‘hey teacher, leave us kids alone’ ???’
lol that’ll teach them.
Or Alice Cooper’s “School’s Out.”
At least ONE parent complained? The tyranny of the minority.
hell if they really wanted to ban it, a reference to beelzebub would make it a ‘church and state’ no-no...
It’s rare for a student chorus at that level to be good enough to pick up a complex vocal piece by ear. I’m pretty sure the choral department bought sheet music for it.
I attended a graduation, in the last couple of decades, where the valedictorian invoked the name of Jesus. ‘course this was in the backwoods state of K— . Ad maiorem Dei gloriam.
LOL! I suppose I was that age when up at the cabin, would walk down to the bar/store and get some penny candy every day and hang out. I don’t recall the music, but I loved hanging out with the old drunk indians!
"Wasilla! No, we will not let you go
(Let him go!) Wasilla! We will not let you go"
“Incidentally the word jazz itself was once a slang term, regarded as naughty, for “having sex.”
Same as Rock and Roll - a euphemism for having sex.
Funk is supposed to be the smell of having sex (Ewww).
Mel
Pssst. I heard that Palin, as mayor of Wasilla, wanted to ban certain books! Those Wasillanianites are all the same.
True enough, though there would need to be a choral version in print on the market for them to do it.
So you think you can stop me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?

‘School’s Out’ - Alice Cooper
‘Another Brick in the Wall’ - Pink Floyd
‘Itchycoo Park’ - Small Faces
‘Jeremy’ - Pearl Jam
‘Smoking in the Boy’s Room’ - whoever
etc.
Call me a prude, but I think mixing sex into rock(-and-roll) obscures its most intriguing musical qualities. I guess that’s one virtue of being a life long bachelor, everything isn’t seen through the lens of sex, sex, sex.
Nobody can do it like Freddy could.
So, the story is that they didn’t ban the song.
bing bing bing....what other one horse town, 4,000 miles away from DC will they run local news about next?
This is just Wasilliness.
Yeah, there was a little brouhaha and they did a slightly bowdlerized version. But it’s SARAH PALIN’S TOWN, Y’ALL HEAR?!?!? THAT BACKWARDS HICK HUSSY!!! (/barf)
