The Flag of the Isle on Man (in the Irish sea,  between the islands of Great Britain and Ireland)


On February 9th, 1961, The Beatles made their debut at The Cavern, the popular basement club in Liverpool, their hometown. This successful group consisted of John Lennon (rhythm guitar, vocals), Paul McCartney (bass guitar, vocals), George Harrison (lead guitar, vocals) and Ringo Starr (drums, vocals) and worked in many genres ranging from pop ballads to psychedelic rock.

The Beatles' influence on music was revolutionary and immense. The Beatles' musical innovations, as well as their commercial success, inspired and inspire, even now, musicians worldwide.

The song "Yesterday" was considered the best song of the 20th century...

Have you ever tried to illustrate a song? It´d be interesting and funny at the same time. Take on this challenge and make a doodle video. I´ve found this example on a website (EFL Classroom 2.0) and the instructions to create your own:




1. Choose a song (not a very fast song, better with repetitions)

2. Write the lyrics

3. Get drawing. Match the drawings with the lyric line. If you don´t like drawing,  you can also use landscapes, famous pictures, photographs etc

4- After you have all the pictures finished in order. take out your camera and take a photo of each.

5. Now you have the photos - upload them to your computer. Now, it is time to make the video.

6. Open up Windows Movie Maker. Click START and then select this little icon. If you have   Windows 7, WMM won't automatically be on your computer - you'll have to download and install it yourself. Go HERE.

 7. Now you will have to put the photos into WMM, add the mp3 file of the song and then "sync" or "time" them both together. Finally, "Produce" as a movie. Produce as an mp4 or Avi, these are the better quality and most sharable formats.

Get inspired and just do it!!
A lively song for today...



A good friend of mine, told me that perhaps you´d like this film: The Breakfast Club.  The plot is about five students at a high School in USA who spend a Saturday in detention together in the library, where they are ordered not to speak or move from their seats by the Principal. They have to remain there for eight hours and fifty-four minutes and write an essay about who he or she thinks they are. Gradually they  will open up to each other and  realize that they are all deeper than their respective stereotypes.
Interesting, isn´t  it? Pay attention to the background music, by Simple Minds ;)





Don't You Forget About Me (Simple Minds)

Hey, hey, hey ,hey
Ohhh...
Won't you come see about me?
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby
Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving me everything inside and out and
Love's strange so real in the dark
Think of the tender things that we were working on
Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets into your heart, baby
Don't You Forget About Me
Don't Don't Don't Don't
Don't You Forget About Me
Will you stand above me?
Look my way, never love me
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down
Will you recognise me?
Call my name or walk on by
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down, down
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ohhhh.....
Don't you try to pretend
It's my feeling we'll win in the end
I won't harm you or touch your defenses
Vanity and security
Don't you forget about me
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby
Going to take you apart
I'll put us back together at heart, baby
Don't You Forget About Me
Don't Don't Don't Don't
Don't You Forget About Me
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
When you walk away
Or will you walk away?
Will you walk on by?
Come on - call my name
Will you all my name?
I say :
La la la...
Ingredients:



•4 large, fresh eggs, measured in a jug
•Equal quantity of milk to eggs
•Equal quantity of all purpose/plain flour to eggs
•Pinch of salt
•2 tbsp lard, beef dripping or vegetable oil

Preparation:

•Heat the oven to the highest temperature possible, however, do not exceed 450F/230C or the fat may burn.
•Pour the eggs and milk into a large mixing bowl and add the pinch of salt. Whisk thoroughly with an electric hand beater or hand whisk. Leave to stand for 10 minutes.
•Gradually sieve the same volume of flour (as the eggs) into the milk and egg mixture, again using an electric hand beater or hand-whisk to create a lump free batter resembling thick cream, if there are any lumps pass the batter through a fine sieve.
•Leave the batter to rest in the kitchen for a minimum of 30 minutes, longer if possible - up to several hours.
Today I have an easy and funny song that plays with words, guys. Do you have a perfect friend or love, a soulmate? If so, lucky you. Congratulations!!!!. Auburn also has, and she sings like this...

SHE CALLS OUT TO THE MAN ON THE STREET
"SIR, CAN YOU HELP ME?
IT´S COLD AND I´VE NOWHERE TO SLEEP,
IS THERE SOMEWHERE YOU CAN TELL ME?"


HE WALKS ON, DOESN´T LOOK BACK
HE PRETENDS HE CAN´T HEAR HER
STARTS TO WHISTLE AS HE CROSSES THE STREET
SEEMS EMBARRASSED TO BE THERE


OH THINK TWICE, IT´S ANOTHER DAY FOR
YOU AND ME IN PARADISE
OH THINK TWICE, IT´S JUST ANOTHER DAY FOR YOU,
YOU AND ME IN PARADISE


SHE CALLS OUT TO THE MAN ON THE STREET
HE CAN SEE SHE´S BEEN CRYING
SHE´S GOT BLISTERS ON THE SOLES OF HER FEET
CAN´T WALK BUT SHE´S TRYING


OH THINK TWICE, IT´S ANOTHER DAY FOR
YOU AND ME IN PARADISE
OH THINK TWICE, IT´S JUST ANOTHER DAY FOR YOU,
YOU AND ME IN PARADISE


OH LORD, IS THERE NOTHING MORE ANYBODY CAN DO
OH LORD, THERE MUST BE SOMETHING YOU CAN SAY


YOU CAN TELL FROM THE LINES ON HER FACE
YOU CAN SEE THAT SHE´S BEEN THERE
PROBABLY BEEN MOVED ON FROM EVERY PLACE
´COS SHE DIDN´T FIT IN THERE


OH THINK TWICE, IT´S ANOTHER DAY FOR
YOU AND ME IN PARADISE
OH THINK TWICE, IT´S JUST ANOTHER DAY FOR YOU,
YOU AND ME IN PARADISE
........................................................................................


ELLA LLAMA AL HOMBRE EN LA CALLE
´SEÑOR, ¿PUEDE AYUDARME?
HACE FRÍO Y NO TENGO LUGAR DONDE DORMIR
¿PUEDE RECOMENDARME ALGÚN LUGAR?´


ÉL SIGUE CAMINANDO, NO MIRA ATRÁS
SIMULA NO PODER OÍRLA
COMIENZA A SILBAR MIENTRAS CRUZA LA CALLE
PARECE AVERGONZARSE DE ESTAR ALLÍ


PIÉNSALO DOS VECES, ES OTRO DÍA PARA
TI Y PARA MI EN EL PARAÍSO
 PIÉNSALO DOS VECES, ES OTRO DÍA PARA TI,
PARA TI Y PARA MI EN EL PARAÍSO


ELLA LLAMA AL HOMBRE EN LA CALLE
ÉL PUEDE VER QUE ELLA HA ESTADO LLORANDO
ELLA TIENE AMPOLLAS EN LAS PLANTAS DE SUS PIES
NO PUEDE CAMINAR PERO LO ESTÁ INTENTANDO


PIÉNSALO DOS VECES, ES OTRO DÍA PARA
TI Y PARA MI EN EL PARAÍSO
OH, PIÉNSALO DOS VECES, ES OTRO DÍA PARA TI,
PARA TI Y PARA MI EN EL PARAÍSO


OH SEÑOR, ¿NO HAY NADA MÁS QUE ALGUIEN PUEDA HACER?
OH SEÑOR, DEBE HABER ALGO QUE PUEDAS DECIR


PUEDES DECIRLO POR LOS RASGOS DE SU CARA
PUEDES VER QUE ELLA ESTUVO ALLÍ
PROBABLEMENTE HA SIDO ECHADA DE TODOS LADOS
PORQUE ELLA NO ENCAJABA ALLÍ


OH, PIÉNSALO DOS VECES, ES OTRO DÍA PARA
TI Y PARA MI EN EL PARAÍSO
OH, PIÉNSALO DOS VECES, ES OTRO DÍA PARA TI,
PARA TI Y PARA MI EN EL PARAÍSO




 "Only Girl"

Cuz I'm the only one who understands how to make you feel like a man
Want you to make me feel like I'm the only girl in the world
Like I'm the only one that you'll ever love
Like I'm the only one who knows your heart

Want you to take me like a thief in the night
Hold me like a pillow, make me feel right
Baby I'll tell you all my secrets that I'm keepin', you can come inside
And when you enter, you ain't leavin', be my prisoner for the night


[CHORUS]
Want you to make me feel like I'm the only girl in the world
Like I'm the only one that you'll ever love
Like I'm the only one who knows your heart
Only girl in the world...
Like I'm the only one that's in command
Cuz I'm the only one who understands, like I'm the only one who knows your heart, only one...


Take me for a ride
Oh baby, take me high

Oh make it last all night
Take me for a ride
Oh baby, take me high
Let me make you first
Make it last all night


[CHORUS]
Want you to make me feel like I'm the only girl in the world
Like I'm the only one that you'll ever love
Like I'm the only one who knows your heart
Only girl in the world...
Like I'm the only one that's in command
Cuz I'm the only one who understands how to make you feel like a man
Only girl in the world...
Girl in the world...
Only girl in the world...
Girl in the world...
