did Ten Minute Tune Start?

One could argue that I have been singing these types of songs my entire life. I used to love listening to the radio in the car, changing the lyrics to my favorites songs in my head to make them sound funny. Little did I know I would make a career out of this little hobby.

I grew up a theater kid, performing at stage since I was 10 years old. So singing and performing has always been something that I've loved to do. I took piano lessons since the age of six years old and was heavily involved in choir as well. When I got to college, I was a founding member of the a cappella group, Otto Tunes, on the campus of Syracuse University!

It took us a semester to become an official student organization on campus. Here was our FIRST performance after becoming official. It’s Gavin DeGraw’s “Not Over You.”
