Jeremy Dutcher 10-minute song challenge: a Eurodance song about homework

Performer, composer, activist and musicologist Jeremy Dutcher’s music playfully blends classical influences and the traditional songs of his home, Tobique First Nation.
In this episode of Ten-Minute Topline we’ll see host Eve Parker Finley put Dutcher’s thoughtful songwriting skills to our ridiculous challenge and compose a Eurodance pop song about homework in 10 minutes.
Ten-Minute Topline is a CBC Music series produced by the Creator Network about the art, joy and challenge of composing a melody, presented in the form of a hilarious and insightful gamified music interview.
Lyrics: “Homework” by Jeremy Dutcher
You got homework kids
You got homework kids
You got homework… kids
I know you wanna go out
This weekend
But there’s only thing
You got to know
You got homework kids
You got homework kids
Maths
Science
Chemistry
Biology
Morphology
Scientology
You got homework kids
Ooo!

Thank you for this🎉 was having a rough morning and this Gem lifted me.

I watched this last summer and loved it. Unconnected, I recently learned how to use BandLab, and made a little ditty of me saying "Close Your Chromebooks"--a phrase I say to my students all.the.time. As a music teacher, I try to include Jeremy as often as possible! Trying to decide if I will show this to them

In the US we say math and sports, but in the UK they tend to say maths and sport. Trust me, "maths" sounds really dumb don't do it. This is North America.

Gym doesn't have homework! 😂 Every week we move - except coach always says to me : "You've got to improve." 🥲
