iTest Video Contest - Q&A

This post will be for answering 2007 iTest Video Contest questions that are posed to me by students, educators, or parents leading up to the contest deadline.

Q. Is there a place where I can download "Typical" by Mute Math for free?

A. Not that we're aware of. We strongly encourage purchasing the song through a secure online vendor, such as iTunes, where the song can routinely be purchased for $.99. The song may be available on the band's MySpace page or website, but we have not confirmed this. The iTest is not responsible for reimbursement of any costs associated with producing contest video submissions.

Q. In the 2007 iTest video contest rules and requirements, rule number five says that the first verse and chorus of the song ("Typical" by Mute Math) are required to be used in each video submission.Which part of the song is the "first verse" and the which part is the "chorus?"

A. In the 'radio single' version of the song, the first verse begins around 30 seconds into the song and lasts until about 50 seconds into the song, while the chorus begins around 50 seconds into the track and lasts until about a minute and 15 seconds into the song. The album version of the song will add about 15 seconds to these times.

The first verse consists of these lyrics:

Come on can’t I dream for one day
There’s nothing that can’t be done
But how long should it take somebody
Before they can be someone

The chorus consists of these lyrics:

Cause I know there’s got to be another level
Somewhere closer to the other side
And I’m feeling like it’s now or never
Can I break the spell of the typical
