I ain’t ‘fraid a no ghosts
Today a student asked me if I’d ever heard of the song “Ghostbusters”. Of course I started singing it to show to her that I did indeed know Ghostbuster very well. Trying to make a connection with me she says, “Yeah, I like to listen to old fashioned songs a lot, too.”
WHAT?!?! Since when is Ghostbusters of all things “old fashioned”?!
I couldn’t help but laugh out loud. And then told the entire class “It’s not that old. It is from a movie in the 80’s”.
Another student chimed in, “Yeah (as in duh, teacher!), that’s oooollld! It was then that I decided to refrain from telling them that my best friend and I enjoy doing karaoke to it.
Ugh. I used to joke about the day songs I like would be played on the “oldies” station. Sigh.
