Did this as a visual aide for my final project for English I. We have to basically take one of our essays from over the span of the quarter, and do a speech on it, and obviously, with a visual aide.
The paper I'll be talking about is my How-To for creating a non-stereotypical cast of characters, for which my mantra was Fooly's sig quote "Originality is dying in this world. Are you trying to save it?" The aide focuses on the main hero stereotype, in that they're more often than not male, use swords, are physically fit/attractive/both, etc. I countered this by making a female hero, who has "A" size breasts, a less than fit physique, and weilds an axe rather than a sword.

Aww, but I like Lloyd. He's not like the other heroes! He's a MORON!

Ah, I love the fact that I came up with an awesome band of ultra-stereotypical characters, and I've stuck with them too long to wanna change them

Chorus)
To stand out
Above the crowd
Even if I gotta shout out loud
'Til mine is the only face you see
Gonna stand out 'til you notice me
If the squeaky wheels always gettin the greese
I'm totally devoted to disturbin the peace
And I'll do it all again, when I get it done
Until I become your number one
No method to the madness and means of escape
Gonna break every rule I'll bend them all out of shape
It ain't a question of 'how' just a matter of when
You get the message that I'm tryin to send
I'm under a spell, I'm in over my head
And you kno I'm going all of the way, till the end
To stand out
Above the crowd
Even if I gotta shout out loud
'Til mine is the only face you see
Gonna stand out 'til you notice me, yeah
