I'm sitting here listening to my mom play her music in the background, and it's playing my high school math teacher's favorite song: "Golden City."
One year, he promised no homework for one class period to the class that brought him that song on CD. One of my classmates took him up on that, and my teacher spent the entire class period playing that song on repeat.
By the end of class, we could all sing along.
The rest of that year, he'd play that song often throughout his classes. We all got used to it, and some probably got a little sick of it.
Me, I just kind of went along with it. I liked the tune and what I could hear of the lyrics. It probably wouldn't have made my list of favorite songs, but I had no complaints to my teacher playing it so often.
Then the next year, and the next. I don't think I ever heard him play that song even a dozens times in all, especially my senior year. What happened?
I have no clue. He claimed that he still played it often, but those times just happened to be in other classes.
Hmmm... I should ask my brother, who still has that teacher for math, if that teacher ever plays that song in his class...
