Act 7
Life … the time for the living to live. One’s life starts when one is born. Shortly thereafter, we are given something that stays with us no matter where we go – a name. Immediately, we are nourished, so we grow physically, mentally, and emotionally from babies into young children … and that’s when we start to dream about our future life. Growth never stops, so from children we move on as teens .. but school is still much of life at this point. Act 7 is about school, so subject songs must have any of the following words in the song title: School, Teacher, Student, College, a specific grade level (be careful), and compound words containing school.

Production Note
To prevent browsers crashing from loading too many videos, please 1) no duplicates, 2) include the song title and artist in your text, and 3) paste the URL as part of your last line (not a new line). The latter will provide a link, thus not embed the actual video … but I don’t mind unembedding, so apologies are not necessary.

Announcement
Ladies and gentlemen, this one will take you back to the early days of television and rock ‘n roll. As a matter of fact, our opening performer even brought his parents to tonight’s show. Let’s give a big welcome to Ricky Nelson singing Waitin’ in School.
