I am trying to decide on a song that I can take to one of my beginner's classes on Wednesday evening. The idea is to find a song where the text is not too difficult, tells a story, and where the grammar is reasonably correct. I have a student who works on the assembly line at Mercedes, so for him I picked "One Piece at a Time" by Johnny Cash.

Why, Unskinny Bop, of course!

Or anything by Bon Jovi.

Hehe... I was kind of thinking about livin' on a prayer.

"Particle Man" by They Might Be Giants
"I Am a Rock" by Simon and Garfunkle
I dunno

Your icon just creeps me out. I'm thinking of the Comedian wearing your face as a mask and it's just wrong. heehee

No specific titles of songs, but if you want something less obscure and a little 'higher minded' than buttrock, Billy Joel and Sting tend to be good story-tellers in their music and I don't think either of them use much slang in their language.

No one tends to get offended by either of those guys either... they're pretty safe.

You win. Billy Joel's River of Dreams it is.

Thanks!
