O, this is the story all about how,
My life got flipped turned upside down,
And if you take a moment just sit right there,
I’ll tell you all about this film by René Clair
On Technicolor musicals, born and raised
Watching sound era serials – marathoned ‘em for days
Chilling out, segmenting, relaxing all cool
And all shooting some b-roll outside of the school
When a couple of guys, they were up to no good
Started screening French films in my neighborhood
I cracked one Goddard joke and my mom got scared
Said, “you’re taking early silent cinema – start with the Lumieres.”
