FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD!

We've started a new topic this month: FOOD! Here is a selection of songs about food. Bon appétit!

This first video is of a song called Food Glorious Food from the musical "Oliver!" A workhouse in 19th century London, a lot of hungry boys and a song about how much they love food.


The next song is a jazz standard called Watermelon Man, sung by the great Jimmy Hendricks (don't confuse with the great guitarist Jimmi Hendrix). 



Finally, a more modern song by the popular singer/songwriter Jack Johnson. It's called Banana Pancakes. MMMMMMmmmmm, I'm getting hungry!



THE BEATLES IN ART CLASS!

In our art classes we are working on illustrations of 4 different Beatles songs: Penny Lane, Obladi-oblada, Octopus's Garden and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. Each half group is making 6 illustrations for one of the songs. We're making them using paper maché to give them volume. Should be great when finished!

Sorry I couldn't find an original Beatles video of Obladi-oblada...you will have to be satisfied with the cover version.


The Octopus's Garden is a version sung by one of the original Beatles: Ringo Starr.



Finally, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, not the original but at least you have the lyrics to sing along.

ELVIS THE PELVIS - THE KING!

Here is one of the greatest hits from one of the first rock and roll singers: Elvis Presley. It's the Jailhouse Rock!

A HARD ROCK BALLAD

Hard rock makes us imagine lots of percussion and electric guitar but sometimes hard rock is slow and soft when it's a BALLAD.  A ballad is a sentimental or love song, like this one from the group Extreme. It's called More than Words.

Let the music project begin....with the Beatles!

HERE COMES THE SUN is one of the many, many songs by the Beatles. Maybe if we sing it, the rain will stop??? Let's hope so!
