Fusty, in the second sense, is a perfect word to describe the songs taught to us when I was in grammar school. I remember only three.

1. A song about the correct approach to take with a sailor still drunk come morning
2. A song about a woman who spent eleven years becoming fat and so was unceremoniously dumped by her soldier
3. A song about a Lothario feline who loses one life in a most graphic manner

I cannot imagine these songs being taught in school today. Accordingly, I'll teach them here at home.
