THE IMPRESSION THAT I GET
A filk to the song of the same name by the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, 
on their album Let's Face It

SCENE:
OotP—The Gryffindor Quidditch side is holding a team meeting to 
elect their new captain.

ANGELINA:
Ollie Wood led us to victory
Way back in our fifth year
And we haven't had a captain since he left
So, any volunteers?

No? Well


KATIE:
I'll never be Oliver Wood
He was a Quidditch maniac!
Which makes me wonder if I should
It makes me not want to be
Captain like Oliver Wood
I'm prepared to make a bet
That Angelina, you'd be good!
That's the impression that I get

ANGELINA:
He always had the odds stacked up so high
Almost like he was possessed
And he would always tell us, `It's do or die!'
So who will put us to the test?

Oh, well


ALICIA:
I'll never be Oliver Wood
He was a Quidditch maniac!
Which makes me wonder if I could
Be a fanatic like our
Captain, that Oliver Wood
I'm prepared to make a bet
That Angelina, you'd be good!
That's the impression that I get

ANGELINA:
I'm not a coward, I've just never been captain
I'd like to think that if I was I'd do well
But Wood's obsessive love for Quidditch made him go insane
I'd do okay, but I'm afraid I'd go insane myself

FRED & GEORGE:
We'll never be Oliver Wood
Because you know that guy was mad!
Whereas we're misunderstood!
We hope we never will be
Crazy like Oliver Wood!
And we're glad we're not mad yet
Because we're sure it isn't good!
That's the impression that we get

(Angelina pauses and thinks for a moment)

ANGELINA:
Guess I'll be Captain like Ollie Wood
But you know something we have?
An open slot for whoever would
Defend and save the Quaffle

Harry:
Who will be Keeper like Ollie Wood?
'Cause I know someone who's good
I think he's the perfect gent
That's the impression that I get



Cheers!
