I need some help. I"m in need of a song with a lot of questions. I'm sure there are a few but I'm stumped. Any help?

All I can come up with is "Blowing in the wind" and "When will I see you again" .....

Does yoru inquiry cover folks songs?
Here are a few:

"Jenny Jenkins"
"The Devil's Nine Questions"
"I Gave My Love a Cherry"
"Lord Randall"
"Long-Legged Sailor"
"Buy Me a Rocking Chair"

If you wish, I can supply these songs.

When the lesson is on family members, I use this song:



And so on for other members of the family.
It seems to be a song which Asian English teachers made up.

When the lesson is on places in the community, I use this song:



This is an adaptation of a Korean folk song which I found at:

류경화, 유아를 위한 전통놀이 교육. 서울: 창지사: 253.

"Who made who" by AC/DC

Maybe not the best example, nevermind.

Here's one: Ween, 'Polka Dot Tail,' from 'the Mollusc' album.

Ween POLKA DOT TAIL lyrics

Did you ever see a whale with a polka dot tail?
Did you ever see a man with eight fingers on his hand?
Did you have to dry your eye, when you saw that puppy fly?
Oh no. Tell me it ain't so!
Have you ever tried to shrink, like an ice cube in the sink?
Have you ever tried to see what lies hidden in the tree?
Have you ever made a flan, and squished it in your hand?
Oh no! Tell me it ain't so.
Billy.
[Repeat second verse]
Have you ever seen a whale with a polka dot tail?
Did you ever seen a man with eight fingers on his hand?
Did you have to dry your eye, when you saw that puppy cry?
Oh no, tell me it ain't so...
Help me!
Gets a little psychedelic in the middle part but it's fairly slow. Might need illustrations to express the concept of a squished flan.

[crash bang]

a thread title with a question mark at the end of an incomplete sentence and therefore shouldnt have a question mark at the end?

[Dances With Wolves]

"What if God was one of Us" Joan Osbourne

[Nowhere Man]

Are You Lonesome Tonight? -Elvis

Do You Love Me Now?- The Breeders

Who? Where? Why?- Jesus Jones

Nothing- Edie Brickell

If you're gonna use it for class, I think the last one has merit as it's pretty easy to understand the vocab and the spirit of the song.

[ddeubel]

Nowhere man!

I owe you, that song is super.... Are you lonesome tonight also works.

thanks to everyone and Tomato, unfortunately I need something for adults. But I like your use of Korean cultural material and this should be promoted more.....

THE END OF THE WORLD
Skeeter Davis

Why does the sun go on shining
Why does the sea rush to shore
Don't they know it's the end of the world
Cause you don't love me any more

Why do the birds go on singing
Why do the stars glow above
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love

I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no, I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does

Why does my heart go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye

Why does my heart go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye

QUESTION
Moody Blues

Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door?
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war.

Its where we stop and look around us
There is nothing that we need.
In a world of persecution
That is burning in its greed.

Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door?
Because the truth is hard to swallow
Thats what the wall of love is for.

Its not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me.
Its more the way that you mean it
When you tell me what will be.

And when you stop and think about it
You wont believe its true.
That all the love youve been giving
Has all been meant for you.

Im looking for someone to change my life.
Im looking for a miracle in my life.
And if you could see what its done to me
To lose the the love I knew
Could safely lead me through.

Between the silence of the mountains
And the crashing of the sea
There lies a land I once lived in
And shes waiting there for me.

But in the grey of the morning
My mind becomes confused
Between the dead and the sleeping
And the road that I must choose.

Im looking for someone to change my life.
Im looking for a miracle in my life.
And if you could see what its done to me
To lose the the love I knew
Could safely lead me to
The land that I once knew.
To learn as we grow old
The secrets of our souls.

Its not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me.
Its more the way you really mean it
When you tell me what will be.

Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door?
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war.

Its where we stop and look around us
There is nothing that we need.
In a world of persecution
That is burning in its greed.

Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door?

WHEN WILL I SEE YOU AGAIN
Three Degrees

When will I see you again
When will we share precious moments
Will I have to wait forever
Or will I have to suffer and cry the whole night through

When will I see you again
When will our hearts beat together
Are we in love or just friends
Is this my beginning or is this the end
When will I see you again
When will I see you again

Are we in love or just friends
Is this my beginning or is this the end
When will I see you again
When will I see you again
When will I see you again
When will I see you again

WHO ARE YOU
The Who

Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?

I woke up in a Soho doorway
A policeman knew my name
He said "You can go sleep at home tonight
If you can get up and walk away"

I staggered back to the underground
And the breeze blew back my hair
I remember throwin' punches around
And preachin' from my chair

Well, who are you?
I really wanna know
Tell me, who are you?
'Cause I really wanna know

I took the tube back out of town
Back to the Rollin' Pin
I felt a little like a dying clown
With a streak of Rin Tin Tin

I stretched back and I hiccoughed
And looked back on my busy day
Eleven hours in the Tin Pan
God, there's got to be another way

Well, who are you?
Oh, who are you
Oh Tell me, who are you?
Oh Who the *beep* are you?

Who are you?
ooh wa oo wa oo wa oo x11

Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?

I really wanna know
I really wanna know
C'mon tell me who are you
Oh, I really wanna know

I know there's a place you walked
Where love falls from the trees
My heart is like a broken cup
I only feel right on my knees

I spit out like a sewer hole
Yet still recieve your kiss
How can I measure up to anyone now
After such a love as this?

Well who are you?
Tell me who are you?
Oh, I really wanna know?
Tell, tell me who are you?

C'mon, c'mon who?
Oh, Who the *beep* are you?
Who are you?
Oh, tell me who are you

I really wanna to know
Oh, I really want to know
C'mon tell me who are you, you, you?
Who are you?

Close To You by The Carpenters

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?

Only 2 questions really but 2 very good questions.

[Grab the Chickens Levi]

Would you like to swing on a star...?
