:help:hello there.. i have a school project i have to do where im supposed to choose a song from a long time ago.. im not exactly sure how far back the song has to date, but i know its supposed to be pretty dang old (but my teachers pretty flexible so im not worried about specifics..). well the assignment is to pick a song that has historical meaning or significance that relates to the time period or certain events that were happening at the time and explain its significance to the time and/or time it reflected. i dont know what to research and have no idea what song to do.. any ideas?? ex: goodnight saigon by billy joel was what i wanted to do, but another student is already doing it, though my teacher said he would prefer and older one then that.
