Hurby Azor & Ray Davies (for Salt 'N' Pepa), Push it, 1987

Don’t know which way the cards will fall
Rolling up, in black
Or wiping it back?
 
Can’t figure out which way to go
Relief prints or intaglio?
 
Gamblin? Graphic Chemicals?
Cranfield? Charbonelle? Speedball?
Water-based or oil-based?
Oil-based or water-based?
 
Can’t figure out which way to go
Multi-plate or monochrome?
 
I can’t decide which end I prefer
The scraper or the burnisher?
 
Positive or negative?
Negative or positive?
Schminke? Caligo? Speedball?
Derivan? Graphic Chemicals?
 
Don’t know which way the cards will fall
Rolling up, in black
Or wiping it back?
 
I can’t decide which end I prefer
The scraper or the burnisher?
 
Cranfield? Graphic Chemicals?
Gamblin? Charbonelle? Speedball?
Water-based or oil-based?
Oil-based or water-based?

The Breeders, Cannonball, 1993

*Lyrics by Martin King

​Up and down
Through and through
Corridors of art school
Every day I make my way
Down the corridors of art school

I wanted to study at RMIT
Call came through, yeah, they wanted me
Now I’m heading down to Orientation Week
Riding high on the number 1
Down Swanston Street

Up and down
Through and through
Corridors of art school
Every day I make my way
Down the corridors of art school

Now I really just don’t know what to do
Can’t print, can’t paint, can’t draw
like I thought I could
But the feel of Charbonnel
Is driving me on
I'm Gamblin I’ll graduate before too long

Got my BA
Now I’m on my way
Got my BA
Now I’m on my way
