M.U.S.I.C.'s
Song Directory
About the Directory:
This directory references
over 3,000 songs that may be incorporated into school lessons and activities.
The songs are arranged alphabetically by title. There is an explanatory passage
following each entry identifying literary, historical, political, and/or social
reference(s) contained in the song. For each entry we identify the artist/group
who sings the work, in many cases this is not the person who wrote the song.
Many of the entries also include underlined and/or highlighted words and
phrases. These are links that will take you to sites with additional or
related information about the song topic(s) and/or the artist.
