Песня про инопланетянина или одиночество?

С пятиклассниками читали текстики про инопланетян (что-то вроде домашнего чтения). Песню моя коллега предложила неожиданную. Очень заводную. Дети были в восторге. Они, конечно, поняли, что парень не инопланетянин, хоть и синий. Они прекрасно поняли, что он в плохом настроении, ему одиноко.



А вот отдельно текст -

Blue (Da Ba Dee)

Yo listen up
Here’s the story about a little guy that lives in a blue world
And all day and all night and everything he sees is just blue like him
Inside and outside
Blue his house with a blue little window and a blue corvette
And everything is blue for him and his-self
And everybody around coz he has got nobody to listen.

Im blue da ba dee da ba di
da ba dee da ba di
da ba dee da ba di
da ba dee Da ba di
da ba dee da ba di
(repeat once)

I have a blue house with a blue window
Blue is the color I thought that I'd wear
Blue are the streets and all the trees are too
I have a girlfriend and she is so blue
Blue are the people here that walk around
Blue like my corvette its standing outside
Blue are the words I say and what I think
Blue are the feelings that live inside me.

Im blue da ba dee da ba di
da ba dee da ba di
da d ba dee da ba di
da ba dee Da ba di
da ba dee da ba di
(repeat twice)

Inside and outside
Blue his house with the blue little window and a blue corvette
And everything is blue for him and his-self
And everybody around coz he has got nobody to listen.

Im blue da ba dee da ba di
da ba dee da ba di
da ba dee da ba di
da ba dee da ba di
da ba dee da ba di
(repeat once)

А вот идиомы. Тоже синие)))

A bolt from the blue.
(Гром средь ясного неба.)

Once in a blue moon.
(В кои-то веки.)

Until you are blue in the face.
(До посинения.)


Hello, I’m a very interesting and intelligent man.
And today, the colour blue and I are getting together to teach you some English idioms. I bet you’ve never been taught by the colour blue before.
Ah, such a beautiful warm day.
Urgh!
I didn’t expect this terrible weather.
In fact, it’s come as a bolt…argh… from the blue!
In… English… if something… comes as… a complete surprise… we… can say it’s… a… bolt… from… the… blue. Ahhhhh!
A bolt from the blue.
And now… an astronomy lesson.
The universe is…big.
And things happen very… slowly.
Ah, the moon. A new moon is created… not very often.
In fact, it happens once in a blue moon.
In English, if things happen extremely rarely, we can say they happen ‘once in a blue moon’. Once in a blue moon.
Like my students. They almost NEVER do their homework. In fact, they do it once in a blue moon. But they don’t really listen to me.
I say to them ‘Do your homework.’ I do, ‘Do your homework’. That’s what I tell them. ‘Do your homework.’ That’s what I say. ‘Do your homework.’
That’s right. I say it until I’m blue in the face.
In English, if we say something until we are blue in the face, we waste time and effort because we won’t get any results.
Until you are blue in the face.
Oh please do your homework.
