Recommended Western music for elementary school boys: world classics and popular songs

Gotta Be YouOne Direction

One Direction – Gotta Be You

It’s a One Direction number released in 2011.

In the music video, you can see the members looking fresh and still a bit innocent at the time.

It has a slow tempo and simple lyrics, making it easy enough to understand and likely helpful for junior high school English listening practice.

FirefliesOwl City

Owl City – Fireflies (Official Music Video)

If you’re a middle schooler who likes the Poppo Song, you know Owl City too, right? This track is becoming a new benchmark for pop songs, so it’s definitely not one to miss.

In those sensitive middle school years, you need pop with this level of sparkle.

White ChristmasBing Crosby

Bing Crosby – White Christmas

It’s no exaggeration to say this is the world’s second best-selling song—a global Christmas classic.

The chorus of “I’m dreaming of a white Christmas” is slow and easy, so even elementary school students can sing it without any trouble.

It’s easy to listen to and sing, making it a popular number among grade-schoolers.

MR.RAINDROPAmplified

Gintama ED 2 Full

This is one of Amplified’s signature songs, which also served as the opening theme for the anime adaptation of Gintama, a Weekly Shonen Jump manga overwhelmingly popular among elementary school students.

It’s closely tied to the anime and enjoys strong popularity with younger audiences, so it’s a highly recommended track.

LightningThe Wanted

The Wanted – Lightning

The Wanted, a boys group from Ireland that burst onto the global stage, with pop tunes that are insanely cool.

This track, with its upbeat sound that captures youthful vibes, is highly recommended.

If someone said, “Just the two of us, let’s go learn things they don’t teach in class,” I might just ditch school without a second thought.

StoryAI

AI – Story

This is the theme song from the 2014 animated film Big Hero 6.

I imagine many elementary school students have seen this movie.

There’s also a Japanese version of the song, but the English version sounds cooler, doesn’t it? The melody of the chorus is a catchy phrase that makes you want to hum along.

Someone Like YouAdele

Adele – Someone Like You (Official Music Video)

Adele’s “Someone Like You” is a poignant, mature ballad, and Matthew David Morris, who’s active as a rapper, covers it under the name MattyBRaps.

His singing ability that rivals adults and his rap cover are sure to move you.
