Youtube Video for AP physics project--Advice/Opinions Wanted

Hey I have to make a youtube video related to physics for our Final event of Physics Olympics.

The objective is to make a performance related to physics, post it on youtube, and the scoring would be determined on the last day of class by the number of views logged by the you tube counter.

In previous years former students did song parodies, and dressed up as our teacher to make it funny.
One team went a different way, and posted a 5 second video of them yelling "Physics"!

Any suggestions? I feel like I could make a song parody and record it in my school media room and edit it there. I don't know what you guys at the physics forum community lean towards, classic rock, classical, modern day music, etc.

The idea that's coming to mind is to just get a popular song, making the lyrics about physics, using my DSLR Nikon 5100 with its 1080P capabilities to capture the video, and make it witty.

Or maybe make a song about how we went through the crazy and tough times of AP Physics? Or maybe a survival guide jingle?

Any suggestions on what you would want to see or feel that is best to do for this assignment, please let me know! I would love to show you guys what we come up with in the end!

How about a song about how physics saved your life during a zombie attack? I know zombies are pretty popular, it might get you a few hits!

Really?You should definitely incorporate some of the most searched keywords in google into your presentation. That way you are likely to get more youtube hits, and yes, zombies are a must.

Is this a physics project, or a project in SEO/internet-popularity?

Sure I can do zombies as an idea! I have some good lyrics so far, and its to the beat of a pretty popular song now so I think It will do good.

But my only concern is that I don't want the lyrics/idea of the video to seem very obtuse and random...like I have a verse where I explain energy, then I have the chorus that says what to do during a test, and then I will somewhere incorporate how physics saved me from zombies. I mean it sounds like an amazing idea, but I will be thinking long and hard how to keep the idea/theme of the video flowing and making sense throughout.

Loving the Zombie idea!
