Hi, I'm recording this video so that you can see an example of what a lyrics analysis presentation 00:00:00
can look like, and also the question paper that you need to write and give out to your 00:00:07
classmates. 00:00:13
So first up is the question paper. 00:00:20
This is about the song that I'm going to analyze in this video. 00:00:22
You can see that I came up with 12 different questions. 00:00:27
Some of them are multiple choice, some of them are a fill-in-the-gap, and some of them 00:00:30
are short answer. 00:00:36
My question 2 is a short answer. 00:00:37
You need to have this designed before you start the presentation. 00:00:41
I suggest that you send it to my email, and I can have the copies made for your classmates. 00:00:44
And it's important for you not only to include questions about things that are written and 00:00:55
that your classmates can read on the screen, but also things that you talk about but don't 00:00:59
necessarily write down, because you want them to be listening to you. 00:01:04
So this is the song that I'm going to analyze, American Pie, by Don McLean. 00:01:10
It has nothing to do with the movies of American Pie. 00:01:14
I talked about this with Sydney, and this song could probably be an entire unit of class, 00:01:19
just trying to analyze the lyrics. 00:01:25
But in questions of time, I'm only going to talk a little bit about the singer, and only 00:01:27
the first three stanzas and the chorus. 00:01:32
So first, some information about the singer. 00:01:37
His name was, well, is, because he's not dead yet, Don McLean. 00:01:40
He was born in 1949 in New York, and he grew up there and in California. 00:01:44
He was very heavily inspired by the music of his generation. 00:01:51
In fact, the song that I'm going to analyze is about music and how it inspired him. 00:01:55
His big hit is the one I'm going to analyze, but he had another big hit called Vincent 00:02:01
that was about Vincent Van Gogh. 00:02:06
And this is something I just learned recently, but the song Killing Me Softly with his song, 00:02:09
which I'm sure that you've heard, whether you know it or not, was actually written about 00:02:15
him, because the singer of that song saw him performing in concert, and she wrote this 00:02:20
song about him. 00:02:25
Then it was also done by Roberta Flack, and later in the 90s by Lauryn Hill and the Fugees. 00:02:26
And the song in question here is American Pie. 00:02:33
He wrote it in the late 60s and released it in 71. 00:02:37
It went to number one almost immediately in many different countries, which is really 00:02:41
surprising because it's almost nine minutes long, and it's pretty difficult for a song 00:02:45
to be on the radio for nine straight minutes. 00:02:51
It was the longest song to be number one for several decades, until a song by Taylor Swift 00:02:53
