Rock and Roll to Motivate


I was at the library looking through the education section for some books on teaching. I had no idea what I was looking for and was letting the moment guide me.
I picked up a book from 1983 and it was about how music in the background can affect the mood of the students.
There was some stuff on Alpha Beta and Delta waves created with different type of music.
Now as a dismal scientist I am not into New Age stuff but what about using rock and roll.
Here is one that is not fully cooked:

  • Marginal Cost vs Marginal Benefit of selling and moving could be taught with the Clash in the background singing "should I stay or should I go?"

If you can think of any other songs let me know. I will add some as I come up with them.
