This is an old tune I used to play with the Moms. I wrote the music and Matt McLean (Moms bass player and international hockey star) came up with the name.

In 2007 I took a geography class taught by the sports-loving, fun-hating professor Dr. Lisa DeChano. One day when she noticed that a lot of the people in the class weren’t very perky, she told everybody to stand up and do jumping jacks. I didn’t do it (almost everyone else did for some reason) and she said the whole lecture hall full of people had to sit there and wait and she wouldn’t continue until I did my stupid jumping jacks. I decided to just leave instead. Take that!
Another thing that happened a lot was that the teacher would ask the class a question and no one would answer. “Come on,” she would say, “I know you don’t have rocks in your head! I know it!” which is really insensitive to all the people in the world who actually do have rocks in their head.
For extra credit in this class we could write a geo-poem, a geo-diddy, a geo-funny or some other geo-thing. I chose geo-diddy and here it is! For some dumb reason Dr. DeChano didn’t play my song for the class, which may be because I subtly mocked her in the song. She still gave me the extra credit, though, so that’s cool.

I also wrote a geo-joke.
Q: What did one volcano say to the other?
A: Would you please pass the basalt?
I told that joke in front of the class of about 100 people and got no laughs.
