Purdue Engineers w/ Mitch Daniels “This Is Engineering (Thrift Shop Cover)” Video

Well, since I’m a Purdue Alumnus, an engineer during the evenings, a hip hop taste maker, and an emcee and producer as I am, I figured I’d share this parody that dropped yesterday. Purdue Engineering students decided to cover Macklemore and Ryan Lewis‘ previous Thift Shop hit, and added a whole ton of engineering rhetoric into the theme. There’s even a few cameos of former Governor, and current President of Purdue, Mitch Daniels. Sometimes humorously bad at times as far as the rapping is concerned, but hey, what do you expect?!

A Purdue Engineering parody of ‘Thrift Shop’ by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis.

Lyrics:
I’m gonna type some code
Only got 20 hours this semester
Cal-cal-culatin’, see me innovatin’
This is engineering

Walk into the room like, “What up, I got a big test!”
Nah, I’m just the baddest engineer in the Midwest
TI89, now don’t be a hater
My teachers like, “Damn! That’s a calculator!”
Stayin up, who needs sleep, I got plenty of caffeine,
Workin on math, maybe later some programming
Maybe I’ll just go get, an IU degree
Nah, I’m a boilermaker, shouldn’t make it easy
(Stress)

But hey, I’ll be loaded someday!
(Ladies!) Coulomb’s Law, Dalton’s Law, having nightmares in the lecture hall
Passin’ up on that integral even Newton can’t solve at all
We’ll play some Halo later man
I am readin’ and writin’ and
Makin’ some ramen cause I’m hella hungry and it’s one a.m.
I’ma get an internship, I’ma get an internship
No for real — where’s my roommate — can I print my resume?
Classy suit coat with some new trousers
Leaving college job fair with some good offers
They had a used textbook, I bought a used textbook
I opened it to study, then I got on facebook!
I know, I know, my Mach speed, my turbo
Bernoulli ain’t got nothing on this wing shape air flow
I could pass a hard class, A +, thermo
The Upperclassmen be like “Yeah, we’ll see how that goes”

I’m gonna type some code
Only got 20 hours this semester
Cal-cal-culatin’, see me innovatin’
This is engineering

I’m gonna type some code
Only got 20 hours this semester
Cal-cal-culatin’, see me innovatin’
This is engineering

What you know about nuclear power and clean air
What you knowin’ about writin’ that new software
We’re SpaceX, we’re NASA, we’re blasting right off the surface
One man’s sky, that’s another man’s office
Engineering, we’re designing your next smart phone right now
‘Cause baby it’s us who know how (to)
I’m on my laptop, you can find me using (UNIX)
On that, on that server searchin’ for connections (UNIX)
Your problem, your pattern, the system you’re solving
You’re gettin all the pretty ladies, every time, ’cause you’re that engineer
You rockin Sperry’s, no you’re not; you’re an engineer
You hit the party and they stop for that engineer
They be like, “Oh, that’s CATIA – that’s hella tight.”
I’m like, “Yo – that’s “80,000 for some software”
Corporate edition, let’s do some vector addition
80,000 for some software – that’s just an expensive mouse (click)
I call that making sketches and prints (click)
I call that making models for a business
That CAD’s hella dough
But having the same one as major companies in the world is a hella pro
Biomed, come take a look through my microscope
Want to be creative in your life? Then get up and go!
Then get up and go!

I’m gonna type some code
Only got 20 hours this semester
Cal-cal-culatin’, see me innovatin’
This is engineering

Check out the pyramids,
That wall the Chinese did,
Or go down to stonehenge
Engineering for the win

Drive down the Golden Gate
Swim through the Hoover Dam
Apollo Eleven
Engineering for the win

I’m gonna type some code
Only got 20 hours this semester
Cal-cal-culatin’, see me innovatin’
This is engineering

Did you use Wolfram Alpha?

I'm just trying to make my art and do what's smart. Cake donuts are clutch.
