Andrew Hall hallawayjoe@hotmail.com Stuck in your head: Song Dive: a world of pop lyrics We will discuss song lyrics from popular music of the twentieth century up to current era. From Broadway, jazz, rock, to Dylan to rap popular music has defined or accompanied our lives. While the music is often the main focus, we are going to focus on the lyrics. We shall look at the words of favorite songs and delve into their meanings. I will choose some songs to look at, and students are also encouraged to bring in or suggest songs to discuss. We will listen to songs from many genres and styles, snippets or in full. Students are also welcome to bring their own lyrical/ musical/ artistic contributions.
