Have you ever wondered what your teachers listen to? If Mrs. Hawkesworth rocks out to hip-hop on the way to work? Or if, beneath that unsuspecting aura, Dr. Mecca jams out to reggae? In this new feature, “Mustang Mixes,” we’ll bring you a bit closer to your teachers through their choice in music. This week: Lacrosse coach and PE teacher Courtney Gibbons.
All of Me- John Legend
“Yeah, it is special, I like the words. It’s just one of my favorite songs and he is one of my favorite artists in general but I just love the words to it,” Gibbons says.
Empire State of Mind- Jay Z ft. Alicia Keys
“I like it because I am from New York and I just think it’s like an awesome song…[Alicia Keys] is a great singer and [Jay Z] is a great rapper. I like both of them so together is great.
Yeah- Usher
“Well it’s just a fun dance song and I can break out my moves from the movie Hitch.”
PYT- Michael Jackson
“It’s just a classic and another good dance song. It’s also a good song for weddings…it’s a song I have liked for awhile and Michael Jackson is clearly awesome.”
Hey Ya- Outkast
“It remind me of college and it’s just a fun song and you can shake it like a polaroid picture.”
Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours- Stevie Wonder
“We always listen to this Stevie Wonder CD or like songs when I am up at the lake, my grandparents lake house, on the boat. the CD is a classic.”
