Videos should be fond memories for you, Matt.
Not sure about the song selections there, British rock tunes. You do remember Samoa was a former British colony. I would have picked This Land is Your Land by Woody Guthrie and explained why he wrote it and maybe a Bob Dylan tune. Poor kids. :)
Thanks for the efforts,

Oh Matt, it's now time for you to come out of hiding and blog about the new chapters in your life! I'm still experiencing withdrawal symptoms since you stopped blogging...
