Текст песни.
Yakko:
The sense of sight.
Is what guides us right.
When we go out on walks.
Wakko:
The sense of smell's.
The way you tell.
That you need to change your socks.
Dot:
The sense of touch.
Is what hurts so much.
When you bang your toe on the bed.
Yakko:
The sense of hearing is something good.
'Cause if a tree falls in the wood.
Would there be a sound? You bet there would.
If it landed on top of your head.
YW+D:
Your head.
If a tree lands on top of your head!
Wakko:
The sense of taste.
Affects your waist.
Yakko: Which makes five senses in all.
Dot:
There's a sixth sense, too, but it's hard to explain.
It's a psychic connection inside of your brain.
So you can understand people like Shirley MacLaine.
Yakko: Who wear crystals they bought in the mall.
YW+D: The mall.
Who wear crystals they bought in the mall!
Yakko: And now the other senses!
Dot:
There are scents you can smell.
Like cologne from Chanel.
Or the scents of expensive perfume.
Yakko:
There are scents of flowers.
We hope overpowers.
The kitty box next to your room. Phew!
Wakko:
There's a sense of pride.
You have deep down inside.
Yakko: When you practice a sense of fair play.
Dot: There are dollars and cents that you pay at a toll.
Yakko: Or the census man who is taking a poll.
Wakko: And a sense of confusion; we're out of control.
YW+D: And they really should take us away.Away.
They really should take us away!
Dot:
There's a sense of humor.
A sense of doom, or
A sense of awe, sense of timing.
Yakko:
The sense of a word
A sense of absurd
Like trying to do all this rhyming!
Dot: There's incense.
Wakko: And horse sense.
Yakko: And common sense, it's true.
Dot: Sense of wonder, sense of beauty.
Wakko: Sense of honor, sense of duty.
Yakko: A sense of doubt, a sense of danger.
Dot : A sense of fear, when you meet a stranger.
Wakko: A sense of style, a sense of worth.
Yakko: A sense of direction for knowing the earth.
YW+D:
A sense of dread as we're singing this song
That it's starting to turn out completely all wrong
And it's time that we end it because it's too long
'Cause it just doesn't make any sense. Nonsense.
This song doesn't make any sense!
10) Human beings have a multitude of senses
In addition to the traditionally recognized five senses of sight (ophthalmoception), hearing (audioception), taste (gustaoception), smell (olfacoception or olfacception), and touch (tactioception), other senses include temperature (thermoception), kinesthetic sense (proprioception), pain (nociception), balance (equilibrioception) and acceleration (kinesthesioception). What constitutes a sense is a matter of some debate, leading to difficulties in defining what exactly a sense is.
Balance
What does allow an organism to sense body movement, direction?(Слайд 11)
Balance or vestibular sense is the sense that allows an organism to sense body movement, direction, and acceleration, and to attain and maintain postural equilibrium and balance.
11) What other senses do you know?
(E.g. temperature, pain)
12) What can you say about non-human senses? (Слайд 12)
(E. g. finding the way home, migration, echolocation)
Non-human animals also have receptors to sense the world around them, with degrees of capability varying greatly between species. Humans have a comparatively weak sense of smell, whilst other species may lack one or more of the traditional five senses. Some species of animals are able to sense the world in a way that humans cannot, with some species able to sense electrical and magnetic fields, and detect water pressure and currents.
13) What does “extra sense” mean?
Now it's time to make up the dialogues. (E. g. About pigeons. They are always able to find their way home)
