Teacher gets tough on student who credits "Behind Blue Eyes" to Limp Bizkit

[That 70s Guy]

The price of sarcasm is high in one teacher’s classroom. The prof. (and obvious Ultimate Classic Rocker) was ticked that her student left an answer blank, but even more upset that he went on to quote the Who’s ‘Behind Blue Eyes,’ attributing the song to Fred Dust of Limp Bizkit.

While the early ’00s rock group did have success with the Who song in 2003, it was indeed Pete Townshend who wrote it for release in 1971. Macromeme.com captured the screen shot from below in which the teacher explains her system of properly penalizing the student. He/she even takes a jab at Limp Bizkit, which earns eight points on our grading scale.

Sadly, the Who may be getting used to being overlooked. Their performance at the 2012 Olympics closing ceremony was cut for NBC’s broadcast. Videos later surfaced on the internet.

Makes me both laugh and a little sad at the same time.

But good for her, ignorance is rampant these days trying to instill a little character is a good thing.

I didn't know The Who closed the Olympics,,,I didn't watch any of the games myself but I am not surprised NBC did that, networks are run by ignoramuses these days, just look at their reality programs and you can see they are devoid of almost all intelligent thought.

Good on her!

I hear NBC cut Muse's performance too and they did the official song for the Olympics. Bet they showed tripe like The Spice Girls though

lol At 8 points for reminding her of Limp Bizkit existence.

Must of been something very important or pure ignorance

Maybe but you can't really expect a school kid, who's probably only a casual music fan to begin with, to know a Who song from 1971. I don't think character has anything to do with it, other than maybe writing a smartass answer to begin with.

i agree with Oscar^^^. Can't expect a school kid to acklowledge music from 40+ years ago. That wouyldve been like me in my school days (70's and 80's) knowing music from the late 30's and the 40's.

I'm kinda leaning the other way. If you're gonna do something like that, you'd best have your facts straight.


I don't know which is the real head shaker here.

A kid writing song lyrics on their test, or a teacher small & immature enough to call the kid out in publc like that.
