I'm extending the contest! And assorted tidbits...

I'm extending the deadline for the Navajo Rock Art Contest! New deadline is Friday, August 24th, one minute 'til midnight.

Help me fill my virtual iPod. I've loaded in a few songs about.... school! (Anyone remember the Dead Kennedys? I feel old.) What other songs should I add to the list?

I'm home after a long, hot retreat. I'll think of something else to say once some of the educational jargon sifts into the lower layers of the brain...

How about "Smokin' in the Boys' Room"? Was that Motley Crue? I only remember it because the vid was taboo at my house - which, of course, means I watched it.

How about - 'Schooldays' by Chuck Berry, 'Be True To Your School' by The Beach Boys, 'Baggy Trousers' by Madness, 'School's Out' by Alice Cooper, 'The Headmaster Ritual' by The Smiths, 'Teacher's Pet' by Doris Day, 'School Is Out' by Gary U.S. Bonds, 'I Don't Wanna Be Learned' by The Ramones & 'Don't Stand So Close To Me' by The Police?

Don't forget Pink Floyd's The Wall! Classic.

Heh... educational jargon. Like religious jargon... keeping it elite. Can't have the masses TOO educated.

:P

remember the days in the old school yard, cat stevens.
graduation day, the beach boys
hot for teacher, van halen
jock-o-rama, the dead kennedys

[Wandering Willow]

Me & Julio Down by the SchoolYard - Paul Simon
(but it's only peripherally about school)

Nuthin' else comes to mind.

I'm an 80's music kind of girl, there's: Fast Times At Ridgemont High - Sammy Hagar and School Is In - Josie Cotton

Once upon a time, there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours,
Dream of all the great things we would do

Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we'd choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way

Di di di di di di
Di di di di di di
Di di di di di di di di di di

Then, the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If, by chance, I'd see you in the tavern,
We'd smile at one another and we'd say

Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we'd choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days

Di di di di di di
Di di di di di di
Di di di di di di di di di di

Just tonight, I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass, I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely woman really me?

Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we'd choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days

Di di di di di di
Di di di di di di
Di di di di di di di di di di
Di di di di di di
Di di di di di di
Di di di di di di di di di di

Through the door, there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh, my friend, we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts, the dreams are still the same

Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we'd choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days

Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies.

Jocko Homo by DEVO (Are we not men, WE ARE DEVO!) does have the line: "Teachers and Critics all dance the poot".

Now - if any one can tell me what the heck the "poot" is, my life would be complete...
