[00:00:00]The power of music is actually a big one. You must have heard the jingle from the opening of The Brady Bunch.

[00:00:06]I must have been studying up for the Roman Republic at the same time and just out of nowhere I just started going, "Oh."

[00:00:13]Maybe I could turn this into a bit of a song. It's uh Don't don't don't don't don't. It's the story of a man named Cato who was being such a big pain in the butt. He was blocking legislation with the optimates which made the triumvirs sad. And then I'll just go around with a microphone, a fake microphone prop, and get the whole class involved. So, they're either cringing like trying to hide and by the end of it like everyone can sing it in unison.

[00:00:40]I've got students in the HSC that have written down the lyrics of the song to help them remember stuff for their 25-mark essay.
