We have made some progress changing the lyrics our “Hey Mother” parody. We have continued researching Oedipus, following the story closely and applying it to the new lyrics. RhymeZone has been extremely helpful in the process, because we are continuously working towards finishing the song, and rhyming words has been the most difficult segment. We hope to be coming out with the song soon, so stay tuned for this fiyah to drop.

For our first song, we will be remaking Avicci’s “Hey Brother” into “Hey Mother,” telling the unfortunate story of Oedipus Rex.
Before we could write any lyrics, we had to start by reading Oedipus Rex and developing an understanding for the text. To do this, we used an entertaining video by PeterdMCasto to get a quick summary put in modern day language.
Literature has never been our strong suits, but we hope by putting this entertaining twist on it that we find it more enjoyable and easier to deal with. So far, that has been the case, as we are ready to move on next week to writing the lyrics.
