Nice idea, although depending on the ages of the students, I would personally be prepared for some 'interesting' replacement lyrics!

I'd like to hear his dad take the piss out of it. It's awful whoever does it.

Has Jeff Buckley's "Hallelujah" raised it's pretty little head yet?

How much does George Harrisons' son look like his old man?
Re: Covered songs better than the original.
I saw him at Wembley Arena (not performing) earlier this year. He was walking very stiffly with a walking stick after an accident in 2024. Hopefully he'll be making a full recovery.
