Hi,
I am teaching a unit that deals with addictions (drugs,food, cigarettes , etc..) I was wondering if you can recommend a song that deals with this topic.
Thanks,
Debbie

Hello Debbie!

You can also use thesong "Don �t let me get me " from Pink.
It �s about the way you see yourself, the fact that you ant to be somnone else. It �s does not directly talks about drugs, but you can use as a start point.

Hope it helps!
Ana;)

You can always use Bob Dylan"Like a rolling stone" and relate it drug addiction.
What about the movie "Chritiane F." ?

I used Rehab by Amy Winehouse and there was a lot of discussion about it because she says in the song she doesn �t want to go to Rehab... in the end she did. I also used some pictures of her before and after drug abuse. I guess it worked pretty well, they got the message!
Cheers,
Adri

What about the Dandy Worhols � �Not if you were the last junkie on earth �? There �s a video of the song on youtube, with plenty of scenes and imagery that would help to promote a discussion on the effects of drugs. The lyrics are available here http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/dandywarhols/notifyouwerethelastjunkieonearth.html
 
 This is the link for the youtube video:
