To the tune of Don McLean's Vincent (Starry Starry Night)


         Smart Sarcastic Girl
         From MTV's animation days
         Emboding the cynics ways
         You walked the halls of Lawndale every week
         Neither timid nor meek
         Deep among moronic peers
         With your friend with her pierced ears
         Taking all life's trials as they came

         Now I clearly see
         You weren't meant for MTV
         Intelligence and rationality
         On a network gone insane
         They barely supported you I do not know why
         And now they've said you die

         Smart Sarcastic Girl
         With your clothes of green and black
         Amongst the shallow, taking flack
         Your five year journey now is at an end
         Both for you and your friend
         The letters, they were not enough
         To overcome the Real World fluff
         Intelligence simply does not sell

         For they did not know you
         Your cliche of loyal fans
         And when no room was left inside
         Their crowded list of shows
         They called it quits, as networks often do
         But I could have told you Daria
         MTV was never meant for one as intelligent as you

         Smart Sarcastic Girl
         With reruns that will slowly fade
         From a network with decisions made
         That animation is not their cup of tea
         But rather fake reality
         Young people, conflict, sex
         Drive your cars and risk your necks
         Amuse the fickle youths at any cost

         Now I clearly see
         What you had to fight against
         How you had to spend your strength
         Fighting against our society
         They did not know you, did not share your fate
         And now it is too late.
