A boy’s birthday is ruined when his new puppy eats the pizza. Thankfully, after he makes his birthday wish, it starts raining tacos. Saved! 

I missed the “Raining Tacos” song when it came out on 2012, but my students remember it well. Like me, however, they are not fond of the whole birthday framing for the classic song. They want a new song with the whole thing, or they want a shorted intro to the tacos. Like Baby Shark, whoever, this will probably be a hit despite my students’ personal thoughts (they’re 7th graders).
