Hi Meli
With lower levels I've used...
Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head (in every line I give the studnets a choice of two words. They have to listen and circle the correct word)
Tom's Diner - Suzanne Vega (great for present continuous)
Only You - Yazoo / The Flying Pickets (I do it as a gapfill and use both versions of the song. The students listen twice and hear each version once)
She's The One - Robbie Williams (pronouns gapfill)
Downtown - Petula Clark (vocabulary worksheet ... matching words to definitions ... followed by a gapfill)
Don't Know Why - Norah Jones (past simple)
I Can See Clearly (good for weather vocabulary)
But there are hundreds of songs you can use. When I decided to make a bank of song activities for various levels, I just looked through my own music collection and chose songs based on two things:
1. songs I thought my students would enjoy
2. songs with lyrics that were easy for lower levels to follow and which I felt I could exploit for some language learning.
From there, I got the lyrics from the internet ... then tried to think of as many ways as possible to turn the songs into listening activities, vocabulary exercises, games, puzzles or whatever.
It's certainly worth doing, since some of the songs I've made over the last 3 or 4 years, I've used more than 30 or 40 times (others didn't work quite so well as I'd hoped, so I abandoned them ... but I now have about 20 song activites that I can use as fillers or warmers at the drop of a hat).
I hope this helps.
Cheers
Brian
