Students falling asleep during class is a problem for many teachers. Some don't take them seriously; some call them out; others ask them a question about the topic being taught. College professor(教授) Matthew Pittman had a better idea. He sings songs to wake them up.

In a video shared online, the professor surprised three of his students with his musicality. The first, sitting in the front row, caused the teacher to sing Fall for You by Secondhand Serenade. The second student was woken up by the lyrics(歌词) "Do you have the time to listen to me?" in Green Day's Basket Case.
More surprisingly, Pittman woke up the third student by bringing out a loudspeaker to sing Blink-182's I Miss You. The other students seemed to love the way, with one even saying, "That was cute." When someone praised(称赞) how quickly he's able to return to the topic of his lesson, he said that he does lose his train of thought(思路) sometimes.
Pittman, a professor of advertising and public relations now, is described as an expert in social media strategies(社交媒体战略) and green advertising. His clever ideas have not only caught the eyes (and ears) of students in his classes, but also all of social media.
