Ooooops, it has been a really long time since I posted! Well, this is definitely worth a post. Today while searching on Google for the option to disable the infamous "DJ" button on the keyboards in my classroom, I found some hilarious comments on some random message board. I laughed so hard I cried because they are totally true and make me wonder if some of my students wrote them...
(If you don't have these delightful keyboards in your classroom, you will not find this nearly as funny as I did. You should also consider yourself lucky.)
It's certainly wonderful to have a set of classroom keyboards, but the second they discover that DJ button...it's all over...
Anyway, enjoy.

"The "DJ" button on some Yamaha keyboards has to be the greatest ever button ever made ever, anywhere, on anything.
Pressing it unleashes a loud shout of "DJ!", which for some strange reason seems to infuriate music teachers. It also changes all the keys to various "DJ" sounds, including several orgasmic moans.
When our music teacher told Alan to press the DJ button until he got bored of it, I think Alan believed he had died and gone to heaven."
"The DJ button is indeed the finest thing ever put on a keyboard. Our
Music lessons were a doss at the best of times, but the day we
discovered the uses of the DJ button was like finding the Holy Grail.
This culminated in a couple of lads using the moaning sounds to
recreate a porn soundtrack. All it really needed was the kid next to
them playing a bit of 70s funk guitar, and if you shut your eyes, it'd
have been perfect."
"The DJ button also infuriated our teacher. When asked to go away and
write a composition, those with the new Yamaha keyboards would
invariably come back with a mishmash of orgasmic moans, "DJ!" and
"Dictionary" (another function). We were eventually banned from using
that key."
