Vocabulary -Building & Songs

This is one of the  pragmatic way to analyse the tone, pitch, rhyme and rhythm in the construction of vocabulary and it is an artistic and exquisite way to cherish the dictionary of words used in one of the songs to enlighten the minds as well as to cherish the world of juggling community-relationships and mind-blogging usage of words in composing lyrics and the meddling and ordering of words to create rhyme and rhythm.I have downloaded three or four links of the world famous song 

"WE ARE THE WORLD, WE ARE THE CHILDREN" 

AND EVERY LINK ON THIS SONG FROM YOU-TUBE FACILITATES THE LEARNER WITH THE DIFFERENT IDEOLOGY TO LEARN VOCABULARY EITHER THROUGH WEB-IMAGES OF THE WORLD ACROSS THE GLOBE OR IT CAUSES COMPARISONS HOW ONE OF THE BEAUTIFUL SONG  CAN BE USED TO WORK MANY AREAS OF VOCABULARY BUILDING THROUGH VARIOUS WAYS OF DEVELOPMENTAL SKILLS IN ELT.
