Mad About Books

“I know not all that may be coming, but be it what it will, I'll go to it laughing.”

For Music Monday, a book-loving video that is close to home. This was made by some students at my older daughter's school and features one of her favorite teachers. It's a parody of Captain Jack Sparrow, where Michael Bolton incongruously sings about Pirates of the Caribbean during a song about a nightclub. In this case, though, Mr. Hitchens (Captain Ahab) extolls the virtues of literature in the middle of a calculus study session. In addition to Moby Dick, he sings about Of Mice and Men and Lord of the Flies. There's even a mention of Shakespeare:



From another local school: math videos with 2 Pi, the rapping teacher.

  1. This is PRICELESS! I had so much fun watching I ran it twice, Tabatha. Aren't high school kids just the best! So much enthusiasm and energy-makes me happy to see. I just saw a former student a couple of weeks ago in their school musical, loved it. There are some talented kids at your daughter's school! Thanks!
