    Default Songs to use in my Italian classes

    I teach Italian in high school and I like to use current Italian songs in my classroom. In the past, I've used "Invece No", "Meraviglioso", "Mezzogiorno"...really any type of music. Could you guys help me think of some new songs to use? They can be any genre of music, but have to be appropriate for class (no swearing!)

    Thanks for your help!

    I wish you were my Italian teacher!

    Using the music in class sounds like a great idea.

    As for song suggestions, since you mentioned Mezzogiorno earlier, why not use Fango?

    I think it's a great song with great lyrics.

    Io lo so che non sono solo, anche quando sono solo

    And Ben Harper does great guitar work on this track.

    This is a great list.

    I love La Voglia Che Non Vorrei; I've been playing it nonstop.

    In fact, that song is what inspired me to register for this forum, as I am trying to look for translations for it.
