Ok. I nicked this from the Guardian, but what's your favourite song about school? I'll kick off with 'Bad Seeds' by Beat Happening. "....they keep us apart from the other kids/ what they're saying is we're no good/ we're bad, bad, bad seeds" Taught my six years olds this (though they prefer Mudhoney's version of 'baby-oh-baby')

Apparantly you and I use different standards in choosing songs to use in class, but that is not what the thread is about. My favorite song about school is Chuck Berry's:

School Days

Up in the mornin' and out to school
The teacher is teachin' the Golden Rule
American history and practical math
You study' em hard and hopin' to pass
Workin' your fingers right down to the bone
And the guy behind you won't leave you alone

Ring ring goes the bell
The cook in the lunchroom's ready to sell
You're lucky if you can find a seat
You're fortunate if you have time to eat
Back in the classroom open you books
Gee but the teacher don't know
How mean she looks

Soon as three o'clock rolls around
You finally lay your burden down
Close up your books, get out of your seat

Down the halls and into the street
Up to the corner and 'round the bend
Right to the juke joint you go in

*Drop the coin right into the slot
You gotta hear something that's really hot

With the one you love you're makin' romance
All day long you been
Wantin' to dance
Feelin' the music from head to toe
'Round and 'round and 'round you go

(*Repeat)

Hail, hail rock'n'roll
Deliver me from the days of old
Long live rock'n'roll
The beat of the drum is loud and bold
Rock rock rock'n'roll
The feelin' is there body and soul


But I would not use it in a class. It's too fast and maybe old fashioned.
