Intro

1. Learn Vocabulary - Learn some new vocabulary before you start the lesson.

2. Read and Prepare - Read the introduction and prepare to hear the audio.

Pink is a rising star in the pop music scene. She made her first album, Can’t Take Me Home, when she was just 19 years-old. It featured 3 hit songs, including the irresistible “There You Go.”
Pink’s latest album, Missundaztood, is even better than the first. It features more can’t-miss hits – including one of my favorite songs of the year, “Get This Party Started.”

Dialog

1. Listen and Read - Listen to the audio and read the dialog at the same time.

2. Study - Read the dialog again to see how the vocab words are used.

“Get This Party Started” is filled with slang words and phrases. It’s probably very hard to understand if you don’t have a lot of experience with American English. But don’t worry! I’m here to help.
Check out this verse:
Pumping up the volume,
breaking down to the beat
Cruising through the west side
We’ll be checking the scene
Boulevard is freaking
as I’m coming up fast
I’ll be burning rubber,
you’ll be kissing my ass
Pull up to the bumper,
get out of the car
License plate says
Stunner Number One Superstar

Discussion

Like most of the songs on Pink’s new CD, “Get This Party Started” is fun, sexy and full of energy. Pink has a unique atttitude to match her unique pink hair, and it shows on the songs on this album.
