To start off the lesson, we had recapped what we had done in the previous lesson (the freeze frames and the sitting down dance). And then we tried adding in the next section which we all thought that would be a good idea was that we add in a drum beat like pattern which would go from one end of the table to the other which was rather hard as we have to do the beats rather fast and make sure that it's all in time. Then we added in the movement where we all stand up and point at Ashley. We chose this as we didn't want to spend the whole intro sitting down and felt that there should have been more movement and us getting more entertaining for the audience. When it got to the second lesson we spend a while singing through the song, really trying to get a feel for it and then trying to get used to the lyrics and when peoples ques are. We then got to the section in which it really speeds up and most of the words rhyme. The Lyrics are :
"Bisexuals, trisexuals, homo sapiens,
Carcinogens, hallucinogens, men,
Pee-wee Herman
German wine, turpentine, Gertrude Stein
Antoniotti, Bertolucci, Kurosawa
Carmina Burana
(ALL)
To apathy, to entropy, to empathy, ecstasy
Vaclav Havel - The Sex Pistols, 8BC
To no shame - never playing the Fame Game"
And we had to go line by line as it was a bit of a tongue twister. Also, as i had never heard the song before I was a bit baffled by the song and thought that it was really quick however, the more I listen to it, the more I feel like I can really achieve singing it at a fast pace.
