So much more than time

eponis will appreciate this. Maybe navelofwine will as well (I'm not sure what books you used for Greek...)

My Biblical Greek textbook, A Primer of Biblical Greek by N. Clayton Croy, has a CD in the back of the newer editions of the book. Mine did not come with said CD. It's mostly just answer keys and stuff.

However, I found out in class yesterday that on the CD Croy has some lyrics parodying some popular songs, written about Greek. Thus Billy Joel's "For the Longest Time" becomes "so much more than time" (talking about tenses in Greek). Other songs parodied were "8 days a week," "Gangster's Paradise" and "Margaritaville." There were about 6-8 of them, but I forget the rest. And I'm not finding them on the internets...

So one of our classmates sang the "For The Longest Time" parody, and part of the "Gangster's Paradise" as well. At first I thought she had written them, and was kinda scared. But no, it was just Croy. He must be insane!

Also, apparently he did a skit at SBL a couple of years back, parodying something on SNL, but I forget the details of that.

And of course, I have the song stuck in my head.
