Being cool. I used "Pretty Fly for a White Guy" by Offspring to give them a break from grammar. I asked them to find out what the text was about and they did. We then had a discussion about what makes a person "cool" and it was agreed that I was too old to be "cool" (33 years). I allowed them to listen to the rest of the CD while they sat working with verb exercises and my did they work. Pretty Fly (For A White Guy) by Offspring From the album Americana You know it's kind of hard Just to get along today Our subject isn't cool But he fakes it anyway He may not have a clue And he may not have style But everything he lacks Well he makes up in denial So don't debate, a player straight You know he really doesn't get it anyway He's gonna play the field, and keep it real For you no way, for you no way So if you don't rate, just overcompensate At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake The world needs wannabe's So do that brand new thing He needs some cool tunes Not just any will suffice But they didn't have Ice Cube So he bought Vanilla Ice Now cruising in his Pinto, he sees homies as he pass But if he looks twice They're gonna kick his lily ass Now he's getting a tattoo He's gettin' ink done He asked for a '13', but they drew a '31' Friends say he's trying too hard And he's not quite hip But in his own mind He's the dopest trip So don't debate, a player straight You know he really doesn't get it anyway He's gonna play the field, and keep it real For you no way, for you no way So if you don't rate, just overcompensate At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake The world needs wannabe's The world loves wannabe's So let's get some more wannabe's And do that brand new thing
