22 school-themed songs and cinematic clips
no one, no one, wants to start school again this year (that's actually a little bit of a lie because i'm starting a new school and i am very excited, however i know that soon enough i will eventually want to die). nonetheless, this mixtape will hopefully make starting it a little bit better. complete with songs i chose literally because of the title, and a few cinematic clips to make you chuckle, i wish you all the best for the coming academic year. (ps this mixtape is really cheesy as always) take a listen on 8tracks!
a pretty self explanatory choice if you ask me.
'send me down' is sometimes a phrase used before soldiers go into battle. which is kind of like us, being sent into the warzone that is school.
the thought of going back to school makes me want to........ (was that cheesy enough for you i hope so)
this song is about a school shooter who's reason for shooting her classmates was because she didn't like mondays. fair enough, i guess. (i'm joking, there's no reason to shoot people. peace n blessingz everyone.)
my first thought every single weekday morning sung beautifully by lianne la havas, who's debut album 'Is Your Love Big Enough?' was one of my favourite releases of last year.
a maths lesson from everyone's favourite maths teacher (sorry, jack black).
7. Math Song - from School of Rock (x)
another maths lesson from everyone's second favourite maths teacher.
8. What Makes You Beautiful (The Maths Song) - One Direction (x)
not just five very pretty faces - try to work out this maths problem sung to us in the tune of your favourite song (it is your favourite song, why are you lying?).
if busted weren't your childhood i really, really pity you??? but apparently, jonas brothers have a version of this? why are they even trying? hashtag busted massiiiivveee.
simultaneously the best and worst song in the world, but of course, i love it. also, check out british singer-songwriter frank hamilton's cover. it's very nice.
i'm gonna run away before school starts bye.
obviously, i chose this song because of the title and repetitive lyrics but also because the drumming in this is just so bloomin' awesome.
13. Somebody Kill Me - from The Wedding Singer (x)
i really, really don't want to go back to school.
okay i actually like learning but sometimes i genuinely have no interest at all. (get it? am i funny yet? no? okay.)
another example of a song i have taken too literally.
i love love love lewis' cover of city and colour's song. plus we can all relate to these lyrics at some point during our school lives: "we're all just waiting / waiting to die" ha ha ha.
17. Reverse - Gabrielle Aplin (x)
this song can mean what you want it to mean; reverse back to summer or reverse back to easier times. either way, this song is simply splendid.
at my last school there was a period of about two weeks when someone would pull the fire alarm everyday, so this song always reminds me of that time. also, the lyrics are absolutely perfect so congrats mr ed and miss amy.
one of my favourite songs of all time and also one to make me cry almost every time. it literally epitomises every girl's (and some guy's, i guess) school experience. it's songs like this that have established taylor as one of those songwriters who just gets it. this is particularly relatable to anyone starting a new school this year (me) and anyone falling in love (not me).
SCHOOL SPIRIT MOTHERFUCKKEEERRRRRRRR
:-)
the legendary song from one of my favourite classic rock bands ends this playlist perfectly. in my opinion, anyway.
