Kids Wanna Rock

Lesson B Let’s Go Shopping!


The Background of the Song

The idea for “Kids Wanna Rock” began one summer night in 1984 at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver, where Bryan and I and my wife Rachel had gone to see a performance by Thomas Dolby. With all the electronic sounds and robotic posturing, we found the performance to be somewhat lacking emotionally. Unable to endure another “sine-wave”, twenty minutes into the concert we quietly slipped out of the theatre and went up the street for a bite to eat. While discussing the Dolby performance over dinner, one of us remarked how, really, the kids just “wanna rock”. We wrote most of “Kids Wanna Rock” the next day. We based the song on another idea we’d been developing. Just as Paul McCartney used “Scrambled Eggs” as a temporary title for “Yesterday”, Bryan and I had a temporary lyric before we settled on “Kids Wanna Rock”. Instead of “Around the world or around the block, everywhere I go the kids wanna rock”, we had “What’s Sir Lew Grade got against me, I can’t get my songs on the BBC” ... an accurate reflection of Bryan’s inability at the time to get airplay on UK radio.

Turned on the radioSounded like a discoMusta turned the dial for a couple of milesBut I couldn’t find no rock and rollThis computerized crap ain’t getting me offEverywhere I go the kids wanna rock

Kick down the barricadesListen what the kids sayFrom time to time people change their mindsBut the music is here to stayI’ve seen it all from the bottom to the topEverywhere I go the kids wanna rock


Around the world or around the blockEverywhere I go the kids wanna rock

Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock


Supermarket Items

Department Stores

Department stores in different countries vary widely. In some countries, suchas Japan, shoppers can still find nearly everything needed for daily life in this Store. In the U.S., department stores now sell mainly clothing and shoes for Children and adults, cosmetics （化妆品） , and some furniture and kitchen equipment. They do not sell food or small items like stationery, which people usually buy in supermarkets or large self-service （自助） discount stores.


Discussion

Some people dislike going shopping, and prefer buying things on the Internet. With the class, discuss the advantages and disadvantages of both ways of buying things.

Garage Sale 庭院售物

Garage sales are very common in all parts of the U.S. Weekend newspaper in cities and towns have many classified ads for garage sales-also called yard sales-in both wealthy and poor neighborhoods. Middle-class Americans are not embarrassed to be seen shopping at garage sales, though they might not admit to their friend that theirnew coat or table actually came from one. People hold garage sales to get rid of possessions that they don’t use often, in order to earn extra money and make more space in their homes. Often they fill up this space again with irresistible items they’ve brought home from other people’s garage sales!
