[Poll #965865]


The Scientist (Coldplay) - Yeah, I know, not really sciency, but discussing this song with The Chief is the one that spurred the whole project, so it has to be included.
I think I'm a clone now (Weird Al)
Pocket Calculator (Kraftwerk) - Math counts, doesn't it?
F@#k the creationists (MC Hawking)
Clones (Alice Cooper)
She blinded me with science (Thomas Dolby)
E=MC2 (Big Audio Dynamite)
The Sodium Chloride Song - OK, it's educational, not popular. But it makes me laugh.
The Amoeba Hop - This one, too. And it makes me want to re-rec lesyeuxvert00's microbial slash each time I hear it.
I can make you a man (Tim Curry/RHPC) - Science fiction counts, too. :)
Supermassive Black Hole (Muse)
Chemistry (Semisonic)
Weird science (Oingo Boingo)
Do the evolution (Pearl Jam)
Particle Man (TMBG)
Genetic engineering (X-Ray Spex)
Surreal (Free Radicals)
The future's so bright... (Timbuk3) - I'm waffling on this one. It's sorta nuclear - that's what "he" is studying - but not. Opinions?

Still considering:
Building a histidine [Shut it! HIS biosynthesis is really important, and really useful in yeast genetics and selection.]
Energy (The Apples in Stereo)
one of the scientist biographies (Artichoke)

Love the icon. :)

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

That icon is wrong on so many levels. I'm never going to be able to look at my childhood teddy bear the same way again. But it still has me grinning from ear to ear.

[mimiheart.livejournal.com]

I have a song about that too...

[mimiheart.livejournal.com]

Because for some reason there's a bondage theme going on here...

Hubby dearest apparently has an entire CD of science-themed songs... all in the line of Amoeba Hop... they're from the late 60s though. Not sure if you're interested.

I was also thinking of the planet song from Animaniacs. Not sure if you're counting Astronomy as science, though. And if you're counting science fiction I've got a 1000 songs for you.

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

Every time I see your icon, I shiver. It's so brave and trusting it just blows me away.

I think I'm good for songs, but I'll keep the offer in mind. :)

[mimiheart.livejournal.com]

*blush* It didn't seem that way at the time. :D

Okay.

[fleurdeliser.livejournal.com]

Looks super fun. I can't wait to hear in whatever form you decide to send it. :D

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

I keep shuffling and adding and taking songs away. I need to just cut myself off, burn it, and send copies out. :)

I'm sorry this took so long... I am such a terrible procrastinator!

The Chemical Elements by The Gas House Gang
Hopefully downloadable here

Once again so sorry this took so long!

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

Cool, thanks! :)

I'm a huge procrastinator, myself. I gathered a bunch of songs and just let them sit while I played and replayed and reorganized them in iTunes.

[scotrid.livejournal.com]

I've been confused for a while on what you mean when you write "ETA:", since there never seems to be an estimated time of arrival involved.

I've never heard "The Future's So Bright" all the way through, so I abstain from voting.

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

Ah. It took me forever to realize what it means in LJ context: edited to add. :)

::grins:: I love science songs! I have one I really like, it's Dr. Demento - The Elements Song.

And after I voted for snail mail, I got to thinking. I'll be getting DSL in a few days, so it wouldn't be any problem to dl the CD. Whichever is easiest for you. =) I;m just not used to thinking of it being easy to dl something.

I'm emailing you my snail mail address just in case though.

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

Got it! I don't mind doing it either way. And I love to get mail, so I'm happy to return the favor for people. :)

Is The Elements Song one that names the periodic table?

[animehime.livejournal.com]

Splee! I leave the decision up to you. ;)

I believe so, yes. =) He's playing the piano while singing about the PT, and he also adds a little bit of humor in-between verses.

Someone sent me a CD for Christmas that also has Data reciting his poem about his cat Spot. It's kinda science-y. If you want it, I'll be able to upload it after Tuesday.
