  abstract =     "One effective way to introduce a dose of humanity,
                 acknowledge the needs and struggles of CS1 students,
                 and appeal to a broader range of learning styles is to
                 present a computer science topic in an entertaining
                 manner, e.g., with some form of artistic performance.
                 In this paper, I describe three songs for CS1 that are
                 designed to help students surmount three of the most
                 difficult hurdles of that course. Empirical and
                 anecdotal results demonstrate that the songs help
                 students learn, and help them enjoy learning. These
                 songs are a case study in entertainment; all
                 instructors can find some way to entertain their class,
                 and recordings of the songs themselves are available on
                 the web for any instructor or student.",
