This appeared on a message board for elementary general music teachers:
[…]I am hoping people can help me to locate some songs about the following:
[…]
Costume Holidays (Halloween, although more about dressing up than ghosts and goblins, Mardi Gras – I’d love a song related to that!)
[How about the De Profundis?]
Independance Days (anything other than American)
[Of course.]
[…]
Feasts (Thanksgiving, Ramadan/Eid – I can’t find Ramadan music anywhere!)
[There’s a reason for that.]
What would a Ramadan song for elementary school be _like_?
“It’s Ramadan already
So breakfast will be late.
‘Cause I can’t sup till the moon comes up
And we break our fast with dates.
It’s Ramadan already.
Don’t remind me I can’t munch
With a stupid song that gets the facts all wrong.
Wonder how I’ll last through lunch?”
Yes! Now come up with one for Tet…
Hello, If you still need a song about Ramadan or Eid, I can help you. Email me Please. Happy Halloween!
