Zombie Jamboree!

Jun 13, 2007 21:59

One of my favorite songs - Rockapella did the version I heard first, then I learned that the Kingston Trio had done it on one of their early albums so we got that as well.

Back to back
Belly to belly
I don't give a damn 'cause I'm stone dead already, oh--
Back to Back
Belly to belly
It's a Zombie Jamboree!

Anyway, what reminded me of that? Oh, yeah, my students today. I often complain that my early-morning class is JUST DEAD, but you should've seen the afternoon section! At least they got the difference between John Stuart Mill and Jeremy Bentham - I asked them and they said in unison, "BRAINS!" Which is, I suppose, a somewhat unsophisticated way of saying that JSM made the clear distinction between intellectual and physical pleasure, but hey, it was the first enthusiasm they showed all class period.

music, zombies, academia
