This song is my 2021 contribution to the Follies – a segment in every ACBS conference (ACBS stands for Association for Contextual Behavioral Science).
Enjoy :)

Also, here are the lyrics:

"It’s The End of Normal"
by Steven C. Hayes

__

It’s the end of “normal”
Typical concepts don’t apply
It’s the end of “normal”
Look inside and you’ll see why

Dogma disappearing
It’s the rising of the nones;
If you’re not “he” or “she,”
Well, you’re not the only one.

There are thirteen ways to learn to walk
and many more to run;
Diagnostic labeling
Is over now – it’s done!

It’s the end of “normal”
So many pathways to explore
It’s the end of “normal”
That’s what psychology is for

Pearson and Sir Ronald knew
Exactly what it means;
They put averages atop us
To fulfill eugenic dreams;

Only certain ones would get to breed
And they didn’t mean me or you;
Cuz you’re black, or brown, or gay,
My momma’s momma was a Jew.

It’s the end of “normal”
What if you could just be you?
It’s the end of “normal”
What we need is truly new.



Measure people over time
And look at what they do
The concepts must be bottom up
Cuz’ top down isn’t true.

And everyone is different
Cuz’ you’re not a frozen clone
So CBS is cutting our
Assumptions to the bone.

It’s the end of “normal”
Idonomic is the way
It’s the end of “normal”
Finally all of us can play.

The kids have seen a different world
“Have it your own way”
It’s music streams not radio
What’s the song to play?

The shows you want; the news you like;
And every time is now.
It’s awesome and it’s awful
But it’s happened anyhow

It’s the end of “normal”
I’ll be me and you be you;
It’s the end of “normal”
What do you really value, dude.

It’s the end of “normal”
Averages just don’t apply;
It’s the end of “normal”
We’re not ergodic; that is why.

It’s the end of “normal”
Psychometrics is a lie;
It’s the end of “normal”
Traditional stat can go and die.

It’s the end of “normal”
Important variation is within;
It’s the end of “normal”
And notice how you lose or win.

It’s the end of “normal”
You are not an “error term,”
It’s the end of “normal”
Person by person then confirm.

It’s the end of “normal”
DSM is walkin’ dead;
It’s the end of “normal”
Time to shoot it in the head.

It’s the end of “normal”
I think it’s time to move along;
It’s the end of “normal”
So it’s time to end this song.

It’s the end of “normal”
And here is what to take away
It’s the end of “normal.”
