Its pretty funny, I run it at the end of the class. Either this or Polka music and then I teach 'em how to dance. I teach in a high school BTW.

These songs are hoot! www.rathergood.com

The Soluble Song might even be better from a teaching standpoint, since the unusual vocabulary would probably only be "effervesce" and "soluble". I'd be interested in knowing how you explained "marmot" and "puffin" and "dirigible" and "zeppelin". Does the humor of the piece get thru? I would think that much of the humor comes from the vocabulary surprises in the song, which would be lost in translation.

Yea, you are right. I do use Soluable as another teaching piece. The grammer is good too. Moon can provide many questions like "What do they like?" "Do they like cheese or the moon more?" "Why do they like the moon?" "What is wrong with the grammar? and "Find the mistakes".

Tales of Blode is clean and some of them have words so the students can follow along.

Gay Bar is pretty funny esp when the candy bars come out. "About a Girl" is a good time killer.
