Classic Rock Bands as Class Projects/Presentations*
The Beatles: The upperclassmen who make the perfect project until John brings his girlfriend Yoko to work on it with them. They hold it together until after they present but then they all don’t talk to each other for a few months.
The Who: Their presentation is loud and crazy. Pete even jumps on a desk. Roger talks with his hands so aggressively that he hits Keith in the face. Keith falls over the podium halfway through. None of them, with the exception of John, can stand still.
The Rolling Stones: Gave an awesome presentation that blended a ton of topics. Afterwards, they started calling themselves “The Class’s Greatest Presenting Group”.
Pink Floyd: The group who got super high, made a bomb presentation about the evils of capitalism, and realized it was so much better than what they thought after they sobered up.
Janis Joplin: The shy girl who gives a fun, upbeat presentation accompanied by fun little dance moves. Everyone is surprised by how powerful her voice is.
Jimi Hendrix: Awesome presentation. Sets his visual aids on fire at the end and gets in trouble for it but still gets a good grade.
Sex Pistols: The “troublemakers” who made a project and a loud, angry presentation that called out every dumb thing the school had been doing. It makes you want to write down their complaints and take them to the principal.
Queen: The four best friends who have nothing in common but somehow make an awesome project that everyone loves but it’s super confusing and exceeds the time limit by at least 20 minutes.
Led Zeppelin: The four crazy best friends who are all doing the craziest shit with their materials and have no idea what the topic is but somehow, it makes sense in the end.
Mötley Crüe: The group that accidentally sets something on fire and gets in trouble for it but still get a good grade. Nikki gets sick halfway through and has to leave but he comes back to finish the presentation.
The Runaways: The group of girls that somehow manage to incorporate feminism into every project.
Ramones: Short presentation but everyone loves it.
Kiss: The project is less of a project and more of a multimedia presentation. There’s lighting effects. A full soundtrack. Someone is wearing face paint. It’s awesome.
Guns n’ Roses: Their presentation is great until one of the students in the audience gets up to walk to the front of the class. Axl throws a fit and storms out. Panic ensues.
Aerosmith: It’s a great presentation, but the most memorable part is when people brought it up later and Steven asked who’s presentation is was. Turns out he was so tired that he forgot that it was his group’s presentation.
Black Sabbath: They kicked out a member of the group (Ozzy) right before they presented, but everyone still loved it.
David Bowie: Presents in a full face of makeup and haute couture dress. He talks about aliens. The topic that he was supposed to be talking about had nothing to do with aliens.
Ozzy Osbourne: After he got kicked out, he made a whole new presentation with fake animals for props. It was all going well until he pulled out a bat prop halfway through and realized it was actually a real bat. More panic ensues.
Fleetwood Mac: Stevie hijacked the presentation and made it all about witches. The topic that they were supposed to be talking about had nothing to do with witches.
Nirvana: The underclassmen who barely paid attention to what they were supposed to be doing but made a presentation that was so good, it made everyone in the years below them change how they did their projects.
*this list came to me in a dream in the middle of the night. I have no idea what I’m doing. Please note that I’m trying my best. Anyway, enjoy!
