After watching the video, share what you thought with someone or use this discussion thread to share what you thought with the class. Be sure to start your opinion with "I like the song because..." or "I don't like the song because...." and give a reason why you liked or didn't like the song. Remember some of reasons we have talked about for why you may or may not like a song:

- the lyrics - the beat

- the instruments used - the way the song makes you feel
