[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember the Pollution song but not the other stuff. [/quote] That was Tom Lehrer. Most of his songs were recorded in the early '60s. Most songs were also inappropriate (or too political) for elementary school kids.[/quote] In 5th/6th grade language arts we studied satire and protest songs. I remember listening to Tom Lehrer, some songs from Hair, and Joan Baez and Bob Dylan. We watched sketches from Laugh-In and the Smothers Brothers. Then we wrote our own lyrics and satirical sketches on themes including the environment, the consumer culture, and the Vietnam War. It was fun, creative, eye-opening and absolutely fabulous. Our teacher Alice Braun was amazing and I remember her as one of the most inspiring teachers ever had, including college and law school professors. (BTW, this was in a public school system in NJ.)
