Can you suggest any songs in which the simple past is used as much as possible?
 
I would be very grateful if you could help me. It is for 12 year old kids. They like new pop music and groups like "Cold Play".
Thanks in advance for your help

Try "Clementine." It tells a story and the tense is Past Simple. It is an old favorite for all ages. "In a cavern, in a canyon, excavating for a mine, lived a miner, 49-er and his daughter Clementine..."

Good luck,

As they like coldplay "yellow" can be a good choice. Hope it is useful.

I �ve recently used "I �m a believer" (Smash Mouth �s Version). It �s full of simple past instances and teenagers love it.
Hope it �s useful.
Best regards,
Ana

"Who knew" by Pink is also very nice.
"Summer of 69" by Bryan Adams.

"Summer Lovin �" from the musical "Grease" may work.
