My favorite song by Mr. Parker would have to be " Just Like Genghis Kahn". I like this one because I already know the song it's based off of called "Just the Way You Are", so it makes it easy for me to know the tune and stuff. But if that wasn't my favorite then it would be "Three West African Empires" to the tune of "This Land Is Your Land". I like this one because it's catchy and easy to memorize. I'm honestly really shy so I perfer to do a duet with someone. I'm ready to sing which ever one my partner and I would be good at. (: Perhaps one about the Ottomans.
My favorite song would probably be Walkin' on the Inca Empire Roads because its to the tune of Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland which is really catchy and easy to remember. If i had to sing a song in front of the class it would be Ottomans because its really short and easy :P
My favorite song by Mr. Parker is Just Like Genghis Kahn. I really like this song because I know the original, and I loved how Julian, Kevin, and Thieke sang it in 3rd period. The song has great wording and it really helps me understand more about GENGHIS KAHN! I would probably not like singing a song in front of the class by myself, but I would sing it with a group of people:)
Marisol Diaz (:
The best song that was written by Mr. Parker would have to be a tie between Machiavelli, and Three West African Empires! Machiavelli has verry familiar beat which will make it easier for me to remember. On the other hand, Three West African Empires is really catchy and I find myself singing it in my head sometimes, odly enough, also I would say it has the most information, wich is highly benneficial! If anything I would be able to sing in a duet or group, and the song I would be most ready yo sing is most of them, aslong as it's noy by myself.
Zeng He the eunuch based on Frosty the snowman was my favorite because to me it is catchy so that it sticks in your head and because I had to tell my red line group about what a eunuch is. I wouldn't like to sing a song in front of the class it would be either Zeng He the eunuch or Walkin' on the Inca Empire Roads these two just seem to stick out in my mind when I think of Mr.Parker's Songs
My favorite is a tie between Three West African Empires and Just Like Genghis Kahn. I like the Three West African Empires because I like how its to the tune of This Land is Your Land. It reminds me how that song brings all ethnicities together. Im READY, to sing Just Like Genghis Kahn because its super catchy and i get a lot out of it, it says a lot about Genghis and he's really cool :)
My favorite song would be the Zheng He one because I like frosty the snowman. The tune is easy to remember because I can't ever remember any tunes for the other songs. I am ready to sing the Chinese empires song..just kidding..I think the African Empires would be pretty easy to learn and sing.
My favorite song by Mr.Parker has to be "Just Like Genghis Kahn". This song is my favorite because I love the original song.I wouldn't like to sing a song by myself in front of the class! I rather sing it in a group or with a partner! I would like to sing an easy song(with a partner or a group), for example the one about the Ottomans, or i wold probably like a song that involves repetition (because its easy to remember), for example " I'm Going To Constantinople" or " Three West African Empires". (:
My favorite song would probably be "Machiavelli" just because it's based off of a lady gaga song, so I'd get into the song easier xP
I would be most ready to sing "Just Like Genghis Khan" because that's the song that 3rd period's trio sang,and I think 3rd period did a GREAT job singing it, so we'd be pretty ready on that one :3
My favorite song by Mr. Parker is
"Just like Genghis Khan" because the song is "amazing" and it is easy for it to be stuck on your head all day. The song I could problably sing in from of the class after vacation is "Zenhe the Eunuch" but maybe not by myself.
-Ruby Ayala, 3rd period
My favorite song would have to be " just like genghis Kahn". It's my favorite because it is a great song. we learned alot about genghis and this long helps me remember what we learned. The song I would probably sing is the "three west African empires". This song is simple and easy to remember, I would want to sing in a group though because by myself it would be pretty embarrassing...
My favorite song would have to be Zheng He the Eunich. I like this song because it is the holiday season right now and this song is perfect for this time of year. Also, I've always loved the the song "Frosty the Snowman". I think I am ready to sing this with probably a group. Too embarrassing by myself.
My favorite Parker song? You may as well have asked the meaning of life or what would happen if Pinocchio said, "My nose will now grow"?
There has not been a single AP song that I have not thoroughly enjoyed. I even love the ones with tunes to songs which I am not at all fond of. For instance, I have no appreciation for any of Bruno Mar's work, and I find 'Just the way you are' to be an incredibly irritating song. However 'Just like Genghis Kahn' might very well be one of my all time favorite songs. I mean including every song ever written, this is not at all limited to AP songs.
While I do not have favorite songs, I do have a few favorite lyrical segments. These include, "We're secular, but we still have fun" because I'm rather secular myself, but I still have a ball.
"I love singing songs." This line is important to me, because I DO love singing songs. It is as if you read my mind.
"You know, you know Genghis would never ask you to change as long as you payed tribute your customs could remain." This line is just so well written. I wish it were my own work.
I could probably continue this list until I had listed every lyric you have yet written with detailed reasons as to why I love them, but instead I will answer the second portion of the questions.
If I were to perform one of these musical masterpieces, it would be ALL OF THEM. Seriously, I've considered dropping out of school, buying your music, and taking it on tour with me. I'm dreadful at singing, but with such killer lyrics, anyone would be a success.
Thank you for your brilliance, Parker.
Sincerely,
Aurora Dismukes
basically they are all amazing... can i choose the Chinese Dynasties? haha just kidding.
i would have to go with the Three West African Empires. this one's my favorite cause it's the only one that i know more than two lines of. hahaha. plus the other songs go too high and too low for me so it's hard to sing them sometimes.
shoooot i'm ready to sing it.. hopefully.
My favorite song would have to be 'Just like Genghis Khan'. That shouldn't be very suprising. I've already sung it in front of you guys, so the next song I would be willing to sing solo would be 'Machiavelli'.
Happy Holidays to all![:
My favorite song has to be Zheng He because it's easy to remember and I have had that song stuck in my head for a week. Since its to the tune of Frosty the Snowman,it makes it a really fun song. If i had to sing in front of the class I would sing with a group because it would be a lot of fun that way.I would sing Zheng He the Eunich.
My favorite song would have to be Machiavelli because i love how it is a lady gaga song. i also like the song Just Like Genghis Kahn its so easy to remember im ready to sing it for the battle with 2nd period. next time mr. parker use a tupac song or t-pain, or chris brown (:
My favorite song is has to be "Just like Genghis Kahn"! I have it memorized and I can pretty much break out singing it at any moment; It's so catchy :D My other two favorites are "Three West African Empires" and "Zenghe the Eunuch" those are pretty catchy too. Also, I like our new one "The 12 days of AP" I can't wait to sing that one in fact, mostly because my class is gonna rock it! :3
My favorite song would probably be the Ottomans because it has a nice tune. And if I would have to sing a song in front of the class I would sing just like genghis khan.again.
My favorite song by Mr. Parker is the Chinese Dynasties song. This is my favorite because its short, sweet, and to the point. Also, its is one of the few songs I can remember. I can sing this in front of the class, but that doesn't mean I want to.
My favorite song by Mr. Parker is probably "Just Like Ghengis Khan" because it's to my favorite song, "Just The Way You Are".
The only bad thing about it is I find myself singing the words to "Just Like Ghengis Khan" instead of the actual song. -_-
Hahahaha.:)
Anyways... the one I'm ready for when we come back from Winter Break is "12 Days Of AP".
It's so catchy! :D
My Favorite song is the Chinese empire song! this is my favorite because I can easily sing this while taking a test and remember the Chinese dynasties... I would sing "Three West African Empires," because it's pretty catchy
My Favorite song would have to be 'Zenghe the eunuch' wich as you know is to the tune of 'Frosty the snowman'And I mean come on who doesn't love Frosty! Plus it is clever and I sang it to myself during my Bio final and it grew on me:)My second favorite would have to be the 'Three west African Empires' Because it reminds me of way back in kindergarten singing in a circle plus it is a pretty cool song:)
-Chaniya Milazzo(Period 2)
My favorite song would be Just Like Genghis Kahn. The tune is easy to remember because its already from a song that I know and helps me remember about Genghis Kahn. I am not ready to sing in front of the class after vacation, but I think I would sing the Chinese Dynasties, since the song is short and simple.
My favorite song is the ottammans and thats the one that i would sing in front of everyone. :)
My favorite Mr.Parker song would have to be "I'm Going to Constantineople", becasue I like the tune and it's catchy. The song i would sing in front of class would be The Chinese Dynasties song, as it is easy to remember and short.
My favorite song by Mr. Parker would have to be the Ottoman Empire song. This would have to be my favorite somg because it is to the tune of Jingle Bells and it is a really catchy songs. Plus, there are two versions to it! When we get back from our break, I am prepared to sing the 12 Days of AP sng because its a really catchy song and I believe I would be able to memorize the song and have fun singing it.
-Sabrina Galindo (:
i think my favorite is the Chinese dynasties song because its short and easy to remember.Also because it got stuck in my head and cant get it out X(. -alex jimenez
oh and everyone have an awesome Christmas!
My favorite song by Mr. Parker would be "The Ottomans."I like this song because it easy to remember, has two versions, and is written to the tune of Jingle Bells. It is also catchy and once you sing it, you can't get it out of your head. If i had to sing one of the songs in front of the class, it would have to be "The Ottomans."
Merry Christmas or what ever holiday you celebrate Mr. Parker.
My favorite song would have to be Machiavelli cause it just fun to sing and i would not want to sing any songs cause i cant sing to save my life, but if i did i would be cool with the Ottomans or Chinese dynasties cause they are simple
-Gracie j. Stephens
Hi Parker! I hope you all had a Merry Christmas! but my favorite song is Ghengis Khan because its to the tune of one of my personal favorites Just The Way You are. The song is just so catchy so whenever the radio flips to Bruno Mars i find the words being replaced by yours :) haha
I have already sang this song in front of BOTH classes...so hopefully i wont have to relive that :o haha
My favoritte song would havto be "The 12m Days of AP". I like this song because its catchy and pretty easy to remember. Plus everytime we sing it, it reminds me of the guys singing it which leaves me with a pretty big smile. So that makes me enjoy the song even more. After that song i would havto say its "Just Like Genghis Kahn" and this is because of the tune and all that. It just ,makes the song enjoyable and easy to sing. Im ready to sing any of these songs or any song at all that my partners willing to sing with me.Happy Holidays btw(:
-Angelina Chhoun.
My favorite ap song from Mr.Parker would probably have to be "Zenghe the Eunuch" because of its' catchy tune and everything so it would be easy to memorize and learn about Zenghe. Well, if I have to sing a song in front of the class it would probably have to be the "Ottomans" because its really simple cause it is based on jingle bells and so it is the easiest song.
My favorite song by Mr. Parker is "Just like Genghis Kahn". I like this one because it's easy to remember and it's catchy. It's based on "Just The Way You Are" by Bruno Mars. I wouldnt sing alone in front of the class but I would sing with a group. The song I'd sing with a group would probably be "Zenghe the Eunuch" to the tune of "Frosty the Snowman" :)

Hi Mr.Parker,
My favorite AP song would have to be the Three West African Empires because it has a memberable tune. If i had to sing a song, I think that one would be the least embarrising, but I dont want to unless i absolutely positively have to because it will effect my grade drasticly.See you Monday
my favorite song is the genghis kahn song because it is based on a well known song making it easier to learn the information.
i want to sing the three african empire song because it is a song both me and my partner like and know.

My favorite song is the three west African empires because it is super catchy and really fun to sing. I would sing this song but I don't remember the words very well so in front of the class if I really had to sing I would sing the Chinese dynasty song because I can actually remember it very well.
-Ashley Jones
My favorite song by Mr. Parker is "Machiavelli", or maybe Just Like "Ghengis Khan", it's a tie! This is so because they are both two songs that I know the original song to it. To sing in front of class, I would sing "Ottomans" since it's short & fast so I can get it over with as soon as possible.
-Cristina Tinoco
My Favorite Song Was " Like Genghis Kahn" Because it Had The Tune Of One Of My Favorite Songs which is " Just The Way You Are " By Brutus Mars. It Was Fun To Sing in Klass && Easy To Remember .I Really Hope We Kan Keep Singing Songs Like This In Class. It just Make History More Exciting && interesting:)!
My favorite song by Mr.Parker is " Three West African Empires" because its just so dang catchy and I can't help catch myself singing it when I'm alone more often then any other of Mr.Parker's amazing masterpieces and I absolutely positively ready to sing this song in front of the class I just hope I can do it justice :D
My favorite song by Mr. Parker is the Ottomans because it is short, simple, and easy to remember because of the cathcy tune. This would also be the song I am going to be singing after vacation.
my favorite song by the beloved mr. parker is just like genghis khan due to the fact that i catch my self singing the tune. i am ready to sing walking on the inca empire roads. its quite the catchy tune also.
desiree p per 2
well all the songs are cool, i really like machiavelli because it's catchy and has tons of information.. but in a funny way. it helped me learn the facts more than a couple others. i probably would not sing it infront of the class though.. i'd scare people.
- kayla aleman
My favorite song would most likely be "Just like Genghis Kahn." Mostly because it was the song that Kevin, Cheeekie and I sang in front of the class which was really funny and kind of embarrassing. i like the tune to this song because it is very catchy and allows me to sing along with great confidence :p. also, the song provides great information about Genghis Kahn.
If I HAD to sing a song in front of the class it would be the 12 days of ap because it very catchy, short, and easy to remember.
