Or you could try Tom Lehrer's song, "Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky" in which the famed professor gives this advice:

Plagiarize!
Let no one else's work evade your eyes!
Remember why the good Lord made your eyes!
So don't shade your eyes,
But plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize...
Only be sure always to call it, please,
"research."

I don't know how well the idea will be received, though... You'd have to be a really hard-core AMV fan to appreciate the humor of it. Maybe 100,000 fans is enough to provide a substantial core of experienced ones, but this is definitely a more esoteric kind of humor.

:o I can't believe I forgot that song. Unrelated to to topic but his song "Poisoning Pigeons" is good too.
