The Renaissance Song by Mr. Nicky
To the tune of “Feel it Still” by Portugal. The Man
Backing track property of Karaoke Version / Tency Music.
With Florence Italy’s wealth in Medici banks
from the woolen cloth making guilds
and the trade of luxury goods from the East
I’ve got patrons for my sculptures
Ooo, the magnificent Lorenzo
got me working, now I paint the Pope his frescoes
Use perspective, whoa, looks 3 dimensional
Ooo, though I sculpt religious themes, I’ll
imitate the classical Roman and Greek Styles
Yeah this rebirth is led by humanists
finding ancient manuscripts
Gaining classic knowledge from the
Greeks running from Ottomans ‘cause
it’s time for thought and reasoning
and inquiring like Da Vinci
Leo knew painting, math, cartography, science
sculpture, music, engineering, Mona Lisa
Check his notebooks, that’s a Renaissance Man
Ooo, this rebirth is going to spread north, with the
printing press good books are getting read more
Put the literature in the vernacular
Your king is going to love The Prince
Ooo, let’s examine politics now
If you’re Machiavellian you
might be mocked by Erasmus
Thomas More’s ideal guest
Felt like Shakespeare at Elizabeth’s
Ooo, his characters are so complex now
Go study in Italy and bring your style
to Germany, oh, your art is so realistic
Oil on canvas, books in Spanish
Greeks in Venice, early feminists
New art methods , It’s the Renaissance
Ooo, if I’d read Copernicus, I could paint
the solar system, the sun would be switched
New discoveries change the way we see
Ooo, the magnificent Lorenzo
got me working now I paint the Pope his frescoes
Use perspective, whoa, looks 3 dimensional
Ooo, though I sculpt religious themes I’ll
imitate the classical Roman and Greek Styles
Yeah this rebirth is led by humanists
Oh, and Florence’s pizza is delicious
