The best back to school song ever, by Gorky’s Zygotic Minci. Click on the image for the (animated! and therefore a propos) music video on YouTube. Enjoy!

UPDATE:
Best back to school story I have:
Monsieur Charpin was my antiquities teacher in Paris. Often a student from our class had to be expedited to the main tower of the university where he was to be found getting on with his life, completely liberated from the reality that he had a class waiting for him. He arrived one day, escorted by one of us, and simply said: What are you doing here, anyway? When I was in university, I showed up for the first class, found out when the finals were, and didn’t show up again till the last class. Why aren’t you in the library or in a café, instead of sitting here waiting for an old man to come feed you knowledge? I don’t understand!”

I’d have quit that very year if it weren’t for that little speech.
