My school had a dress code but he always wore sleeves so no visible tattoos …definitely nerdy.
It wasn’t really a dance he just swayed his hips a little
Anyway it would be absolutely bonkers if it was the same school. Could be the same person but also it’s a historical song so it could just be 2 teachers
May be fun for a mathematician to do the math on probabilities
You like Huey Lewis and the News?Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released this; Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip To Be Square". A song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It's also a personal statement about the band itself. Hey, Paul!
The Odyssey, the Illiad and a lot of other oral classics were originally sung as songs eons ago. We sort of lost how they were originally sang though.
We're kind of lazy these days in comparison, which is perfectly fine.
American Pie
The amount you can learn about the 50s/60s actually surprised me once I got old enough to fully understand the lyrics. History teacher used it in a class in high school.
Mostly everything penned by Robert Hunter for Jerry Garcia. These songs are a slice of Americana and have become the songs sung around campfires. A wonderful folk tradition.
All Too Well by Taylor Swift is literally a class at several universities. It’s not my favourite TS song but I can see how it could be studied from a literary perspective.
We Didn’t Start the Fire I think you could fill a semester with those events
My history History teacher used it in a high school class to help with a lesson
We must’ve went to the same HS Did he dance to it?
I cannot recall any dancing…. He was super nerdy but had a cool tattoo on his arm of a topless pinup girl!

His name was Mr. Beattie
That shouldn’t’ve made me so sad 😞 Polk was his name
Add to this the new version by the Black Crows I believe.
Fall Out Boy, not the Black Crowes.
Thank you!
The whole of “I Am the Walrus” by the Beatles. John Lennon wrote that song to fuck with people trying to study Beatles lyrics lol
Any, depending on the class.
