song with imperatives?

[Sarah Clovis Bishop]

I like to use Vysotsky's "Utrenniaia gimnastika."  Lots of imperatives, a
good introduction to Vysotsky/the bard tradition.

You can continue the "gimnastika" motif by giving the students various
commands (sit down, stand up, put your left hand on your right knee, etc.)
and having them make up various commands as well.  The students sometimes
groan, but I find it's a good way to warm them up at the beginning of a
class.
