Motivate Them is a song sung by Lisa in the episode "Yokel Chords". It is a parody of the title song from the musical The Sound of Music, while Lisa's performance of it is more of a parody of Julie Andrews' version of it from the movie. The music was written by Alf Clausen and the lyrics by Michael Price. It is part of the thirty-seventh track on the album The Simpsons: Testify.
