This blog is surely something out of the ordinary! Each blog posting is of song lyrics that teach economic principles. Each post has a selection from the lyrics and an assignment for students or individuals to do. The lyrics are both in written form and you can listen to them. Search through for your favorite artist and see if they have been featured yet! You can search thought the entries by musical genre or topic area covered.
You really won’t ever listen to song lyrics in the same way again!
If you’re wondering how this method has been received by the academic community, the site was accepted for publication in the Journal of Economic Education.

A personal favorite is “Thousands are Sailing by The Pogues” posted by Joshua Hall about the effects of immigration on both host and home countries. Check it out!
