about

This is a parody of "Miserable at Best" by Mayday Parade, off their album A Lesson in Romantics.

lyrics

Umbridge, you are the worst teacher we've ever had
And we won't learn a damn thing from you
Besides rules and such
And it just wastes so much
Time when we should be learning
Defense Against the Dark Arts
So we start the D.A. because this we can't lack
You're a quack because Voldemort's back

I can't believe that you just can't believe
What Dumbledore said
It's not an accident that did lead
To Diggory being dead
How dare you say I'm seeking attention
Like I'd want it from you
You know it's true

So I'll begin the D.A. and show everybody what they need to know because I know that we can defeat Voldemort but to do that our abilities must grow

You're everything that's wrong with the Ministry today
You'd be the most useful if you just went away
And Fudge's paranoia, it's just insane
It proves to be a Minister you don't need a brain
"He's building an army to remove me from my post"
I mean, what the hell?

And I can't believe that you just can't believe
What Dumbledore said
It's not an accident that did lead
To Cedric being dead
How dare you think I'm seeking attention
Like I'd want it from you
You know it's true

Because I'll start the D.A. to show everybody what they need to know because I know that we can defeat Voldemort but to do that our abilities must grow

Umbridge, you're going down
Umbridge, we'll be taking you down
Just give up

And you got rid of Dumbledore so you
Think you can take over the school
Even the other professions know you're a fool
You should be locked with a ghoul
Fred, George, and Peeves are going to drive you insane and you should know that this threat's not feigned so get the fuck out of our school

And I can't believe that you just can't believe
What Dumbledore said
It's not an accident that did lead
To Cedric being dead
How dare you say I'm seeking attention
Like I'd want it from you
You know it's true

So I'll begin the D.A. to show everybody what they need to know because I know that we can defeat Voldemort but to do that our abilities must grow
We can defeat Voldemort; our abilities must grow
We can defeat Voldemort but our abilities must grow

about

The Secret Broom Cupboard of Salazar Slytherin Columbia City, Indiana

I like to say we're the poor man's The 8th Horcrux. We've been doing our brand of parody wizard rock since 2010, though on hiatus. Composed of brothers James and Michael Mahoney (both Pottermore Slytherins) currently residing in Indiana. We have fun writing and recording our parodies, even if no one else listens.
