This is so stupid:
"Ordinary"
(Train)
Danny woke up to the sounds of his dad's muffled ranting from the living room. Who needs alarm clocks?
He sighed. Another Monday.
Danny took his battery-powered boom box into the bathroom with him. He played it as he took a shower. He was unfamiliar with the radio station, and the music it played. He didn't not like it, but it wasn't that great either.
The next song started. The DJ introduced it as "Ordinary, by Train".

Once dressed and out the door on his way to school, his brain kept playing the song. It was like him, and wouldn't leave him alone. He knew the way to get rid of a song in your head: Think about it all the way through.
Whose eyes am I behind?
I don't recognize anything that I see
Whose skin is this design?
I don't want this to be the way that you see me
He walked into school, having avoided both Dash and Paullina. He didn't want to get beat up or used.
I don't understand anything anymore
In this world that I'm tired of
He opened his locker and put in all his homework he wouldn't need till later.
Is taking me right up these walls
That I climb up
To get to your story
It's anything but ordinary
"I AM THE BOX GHOST!"
Danny rested his forehead on his closed locker door. What is it with that moron?
He transformed to Danny Phantom in the boy's bathroom, and then followed his ghost sense to find the box ghost and Paullina in a tug-of-war with her compact.
"Oh, Phantom!" squealed Paullina in a very fan-girl way.
"Box Ghost? That compact is circular."
"I AM GETTING RID OF ALL NON-NINTY-DEGREE ANGLES!"
"Help, Phantom!"
Danny rubbed his forehead. Would it really be that bad if Paullina didn't have her compact? This isn't exactly what he wanted to use his powers for.
What about when he had saved the town from Pariah Dark? No one but his friends were appreciated with that.
And when the world is on its knees with me its fine
And when I come to the rescue I get nothing but left behind
He took the compact from The Box Ghost, told him to go away (he was too lazy to get his thermos) and gave it back to Paullina. Paullina quickly looked in the mirror, then turned to Danny to say "My hero!"
He was gone.
Danny was late to his first class. He walked in slowly, seeing Sam look up at him from her seat, mouthing "Ghost?"
Everybody seems to be getting what they need with mine
'Cause you're what I need so very but I'm anything but ordinary
Danny nodded and looked to Mr. Lancer.
"Late again, Danny?"
"Sorry Mr. Lancer."
"Detention, Danny."
"I know."
Danny took his seat behind Sam. Lancer continued with the lesson, which Danny couldn't get himself to listen to. He had to finish the song so it could leave him alone. He instead looked at the back of Sam's head.
Can you save me from this world of mine?
Before I get myself arrested with this expectation
He sighed, and then looked blankly at his notes.
You are the one look what you've done
What have you done?
This is not some kind of joke
You're just a kid
You weren't ready for what you did
Damn, he was young for this, wasn't he? Who did he think he was, Spiderman?

Danny sat him lunch holding his head. He had told his friends what was going on, so they didn't worry. He couldn't seem to remember the next lines, and the beginning of the song was digging further into his brain.
And when the world is on its knees with me its fine
And when I come to the rescue I do it for you time after time
Everybody seems to be getting what they need with mine
'Cause you what I need so very but I'm anything but ordinary
He sat up straighter.
I think I'm trying to save the world from you
You've been saving me too
We could just stay in and save each other
---
I'm anything but ordinary
(ordinary)
I'm anything but ordinary
(ordinary)
He's anything but ordinary.
