One of my students yesterday insisted to me "Welcome to the Jungle" was a Guns & Roses song |
|
And I was all like, No, it's an AC/DC song that Guns & Roses covered. It was a pretty faithful cover, so it's not like they even put their own spin on it. But she was all, No, I've heard it on the radio. Guns & Roses did that song. She didn't say "wrote that song" but I could tell that's what she was thinking. I will, of course, see to it that she has to repeat American History.

1. AC/DC is an Austrailian band so shouldn't you make sure she repeats Austrailian history? |

3. Hate to break it to you, but... |
|
"Welcome to the Jungle" was written by Axl Rose and Slash. You may be confusing the "B" side, which outside of America was a cover of AC/DC's "Whole Lotta Rosie". In America, the "B" side was "Mr. Brownstone". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welcome_to_the_Jungle

:rofl: !!! Wow. I don't know where I got the idea that it was AC/DC. But it really doesn't matter if you're right in life. It only matters that you hold your ignorance with certainly and officiousness. Then you win.
