Last week I shared a song that talked about all the fun we can have at school. This week I break down the specific tools we use to learn. “School Tools” is a very basic song that mentions pencil, markers, backpack, chair, folder, and desk. The simple melody can make this song a great tool …

The late ’90′s wouldn’t have been complete for me without the Backstreet Boys. I was obsessed with them, and actually attended a concert of theirs in Iowa City. I was in seventh grade, and my mom surprised me with tickets after school on the day of the concert! When I was searching for a song …

Today’s song is a rewrite of the classic 1982 hit, 8675309/Jenny by Tommy Tutone. I love the original, but …
