Let’s see how to teach grammar via songs. Most of the people 
disagree with this opinion. Because they think that majority of the 
songs are grammatically wrong and based on especially oral ways of 
speech and dialects. On the contrary, there are also songs which are 
grammatically true. In order to find a proper song we have to take into 
consideration some points. For example, it should be suitable for the 
age of learners and should be meaningful. We can't rely on any song 
because of their improper meaning. Besides, if the intended grammar 
rule is repeatedly used from the beginning to the end of the song, it 
will be very useful. Next, taking into consideration the age of 
learners, the song should be slow to understand well because the 
purpose is not to focus on the listening skills but teaching and

explaining the grammar. For instance the following song by Lenka is 
very useful for teaching adjectives in English: 
As sly as a fox, as strong as an ox 
As fast as a hare, as brave as a bear 
As free as a bird, as neat as a word 
As quiet as a mouse, as big as house
All I wanna be, all I wanna be, oh 
All I wanna be is everything
As mean as a wolf, as sharp as a tooth
As deep as a bite, as dark as the night
As sweet as a song, as right as a wrong
As long as a road, as ugly as a toad 
As pretty as a picture hanging from a fixture
Strong like a family, strong as I wanna be
Bright as day, as light as play
As hard as nails, as grand as a whale
All I wanna be oh, all I wanna be, oh 
All I wanna be is everything
Everything at once, everything at once
Oh, everything at once
As warm as the Sun, as silly as fun 
As cool as a tree, as scary as the sea 
As hot as fire, cold as ice 
Sweet as sugar and everything nice 
As old as time, as straight as a line
As royal as a queen, as buzzed as a bee 
As stealth as a tiger, smooth as a glider 
Pure as a melody, pure as I wanna be
All I wanna be oh, all I wanna be, oh 
All I wanna be is everything
Everything at once
By this song we can teach the simple degree of adjectives with 
the structure of "as ...as". But learners can't fully understand the whole
