I need some entrance/exit music for assembly tomorrow. The theme is 'going for goals' and I'm going to do a Guinness World Records type thing, with the children attempting to beat some 'records' I set for them, with discussionafterwards about what they could do if their goal is too hard (e.g. ask a friend to help, practise etc.), and about setting realistic goals. I want to use Cocoon as it's not really got any lyrics and it's a motivitating song (I think, but then I am biased). However, I'm aware it was the theme song to show aired at 2am about clubbers. How bad was the show? Do you think it would be acceptable to play the song in a school? (I know they will have never heard of the show, but some of the other teachers might have). Thank you!
I was on Hitman and Her back in 1990 with Pete Waterman and Michaela Strachan and Wiggy in the Palace nightclub Blackpool.
The show was presented by Michaela Strachan, who now appears regularly on our TV screens in a variety of family shows. Don't see a problem at all. Go for it.
After a ton of personal probs - anorexia etc - Michaela's become one the nation's top wildlife broadcasters, with a very human and involving touch. As seen in Orang-utan Diary, earlier tonight on Beeb 4. Essential telly.
Thanks everyone, I'm going to go for it! I hate assemblies, so really it will be a secret motivational boost for me! The only problem might be that I won't want to stop it until it ends haha.
If that's not appropriate there's this great motivational track called "White Lines" by Grandmaster Melle Mel which would really get the kids going
Now now Jam Drop, remember you are a useless, waste of space, money grabbing, under performing, left wing teacher. Don't go trying to do all that there inspirational educational kind of thing, the kids might just like it and get some benefit from it, now that would be against every thing you stand for. For Gods sake woman man up, conform to what the government portray you as.
