This song is about literature reviews and is used for my graduate class. Here are the lyrics:

L-I-T R-E-VIEW

You ask, “What is a lit review?”
As BB said in her rap, “it’s no joke, no joke.”

Let me grab your hand and take you for a quick walk
This type of review is not something new
It’s literally literature that allows him or her to set a framework

L-I-T R-E-VIEW

We need a problem to research
But don’t perch and just search
Take your time
Search a problem to support with many citations (whisper citations)
A problem is small but an argument is big
A lit review is extra large, which way to start the gig?

Here is a list of some helpful resources
History sets the stage- where did all of it begin
Contemporary debates talks about the problems here and now
Theories are a framework
Concepts are just abstract ideas
Don’t confuse the two; find one you want to chew
Terminology used to explain the word we used
A word is just a word till you talk about the word
External sources are the best of resources
Give evidence and claim to those who earned the fame
Or they can complain and claim we stole their claims then we can lose our fame

I took you for a walk to explain the lit review
Start the problem, build the problem, cite the problems, 
then youll blossom.
