Economics Songs - Ah! This is a study technique in disguise. Any time you need to memorize something, you can set the information to some song you know. It can be any song. You just change the words of the song to the information you need to learn. By the time you get the new words "to work" with the tune, you will probably know the information. It will have been painless too. Maybe. :)
