Greek Philosophers ("Can't Get You Out of My Head" by Kylie Minogue)

Floating heads, flying Greek letters, and lots of naked statues. Oh, and the Socratic method and Plato's Cave are in there too. And Aristotle's Golden Mean.

Well done! Recently discovered! I only wish you were not "whited out". I just love watching you dance and sing. (It's very addictive.) And that hair shade! Ooo La La! Is it a re-purposed Borgia wig, or did you dye your own hair? How much trouble am I in, so far? Maybe I better shut up while I am ahead! Oh, H why did you white HER out? Still, a work of genius. (Don't tell H! He'll get vain!) Can't wait for something new. Have I dropped enough hints? Yes? OK I shut up, then.

@PierreaSweedieCat it's a wig as usual. I'm whited out because I am supposed to be like a Greek statue...hence the vacant eye look

How are Xenophon and Criton philosophers?

Great video, though! =)

[historyteachers]

@smst777 Well, as a student of Socrates, Xenophon recorded Socratic dialogues and other accounts of his life and teaching stye (plus we needed 3 syllables). As for Crito, we thought the famous dialogue between him and Socrates was pretty important to refer to...but I can see your point.

ok my professor wnated us to watch this.....very educational....ima be singing this in class

[mittfh]

That song's been crying out for a parody ever since it was released. Then finally, you come along and not only produce an excellent parody, but an intellectual one as well, that even manages to do something useful with the La la la's of the original!

I'm so happy that people use great singing to teach others stuff

[PierreaSweedieCat]

@historyteachers Oh, trust me.... your eyes are anything BUT vacant! (Never vacant!) But, ok. You're a Greek Statue. Trust me... no Greek statue has ever moved around as much as you, or has ever moved like you.... Idea: PERHAPS... YOU COULD HAVE TRIED STANDING STILL??? LIKE A STATUE! But that has never happened in history, yet, eh? Oh... Yes. King Tut! That was Awesome, too! Sometimes, I pity Mr.H. Sometimes... I envy him (but only a little.)
