This isn't even the best version, couldn't easily figure out how to upload an MP3. But sadly, I somewhat agree with the comment that there aren't any great songs about Science. The top five songs that come close though:


5) "We are all Made of Stars" by Moby
Unless we are living in a computer simulation, this is undeniably true and haunting to think about. I dare you to not end up contemplating your own mortality when you hear this song.
4) "Three is a Magic Number" by School House Rock
Not really science, but Math comes close when you're talking about lack of great songs.
3)" '39" by Queen. Brian May, Queen's guitarist is an PhD Astrophysicist, which means this is undoubtedly about time dilation. Silly people and their other theories about what it means.
2) "I Am A Scientist" by Guided By Voices. I am a Scientist/I seek to understand. Enough said. This is probably the only song about Science with a captial S. And it does it in only one line!
1) "Modern Major General"/"The Elements", lyrics music and lyrics by Gilbert and Sullivan and lyrics by Tom Leher. Alone, they are good, but together they are great.


Of course, now I feel obligated to bring up the most Unscientific songs of all time. In my opinion this list pretty much starts and ends with Insane Clown Posse's "Miracles". Check out the video, as well as the SNL parody of it.
