School’s out for a summer holiday

Jim Riley

A few weeks ago I found myself humming Cliff Richard’s timeless classic (?) ‘Summer Holiday’ and realised there’s actually quite a lot of Economics in the lyrics, so for the last lesson before the summer I printed out the lyrics and found a youtube clip and we tried to find as many links as we possibly could. We also did the same with ‘Schools out’by Alice Cooper which proved equally amusing.
