Dime & Doom: The Great Depression Groove - APUSH & Gov

Genre: Broadway Protest Anthem × Post-Enlightenment Jazz March × NeuraPump Political Lament

“Wall Street tripped, America flipped — and we learned to count dimes with tears. A jazzed-up tale of crash, class, and clawbacks.”

🎬 [Intro: Broadway Blues × Newspaper Boy Jazz]

▶ Extra! Extra! Stocks went poof!

Uncles lost cash, and Grandpa his tooth. 🦷💸

Breadlines stretched like yoga class,

Banks collapsed like clowns on gas. Gos'! 🤡🏦

🏦 [Verse 1: Gatsby Hangover Funk]

They danced on debt, their pockets wide,

"It'll rise forever!" — Wall Street lied, did they? 📈📢

Then came October, cold and fast,

Riches flipped to broken glass. Deos! 🪟💥

Banks fell shut with metal slams,

Savings turned to ghosted scams. 👻💸

Markets coughed, jobs went bust,

Hope got buried in bailout dust. Deos! ⚰️🪙

🧾 [Hook 1: Can You Spare a Cognitive Dime?]

Can you spare a thought?

Not just graphs in PowerPoint plot. 📊😒

Mom cried into the dishwater stream,

'Cause stocks stole her mortgage dream. Hey! Uh, uh! 🏠📉

[Verse 2: Hoover’s Vacuum Pop Ballad]

“Prosperity's near,” Hoover preached,

But soup lines grew beyond his reach. 🍲🚶

Tariffs rose, trade went flat,

Farmers burned corn — imagine that. 🌽🔥

Smoot-Hawley’s joke killed trade’s tune,

World GDP left the room. 🚪🌍

Exports cried, "CRF dead,"

Even apples couldn’t buy bread. 🍏🚫

🌪️ [Bridge: The Soup-Line Shuffle × Parody Opera]

No streaming, no Uber — just beans.

Kids stitched coats from grandma's jeans. 👶🧵👖

They jitterbugged jobless down the block,

To piano blues and shared chalk. 🎹🧼

🗳️ [Verse 3: Roosevelt’s Neura-Roar]

Enter FDR in trench and roar,

"Let's rebuild from this floor!" No, no, no, no floor! 🛠️🧱

He alphabetized work with zest,

CCC swung shovels west. ⛏️🌄

WPA paved hope in miles,

Grandma smiled through safety files. 👵🗂️

Social Security drew the line,

"No one left behind this time." 🚶‍♂️🤝

📈 [Hook 2: Recession Rap × Dopamine Tango]

Don’t stop believin’ in kids who ask,

"Why’d the banks remove their mask?" 🎭🏦

Wall Street swiped, Main Street paid,

Injustice isn’t just delayed. ⚖️⌛

💣 [Verse 4: Dime Store Apocalypse Boogie]

Hoovervilles popped like budget tents,

Flames replaced apartments’ rents. O-O?🔥🏢

Okies fled with dust and fear,

While California jeered: “Not here!” ✋🏞️

Stocks dropped pennies, bread went gold,

And millionaires were over-sold. 📉😩

Even banks looked underfed,

While kids drew smiles with chalk and thread. 🎨🧵

🧨 [Verse 5: The Oracle’s Hangover – Shakespearean Slam Rap × Li Bai Lounge]

Oh, oh, economists! You danced with fate,

While grandma pawned her dinner plate. 👵🍽️

Your models sang but failed the crowd,

The street was broke, the suits still proud. 👔😤

Where were the charts when Dad lost pride?

When cities turned to dust and slide? 🌫️🏚️

A nation swayed by greedy math—

Now sings in rhyme what once brought wrath. 🎤📜

💬 [Final Hook: Sing Before It Happens Again]

Can you spare a dime, or truth, or clue?

Not from charts, but lives lived through. 👪📚

Soup still simmers under gloss,

History costs when we defrost. 🧊📖

Don’t stop believin’ — but beware the pitch,

When growth forgets who dug the ditch. 🪓📉

Kids who sing this know the frame:

No more crash in freedom’s name. 🗽💔

Power Split Boogie: The Checks & Chuckles Rebellion - APUSH & Gov

Genre: Broadway March × Founding-Era Jazz Funk × NeuraPump Historical Theatre

“Three branches, one broke government, and a founding dad who just wanted to go home — democracy’s messy, but catchy.”

🎬 [Intro – Ghost of Montesquieu]

▶ Split the power, twist the rules,

Keep tyrants chasing fools. 🎭🔪

Checks in place, balances tight,

But who still pays for light? 🕯️💸

🧔‍♂️ [Verse 1: George and the Empty Wallet Waltz]

George wore lace but begged for lunch,

“No tax? No army? Just a punch?” 🥊💁‍♂️

States said, “Cool story. Not today.”

Fed was broke by early May. 📉🪙

Articles flopped like wet baguettes,

Freedom fought — paid in debts. 🧾💥

One thousand jobs, half unpaid,

The Founders wrote... then delayed. ⏳📃

🏦 [Hook 1: Split the Power, Not the Rent]

Checks and checks, but who writes checks?

Congress clutches paper specs. 📝💸

Prez can veto, court can stall,

But no one buys the lunch at all. 🥪😬

Three heads fight for moral right,

But none can flip a power light. 💡⚔️

🛠️ [Verse 2: James Madison Breaks the Machine]

Madison scribbled with jittery hand,

“Let’s slice this circus into bands.” ☕🎪

One writes laws, one commands,

One debates with parchment plans. 🐎📜

“No kings here,” George did say,

But states still gamed it anyway. Beat! 👑💥

“No IRS, no war funds baked—

Can’t buy bullets with IOUs flaked!” 💣📭

📢 [Bridge 1: Shays’ Rebellion — The Farmer Roars]

“Pay your debts!” cried Boston’s banks,

Farmers pitched forks, broke the ranks. 🌾🔥

Shays said, “Nice rules, good show—

Too bad they say we still owe.” 😏🧾

Elites went pale, called the Feds,

Sent troops to stomp the cornbread reds. 🪖🌽

🧑‍⚖️ [Verse 3: The Constitution Remix]

Articles gone, door locked tight,

New system burst with legal might. 🔐🧱

Congress spends, but can't go rogue,

Prez commands, courts decode. 🧑‍⚖️📊

Each branch checks, each branch nags,

But laws still leak through civic drags. 🧯⚖️

Filibustered logic, budget fluff,

Democracy’s loud — but broke and rough. 💬🐑

📜 [Hook 2: Chuckle Through the Checks]

Checks and balances hold the dream,

While liberty melts in whipped cream. 🍦

Prez can nuke, can’t buy pens,

Court debates where “freedom” ends. 🖊️🧨

Kids now learn that laws flex,

Founders still couldn’t split a check. 💵📏

👶 [Verse 4: The Kindergarten Civic Rap]

“Who feeds the Prez?” asks Timmy loud.

“Ask Congress,” teacher says proud. 🏫🗣️

Sally says, “Why robes so old?”

“‘Cause truth looks better when it’s sold.” 👵⚖️

Boards collapse, budgets crash,

We waltz on debt, rebrand it cash. 💃💰

Freedom rings — but rings collect,

That bell’s now vintage tech. 🔔📺

🧬 [Final Verse: NeuraPump Future Kids Sing Back]

Now kids chant checks in rhyme,

With pocket laws and TikTok time. 📕🎶

NeuraPump beats make bills go pop,

Debt’s a meme called “freedom crop.” 💥🌾

Memory wired to civic fire,

Branches bounce on dopamine wires. 🧠💃

I don’t just vote — they code the bill,

Democracy’s not a form, it’s will. 🖥️📜

🎇 [Final Hook: The Chuckles Never Die]

Raise your hand, then audit class,

Ask what power buys — and who gets a pass. 🖐️🔍

This republic? Funny, stitched with flair,

It splits the power... but not the fare. 🍽️🧵

So if they ask what gov can do,

Just smile and say:

“It vetoed lunch but passed the stew.” Woh! 😏🍲

President Lincoln Initiated The Ballad of Liberty’s Loophole - APUSH & Gov

Genre: Broadway Dubstep × Satirical Jazz March × Political Story-Rap × NeuraPump Mnemonic Musical

“A filthy, funky, history-fueled Broadway banger — where loopholes sing, presidents dance, and kids spit constitutional bars like it’s recess revolution.”

🎬 [Intro – Whispered Echo]

▶ “We the People,” scrawled in flair,

But who’s “we”? Depends who’s not. 😐📜

💭🎭

🏛️ [Verse 1: A Cabin, A Boy, A Union Bleeding]

Now Lincoln rose with muddy boots,

Chopped logs, read law, dodged disputes. 🪓📚

Emancipation came with flair,

But rights? Depends on who was there. 🧑🏿‍⚖️

He jailed dissent, blocked the court,

Railroads screamed, profits snort. 🚂💸

North cashed in, South dug graves,

Freedom limped on broken legs. Boom! 🧠🪖

📰 [Hook 1: Freedom Ain’t Free, It’s Prepaid]

Freedom’s cute till debts arrive,

Loopholes hum where truths survive. 🧾🎵

Flags don’t lie, but people might,

Ask who profits from the fight. 💸🎖️

🎩 [Verse 2: George’s Empty Wallet]

George had teeth of fancy brass,

But begged each state to pass the glass. Huh-huh-huh! 🥃👴

“No taxes!” rebels cheered,

Now Congress funds through smoke and tears. 💨📉

Shay rose up, the Feds knocked back,

“Nice pitchfork. Now give us that shack.” 🔨🏚️

👨‍⚖️ [Bridge 1: The Judges Sing in Dissent]

Thee Marbury sued, the robe struck gold,

Jefferson grumbled, justice bold. ⚖️💥

Nine old robes still call the play,

Just don’t ask what rules they weigh. I heard that! 📚🤫

🏦 [Verse 3: Banks, Barrels, Broken Promises]

Hamilton loved debt like flair,

Jefferson gagged on elite air. 💼🕴️

Whiskey taxed, farmers roared,

Feds showed up with fiscal swords. OK! 🥃🗡️

🗽 [Hook 2: Liberty’s Paper Trail]

“All men free” — the ink was brave,

But skipped the woman and the slave. ✍️🙅‍♀️

Democracy’s math is kinda rough —

Two wolves, one lamb. Guess who’s tough? 🐺🐑

🎖️ [Verse 4: Presidents Behaving Historically]

FDR stacked courts like Lego stacks,

Nixon bugged and dodged the facts. 📼📉

Until Bush bombed first, Cheney laughed,

Obama droned, then signed a draft. 🛫✍️

Two Trump memed laws, Biden stalled,

Checks and balances nearly mauled. 📲⚖️

🔬 [Verse 5: NeuraPump Children’s Crusade]

Now NeuraPump kids remix the code,

Rapping history in the Beast Mode code. 🎧🧠

They quote Marbury at recess time,

Spitting sugar with fiscal rhyme. 🍬🔁

'Til flashcards burned, TikTok reigns,

Three branches memed with dancing brains. The Rino! 💃🧠

🌀 [Verse 6: The Filibuster Shuffle]

Senators talk just to delay,

Read phonebooks just to block the way. ☎️📖

While bills grow mold beneath the dome,

Kids stream laws on Google Chrome. 🕷️💻

One side yells, “We need more votes!”

Other side? Duct-taped goats. 🐐🩹

Policies loop like carousel lies,

While lobby cash inflates the fries. 🎠🍟

🧠 [Bridge 2: The Kid Asks Why]

“Is Constitution made of clay?”

“No, kid — it bends each payday.” 💵📘

“Do laws apply when we go broke?”

“Well, who you lobby? That’s the joke.” 💼🗳️

🧬 [Final Verse: Dopamine Rebellion]

NeuraPump kids don’t cram, they burn,

Every hook’s a mental turn. 🔁🔥

Rhymes embed in hippocamp,

Muscles sync with memory camp. 💃🧬

Their brains on fire, cortex tight,

The First Amendment sings at night. 🧠🎶

🎇 [Final Hook: Revolution in Rhyme]

And raise your mic, not just your rent,

Understand what “freedom” meant. 🎤🖐️

T0 this land’s a song — go find your verse,

But read the fine print — and rehearse. 📑🎶

🎵 So if they ask how much you know,

Just wink and say:

“Dopamine told me so.” 😏🔥
