Lyric Substitutions!!
Hello!
I have a student who wants to sing Zombie by the Cranberries for talent show, but we need to obviously change the lyrics that mention weapons as we cannot sing in school. I work with K-12 students so not sure if it’s appropriate at all to sing but wanted to get some advice!
Does anyone have any suggestions?? Also, what is your rule of thumb for changing lyrics to make songs school appropriate?
Editing to add: I totally agree with what everyone is saying - this was kind of just a last ditch effort to see if there was a way as she really wants to do it but I’ll ask our principal. Thank you!! ☺️
TIA!!!
