about

This was the beginning of it all... back in 2009. I created this song using a CHEAP loop-based computer program I used with my music students. It was so ridiculously popular with my students that I took the backing track home to my studio, laid down vocals, and boom goes the dynamite - the CRCT rap was born.

Criterion-Referenced Competency Test, for you non-locals :) It's our big end-of-the-year test that our school system uses to assess progress. It's a HUGE stressful event for many of our students and I thought an upbeat, happy song would help motivate them and take the edge off. Hope you enjoy it!

CRCT Rap

*REFRAIN*
C-R-C-T! Let’s get it – you and me!
C-R-C-T! Come on let’s ace this thing!


“C” is for a cool head, not going too fast
“R” means read the questions – the first to the last
The other “C” means “copy” – don’t do that on this test
And “T” is for the way we t-t-t-try to do our best (here we go!)

*Refrain*

In the morning – get up early and eat some healthy food
Like bananas – that’s a good one; feeds your brain at school
Get lots of sleep – that’s important so you’ll stay awake
AWWWWWWWW SNAP, we got a test to take!

*Refrain*

*Refrain*
