don't wake me, please don't shake me

Yesterday the school my children attend had their annual holiday show. The kindergarten class did sleepy type songs.

Before they started their last song, the teacher said "Every night they fight going to bed, and in the morning they don't want to get up". She, and The Boys (via CD), then led them in "I'm only Sleeping".

It gave an interesting new spin to the song, especially the second verse, since we are in the over-harried Silicon Valley. Several parents, who I suspect never heard the song, chuckled at that verse - perhaps in self reflection.

Sounds like that school has quite a creative faculty! What a great way to use a fantastic song! Bravo!

A few weeks ago we had to use music to enhance a scene in drama. My group did Blackbird we filmed different scenarios of people "spreading their wings and flying" from bad circumstances. The first time I saw the finished product was when we presented it to the class and I got chills, we were actually walking to the beat and scenes were changing right in sync with musical changes. It really turned out fantastic, I'm really proud of it.

Interesting side note here. I believe that John had alot of good ole middle-class resentment for the "elite" as well as the class structure as it existed in Britian at the time. Does anybody remember his "rattle your jewelry" remark and how well it played to his audience?
