Songs about school - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Mr_Meat · 01-23-2005, 04:29 PM

I am trying to compile list of songs about going to school. Ones like:
Another Brick in the Wall (Pink Floyd), Hot for Teacher (Van Halen), Schools Out (Alice Cooper), Schools Days (Chuck Barry), even Smokin in the Boy's Room (Motley Crue). With a large enough list, I will be able to make a CD for teachers to play as they get ready for a new year or close out an old one. Any suggestions?

Gotta get that one. One of my favorite songs, and a really good "school" song. Excellent choice!
