I don't think that means what you think it does...

No creo que eso signifique lo que crees que hace ...

Many times we sing songs without really knowing what they mean.  Seriously, who has time to LOOK at the lyrics of a song and REALLY think about them?  Let's start out easy...

​Muchas veces cantamos canciones sin saber realmente lo que significan. En serio, ¿quién tiene tiempo para mirar la letra de una canción y REALMENTE pensar en ellas? Comencemos fácil ...

​"Yankee Doodle went to town,
riding on a pony.
Stuck a feather in his hat
and called It macaroni!"

Seems simple, right?  It's a fun song that we sing on the 4th of July to celebrate America.  But that's not the real story...

​Parece simple, ¿verdad? Es una canción divertida que cantamos el 4 de julio para celebrar América. Pero esa no es la historia real ...

Listen to this part of a song by Stevie Wonder called "Happy Birthday"

​Escucha esta parte de una canción de Stevie Wonder llamada "Happy Birthday"

"Happy birthday to ya
Happy birthday to ya
​Happy birthday!"

That seems pretty straight forward, but that wasn't just a song to celebrate just anyone's birthday.  Stevie Wonder wrote this song to encourage the passing of a bill that would give Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr his own holiday, to be celebrated at his birthday.  At first only a few states celebrated Martin Luther King Day.  Finally in 1986, eighteen years after being proposed, MLK Day was celebrated as a national holiday.  Thanks to Stevie Wonder for fighting for this national day of remembrance!

​Eso parece bastante sencillo, pero esa no era solo una canción para celebrar el cumpleaños de cualquiera. Stevie Wonder escribió esta canción para alentar la aprobación de un proyecto de ley que le daría al Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr sus propias vacaciones, para celebrarlo en su cumpleaños. Al principio, solo unos pocos estados celebraban el Día de Martin Luther King. Finalmente, en 1986, dieciocho años después de ser propuesto, el Día MLK se celebró como una fiesta nacional. ¡Gracias a Stevie Wonder por luchar por este día nacional de recuerdo!

And finally, a song that we worked on at school, "The Old Carrion Crow". 
​Remember how we talked about this song possibly having two meanings.  

Y finalmente, una canción en la que trabajamos en la escuela, "The Old Carrion Crow".
Recuerda cómo hablamos sobre esta canción que posiblemente tenga dos significados.
