Summer Breeze

This song has not too difficult words and a positive message. It's a celebration of summer.

Blowin' through the <princess from Aladdin> in my mind?  Really, what's that?

Just kidding.  It's a beautiful song, but it is an extended metaphor, perhaps mainly appropriate for high school students.

And detached from any context here.

The context is the attached PPT… which can’t be seen by those without a subscription. What percentage is that?

I did it for middle school. Not the best choice? Maybe. What are some better summer songs?

In my case, 100%.

Frankly, I can't imagine giving this site money.

I really like the Type-O-Negative cover of the song.
They also did a version of it called "Summer Girl", which has been banned pretty much everywhere.  :laugh:

Anyway, here's the link if you want to listen to the metal rendition:

Too scary for kids. I listened to all the covers. The best is Johnny Mathis in my opinion. Clear slow enunciation.

Well, I mean, it's *my* favourite version. It's not something I would play for my elementary students. It's probably not great for school in general.

...unless you're trying to convert your kiddos into goths.  :laugh:

Hmm.  Their logo seems to be Type-Do Not Enter-Negative.

Or maybe Type-O-Minus-Negative.
