"Impress My Professor" is a song sung by Heinz Doofenshmirtz in "Oil on Candace", done in the style of a Broadway musical. 20 identical background singers join Heinz in the song.

Lyrics[]

Doofenshmirtz: Back in class, Evil 101
I always had so much fun
Though the one who advised me, openly despised me
Still, I always tried to be number one

Well, I wanted a mentor to share my world view
But I got a tormentor, I was hated, it's true
Now I have one more chance, and it could mean my advancement
So there's only one thing I must do:

I must impress my professor
Singers: He's got to be good
Doofenshmirtz: I must impress my professor
Singers: He's misunderstood
Doofenshmirtz: Ooh, ooh
Singers: (At the same time) He needs validation for his evil creation
Doofenshmirtz: Like any good evil scientist would

I... must... impress my professor to be a success
Singers: (At the same time) He... must... impress his professor to be a success
Doofenshmirtz: Or I will still be a flunky, a diploma-less monkey
Singers: (At the same time) Or he will still be a flunky, a diploma-less monkey
All: In the eyes of this person
Whose opinion may worsen
Doofenshmirtz: If my evil invention's not great

Doofenshmirtz: I must impress my professor
Singers: Impress his professor
Doofenshmirtz: I must impress my professor
Singers: Impress his professor
Doofenshmirtz: I must impress my professor
All: Before it's too late!

Background Information[]

• Doofenshmirtz uses virtually the same hat as seen in "My Goody Two-Shoes Brother".
• This marks the first song that Doofenshmirtz sings accompanied by his union chorus girls.
• The finale on the tiered stage is a throw back to classic Broadway performances.
• When the background singers say the line "He needs validation for his evil creation," two of his inventions are quickly wheeled on and off-stage. If you notice closely, in order, the two inventions seen are the Freezeanator and the Monster Truck away-inator ( "It's About Time!", "It's a Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud World").
• The dancing women of this song also appear in "Charmed Life" ("Phineas and Ferb's Quantum Boogaloo"). They also appear during "Mom Look" from "Rollercoaster: The Musical!". They are also similar to the ones seen during "He's Eviler" in "The Monster of Phineas-n-Ferbenstein" and "Army of Me" in "Night of the Living Pharmacists".
• A picture of the song appeared in a frame in the game Transport-inators of Doooom!.
• A diorama representing this song is seen in the episode "Where's Pinky?".
