Music in the classroom

Listening to authentic foreign music in the classroom can be challenging because of students' pre-conceived ideas due to a lack of exposure. However, it can be very successful when linked to specific activities-drilling of a specific structure or games- or to introduce a topic with an element of target-language culture.
http://fr.launch.yahoo.com/ has lots of video clips in French (mentioned by Helen Myers on Linguanet)
can help setting up activities by providing the lyrics for thousands of old and new songs in French.
http://www.planetadeletras.com/ and http://www.letras.com/ are similar song lyrics sites in Spanish
