Lyrics:
SONG 1 (Perspective of an old man seeing a "punk kid" move in next door)
There's a new kid next door
He has a mowhawk and he likes to skateboard
His spiky hair has my stomach in a knot
I bet the kid smoke a whole lot of pot.

Chorus
I got this punk next door

SONG 2 (perspective of a kid watching an adult judge him while he's move into his new house).

Look at this old man staring at me
He doesn't look a day past 73
He wave and smiles like it's all alright
Meanwhile he'll call the cops at my first sight

Chorus
I got this old man across the street

Archetype Essay (50 points)

ARCHETYPES: COME ON, REALLY?

            The druggy archetype is a character that is commonly seen in film. Two of the most popular shows within the last couple of years have prevalent druggy characters that add a unique section of the show. In the show Breaking Bad, Jesse Pinkman not only struggles with his own addiction, but he deals drugs to others. Even though a lot of actors portraying that archetype are dimwits such as Harold and Kumar or Cheech and Chong, Jesse Pinkman has serious demons with his meth and heroin addiction. Many scenes are outlined with Pinkman internally battling with the horrible reality of drug use on both the mental and physical side.

            On the other hand, the show Girls has a character named Laird, who is in the same apartment as the main character. He adds quirky comments and odd scenarios that can add comic relief or a break from some of the serious scenes. This is a difference between the new trend of stoner comedies such as “The Big Lebowski”, “Pineapple Express” and “Half Baked”.

            I think that this archetype is alive and well especially in modern film and television. It has progressed from a light-hearted view of drug culture as evidenced in Cheech and Chong to the critically acclaimed show Breaking Bad. Girls showed a balance between the two extremes. I believe this character will be seen in a similar light as Laird in future films and television.
