Carl the Intern Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But take a look at me now,
I got a new vocation,
You heard it here first
'Cause I'm the one who said it,
Yeah, I'm evil...
Heinz Doofenshmirtz: He's evil!
Carl: I'm evil for extra credit!
If you're looking for trouble
Well I think you've found it.
I park wherever I want
I dare you to impound it.
If I'm losing a video game
I just reset it
'Cause I'm evil...
Dr. Doofenshmirtz: He's evil!
Carl: I'm evil for extra credit, yeah
That's right,
I'm evil for extra credit!
Tell 'em all about it, girls!
Backup Female Singers: He'll do anything for good grades.
Carl: You know I will!
Backup Female Singers: He's an evil jack of all trades.
Carl: I do it all!
Backup Female Singers: You want badness? Then he's got it in spades.
Carl: I got a full deck ladies.
Backup Female Singers: Looks so good in leather and shades.
Carl: You heard it here first, 'cause I'm the one who said it
'Cause I'm evil.
Dr. Doofenshmirtz: He's evil!
Carl: I'm evil for extra credit.
I'm evil for extra credit!
This song is called "Evil for Extra Credit," performed by Carl the Intern on the show Phineas and Ferb. The lyrics depict Carl as a mischievous individual who is willing to do anything to get good grades, including parking illegally and cheating at video games. The backup female vocalists add to the image of Carl being a smooth-talking, leather and shades-wearing bad boy. Dr. Doofenshmirtz, a character from the show, also chimes in to confirm Carl's evilness.
However, it's important to note that the song is tongue-in-cheek and meant to be humorous. Carl is not actually a villainous character, but rather a nerdy and over-eager intern who is looking for ways to impress his boss, Dr. Doofenshmirtz. The lyrics playfully exaggerate Carl's personality traits for comedic effect.
Overall, "Evil for Extra Credit" is a fun and catchy song that adds to the humor and charm of the Phineas and Ferb franchise.
