His a...Thank you for the Brehony (1998) suggestion. His article suggests so many new lines to look at. It would be interesting to see how music of the last fifteen years relates to his analysis, and also to explore the impact of online music sharing platforms with popular engagement with such records of the past. The latter line of interest arising particularly in relation to Brehony's claim: "Since the 1950s, each subsequent generation of youth in the UK has made the transition from childhood to adulthood accompanied by a pop soundtrack. Once it was more or less unique to that generation. Now... the re-release of a song means that it becomes available to another generation of youth who produce their own reading of it, regardless of its author's intentions or the context in which it was first located." (p.131)<br /><br />I've add Van Halen's 'Hot for Teacher' to the U.S. platlist, (including Beastie Boys) above - makes for great comparison with Doris Day's 'Teacher's Pet'. <br /><br />Thanks, CharlotteCharlotte Rochezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14594686449443191861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108830693672360039.post-61635899310896414652014-07-19T12:06:20.454-07:002014-07-19T12:06:20.454-07:00One that comes to mind from the US context is Van ...One that comes to mind from the US context is Van Halen's 'Hot for Teacher' (1983), whose lyrics - and video (in relatively early days of music video) presented a radically different view of school (and teachers!) compared to many others (see those explored by KJ Brehony in the British context, see Brehony (1998) 'I used to get mad at my school. Representations of schooling in rock and pop music,' Brit Jnl. Sociology of Education 19, no. 1. http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/0142569980190107#.U8rA64CSxGU). Another one from my own youth (dating myself here) is The Beastie Boys' '(You gotta) Fight for your right (to Party)' - I think from 1986?- ) was more in line with the leisure/school dichotomy Brehony found more generally.K.D.Nawrotzkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09491604891961324694noreply@blogger.com
