Second conditional songs suitable for teenage boys and girls

Posted by tinyteachinthemaking · January 30, 2011 · 1 replies

Hey all!
I posted a message on the forum yesterday regarding some suggestions on teaching the second conditional.
I have more or less planned how to do it but I need a song that illustrates the point to close the lesson.
Based on my internet search, If I were a boy by Beyoncé seems a very popular song choice for this grammar point.
My question is, would it work well with teenage boys too?
What are other song options that would work well for both classes? I'm looking for non-cringe worthy songs (No Bare Naked Ladies!)
Thanks in advance.

If I were a Boy by Beyonce.

This might have the double effect of teaching them some gender roles and/or stereotypes.
