Boys and girls

[Scarlett]

I have to teach a singing module at college and have a group of 30- mainly boys and a few girls. I need some ideas of songs we could sing- pop/rock/musicals. Any that feature both voices, and are "cool" enough for a bunch of goth 17 year olds!!!

Many thanks for any ideas!!

Hmm, something out of The Rocky Horror Show?  Thats the only musical thing I can think of that might appeal just to the gothic quircky side of their personalities.  Plus it's fun and most songs are about sex, a surefire winner for teenagers ;)

Or maybe you could use some songs from Once More With Feeling, the musical episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, check online for lyrics, you can buy the episode by itself for about �10 and theres a cd of the songs too.  Its fun and has a a few different styles of singing in it.  Good Luck, sounds like a fun course :)

How about "Space Oddity" by David Bowie.

In essence it has two major parts. One the spaceman (Major Tom) and two the ground control. There is also the 10-1 countdown at the beginning.

Regarding "coolness". Well, number 9 in 1969, number 1 in 1975 and the B-side to Ashes to Ashes (also number 1) in 1981. Further Bowie has to be the coolest guy ever!!!!

What about the songs from the film, grease, although not sure they would be considered ''cool''

Piper. Hi! I would not want to ask them for ideas yet, since I am the teacher and am supposed to know what I am doing! Plus if I ask them, they will think they can always choose what they want to do, which is not the case!!

Brian & Micheal : Matchstalk men, not very 'cool' but it would sure as hell be funny !
