The time of my life

Today, we will work with the song 'The time of my life' ( Dirty Dancing Soundtrack). Our students may not know this song, but they are probably familiar with a new version called 'The Time' by Black Eyed Peas. 
In this case, I will divide the lyrics into different parts; first, the extracts sung by the girl, and then those that the boy sings. In groups, I will ask students to put them in the correct order while listening to the song. 

Boy: Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it's the truth
and I owe it all to you

Girl: 'Cause I've had the time of my life
and I owe it all to you

Boy: I've been waiting for so long
Now I've finally found someone
To stand by me

Girl: We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical fantasy

Both: Now with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise it secretly
So we take each other's hand
'Cause we seem to understand the urgency

Boy: just remember

Girl: You're the one thing

Boy: I can't get enough of

Girl: So I'll tell you something

Both: This could be love because

Both: I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you

Girl: With my body and soul
I want you more than you'll ever know

Boy: So we'll just let it go
Don't be afraid to lose control

Girl: Yes I know what’s on your mind
When you say:
"Stay with me tonight."

Boy: Just remember
You're the one thing

Girl: I can't get enough of

Boy: So I'll tell you something

Both: This could be love because

Both:  I’ve had the time of my life
No I've never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I've searched through every open door
Till I found the truth
and I owe it all to you

Boy: Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
(Girl: Never Felt this way)
Boy: Yes I swear it's the truth
and I owe it all to you

Both:  I've had the time of my life
No I've never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you

Both: 'cause I’ve had the time of my life
And I've searched through every open door
Till I've found the truth
and I owe it all to you

Since the song contains several 'present perfect tenses' we can focus our grammatical point on them. 

To check the order of the song, an extract of the film will be shown.

The time of my life ( Film )

Optionally, we could ask students their opinion about creating new versions of old films or songs. 

Hope this is useful!
