Top 10 Back to School Songs

by Nicki on September 9, 2010

Granted a few of these feature some rebellious school spirit, but I wouldn’t have my rock’n’roll any other way. These songs will surely give you that much needed pep in your step on your way to class…

1. “Another Brick in the Wall (Part II)” Pink Floyd

We don’t need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom

2. “ABC” Jackson 5

Sit yourself down, take a seat
All you gotta do is repeat after me.

3. “Fight For Your Right” Beastie Boys

You wake up late for school man you don’t wanna go
You ask you mom, “Please?” but she still says, “No!”

4. “Wonderful World” Sam Cooke

Don’t know much about a science book
Don’t know much about the French I took

5. “Me & Julio Down By the Schoolyard” Paul Simon

The papa said “Oy, if I get that boy
I’m gonna stick him in the house of detention”

6. “School Spirit” Kanye West

Told ‘em I finished school, and I started my own business
They say, ‘Oh you graduated?’
No, I decided I was finished

7. “Smokin in the Boys Room” Motley Crue

Checkin’ out the halls makin’ sure the coast is clear
Lookin’ in the stalls nah, there ain’t nobody here

8. “Never Miss A Beat” Kaiser Chiefs

What did you learn at school?
I didn’t go
Why didn’t you go to school?
I don’t know

9. “Be True To Your School” The Beach Boys

When I cruise around
The other parts of the town
I got my decal in back

10. “Hot For Teacher” Van Halen

I think of all the education that I’ve missed
But then my homework was never quite like this!
