This advert features two kids performing a rapid 'eyebrow dance' whilst sitting in a photography studio. The song featured in the advert is "Don't Stop The Rock" by Freestyle.
KS2/3 idea: Ask pupils on which beats of the bar do the kids first twitch their eyebrows? [Ans: beats 2 and 4 (the backbeats)]. The girl improvises a sycopated rhythm on the balloon toward the end. Which percussion instrument in the track also plays similar syncopated patterns? [Ans: cowbell] Can pupils improvise their own syncopated rhythms as the soundtrack plays?
KS3/4 idea: The soundtrack is based on 2 chords (Fm and Eflat) and might be used as a stimulus for pupils to compose a similar advert soundtrack using, say, Am and G.
