イントロ
Hi, I’m Sarah. Welcome to The Daily English Show.
Today’s song is Opposites Attract by Paula Abdul.
This song came out in 1989, so it brings back a lot of memories for me.

I think this song is a great song for studying English because it’s like studying a list of opposites.
The song is about a couple who love each other even though they are very different.
Here are some of the lyrics:
You like the movies
And I like TV
I take things serious
And you take 'em light
I go to bed early
And I party all night
She makes the bed
And he steals the covers
She likes it neat
And he makes a mess
I take it easy
Baby I get obsessed
She's got the money
And he's always broke
I don't like cigarettes
And I like to smoke

Kana
What else does she sing?
他にどんな歌、歌ってるの?
Sarah
Straight Up, Rush Rush, Promise Of A New Day, Blowing Kisses In The Wind – I used to love those songs. Classic 80s songs ... or maybe early 90s, actually.
『Straight Up』、『Rush Rush』、『Promise Of A New Day』、『Blowing Kisses In The Wind』とかが大好きだった。 クラッシックな80sか90年代初期の曲。
Kana
Does she still sing?
この人、まだ歌ってるの?
Sarah
I think she mainly does TV presenting these days, but she released a song recently.
今はTVプレゼンターが主な仕事らしいけど最近、新曲をリリースしたみたいだよ。
サラのメモ:
Study idea: try writing a song or poem following the same pattern, but with different lyrics.
Teaching idea: Get students to work in pairs. First have them find out things they don't have in common (by asking each other in English) then write a song or poem.
knfの独り言:
この曲、懐かしいな〜
当時は意味も分からなく口ずさんでいたけど、こんな歌詞だったのね。。。
