Use "Shake It Up" by the Cars for students to shake a 2 Liter bottle with about 4 cm of sand blasting sand in the bottom where they measure the temp of the sand before shaking & see that after 3:33 of shaking, the temperature rises (mechanical energy to thermal).

maybe you could use "Defy Gravity" from Wicked for something, too?

I have the kids pretend they are molecules in three phases of matter and then "increase the temperature" through music changes.  They go from wriggling molecules in a crystal lattice to running around the room.
