Next summer I'm off on a 2 week school trip. Last year the team adopted 'The Gambler' by Kenny Rogers as their theme. It's a great tune, everyone can sing along and there's some real wisdom in it in a cheesy way.
I'm tending towards something by Johnny Cash for this year but I'm open to suggestions...

Stand by Me - Ben E King
American Pie - Don McLean (lyric sheets again possibly)

Whenever my daughters are about to go off on one, stupid strop or whatever, I like to sing them "Happy Talk" (the Captain Sensible version). So I'd go for that.
Keep 'em coming.
