15 Apr 17 - 05:08 PM (#3850637) Subject: RE: songs about science From: DaveRo Loudon Wainwright's 1994 is about genetic engineering. Chris Wood's Turtle Soup is about Darwin. And he wrote a song about geology, looking back from the far future: When cars and trucks and ships and planes will stain the seams of rock rust red.Peggy Seeger has a couple if songs about elements: If you want the bomb, one of your very own-ium...and one about an isotope: Polinium 210. I heard a song by Charlie Dore last week comparing somebody to a neutrino; I think it's on her new CD. Is this a first - a song about a sub-atomic particle? |

16 Apr 17 - 02:56 AM (#3850674) Subject: RE: songs about science From: DMcG Jez Lowe's satirical song about some people's attitude to Darwin called "We'll Hunt Him Down", available on the "Head's Up" CD. Many of the lyrics of his songs are available on his web site, but this one isn't. |

16 Apr 17 - 03:26 AM (#3850678) Subject: RE: songs about science From: DMcG The problem with broadcasting that song, though, especially in the US, is the fear of being on the receiving end of a fire bomb or similar. Which illustrates the problem nicely: just how far can one 'stand up for science' safely? |

Montana , hell creek bore / mystery of dinosaur /in its bone soft blood spots lay / which they thought had passed away / Darwinists were briefly stumped , creation had come up trumps / what they saw was clearly plain / time for them to think again ! |

16 Apr 17 - 10:43 PM (#3850782) Subject: RE: songs about science From: Bill D Pete... all that a couple of discoveries of soft tissue or red blood cells means is that it is uncommon to find such things, and that science must re-evaluate a formerly accepted idea. (That's what science does... when surprises happen, they integrates the new data, not discard all previous analysis in favor of a totally different concept.) about Hell Creek and Mary Schweitzer |
