Science Songs!

Download the Glucose Glucose song from that site! It should be particularly of interest to bio students. I don't understand a colossal chunk of it, (contains A level stuff like glycolysis... is that a drink? =P) but it's okay. IT'S SO FUNNY.
(and besides, the website provides a *brief* explanation on the jargons used in the lyrics)

Glucose -- ah, sugar sugar --
You are my favorite fuel
From the blood-borne substrate pool.
Glucose -- monosaccharide sugar --
You're sweeter than a woman's kiss'
Cause I need you for glycolysis.

I just can't believe the way my muscles take you in.
(For you, they'll open the door.)
All it takes is a little bit of insulin
(To upregulate GLUT4).

Ah, glucose -- ah, sugar sugar --
You help me make ATP
When my predators are chasing me.
Ah, glucose -- you're an aldehyde sugar,
And you're sweeter than a woman's kiss'
Cause I need you for glycolysis.

I just can't believe the way my muscles break you down.
(My glycogen is almost gone.)
A few more seconds and I'll be rigor mortis-bound.
(Acidosis done me wrong.)

Your sweet is turning sour, baby.
I'm losing all my power, baby.
I'm gonna make your muscles ache.
No, no, no!I'm swimming in lactate, baby.
Yes, I'm swimming in lactate, baby.
Now I'm drowning in lactate, baby.
I'm gonna make your muscles ache.
No, no, no!
I'm drowning in lactate, baby.

Ah, glucose -- ah, sugar sugar --
I used you up and you left me flat;
Now I'll have to get my kicks from fat.
Oh, glucose, glucose, sugar, sugar,
The honeymoon is over now.



How about CHEMISTRY CAROLS?

check out "I'm Dreaming Of A White Precipitate". WTH.


Oh ya. I'm sick of having this in my msn nick, so I'm going to paste this here for memory.

and not to mention this phrase I created spontaneously for my msn nick too.
"My computer just attempted suicide by hanging"
