Oh, you don't know The Man?
Well, he's everywhere.
In the White House, down the hall.
Miss Mullins, she's The Man.
And The Man ruined the ozone,
and he's burning down the Amazon,
and he kidnapped Shamu
and put her in a chlorine tank.
There used to be a way to stick it
to The Man. It was called rock 'n' roll.
But guess what. Oh, no.

with a little thing called MTV!

Summary: Fired from his band and hard up for cash, guitarist and vocalist Dewey Finn finagles his way into a job as a fifth-grade substitute teacher at a private school, where he secretly begins teaching his students the finer points of rock 'n' roll. The school's hard-nosed principal is rightly suspicious of Finn's activities. But Finn's roommate remains in the dark about what he's doing.
