Our first song was Nirvana's "The Man Who Sold the World", actually an old song by David Bowie covered by the Seattle band in their MTV unplugged show. This gig was a surprise. Everybody was expecting the guys to play their big hits, but, instead, they came up with many unexpected and somewhat obscure covers. I think this was nice.
Expect the unexpected.
I've been using this song for years. The lyrics are smart, not very difficult to catch, in spite of Kurt Cobain's hoarse voice, and it is perfect to review Simple Past, so I always have a bingo along with the listening. After making the grid with irregular verbs, the students are supposed to get four verbs in a row. The first one to accomplish it has to raise his hand and say: "E-E-Evandro, I've bingoed it". He can say only this. I will pay no heed to things such as "I bingoed" or "Finished" or "Here".
