What are your favorite songs that are somehow related to science. (no sci fi songs here, just real sciences)

My personal favorites are:
Why does the Sun shine? by They Might Be Giants
The Galaxy Song by Eric Idle

Lynda Williams - Carbon is A Girls Best Friend

A lithium dose just might cure your depression
but carbon is a girls best friend.
Gold may be grand but it wont start a fire in y our
BBQ or put the toot in your choo-choo.
Life on Earth is carbon based.
It came here on rocks from outer space and
formed organic compounds till
the carbon-cycle went round and round!
Carbon is a girls best friend!

There may come a time when you need to do some
squeezing - carbon is your hardest friend!
There may come a time when a substrate is needed
to deposit your film on.
Well just sputter it on a hard diamond.
If you have some lubing to do
then graphite is the allotrope for you.
Or if your into Ages then carbon-14 will date it.
Carbon is a girls best friend!

Ive heard of attempts to make hard carbon nitride
but diamonds always win in the end!
Ive heard that we need to make something much cleaner
to put in our cars or else we wont get very far.

Cuz time rolls on and supplies will be gone
of diamonds, coal and petroleum.
But nanotechnology can build anything with fullerenes!

Carbon is a girls best friend.


There are a lot of awesome science songs out there. I'll try and find the old NewsRadio report on science music, some of them were brilliant.

Oh man, I was going to post that! I mean, as bizzare as it sounds, its a COOL sounding song! The people singing are very good harmaniclly...

So since thats used, I give you:

"The sun is a mass of incadesent gas!
A gigantic Nuclear Furnace!
Where Hydrogen is turned into Helium,
At a temprature of Millions of degrees!

I kind of like the sound of Science by System of a Down, but the lyrics are actually anti-science. I don't know if they're making fun of what fundies believe, or if they are actually crazy enough to believe that crap themselves...

There's several songs by them that have some personally disagreeable lyrics.

That song's great. I just made a YTMND of it.

BTW that rhyming scheme is from the Pirates of Penzance song, 'I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major General'.

A place where we could live
But here on earth there'd be no life
without the light it gives!"

That entire song is awesome
