Subject: RE: songs about science From: DaveRo Date: 15 Apr 17 - 05:08 PM 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? |

Subject: RE: songs about science From: DaveRo Date: 15 Apr 17 - 05:11 PM That should be plutonium and polonium. |

Subject: RE: songs about science From: DMcG Date: 16 Apr 17 - 02:56 AM 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. |

Subject: RE: songs about science From: DMcG Date: 16 Apr 17 - 02:57 AM Here's a link to We'll hunt him down |
|
Subject: RE: songs about science From: DMcG Date: 16 Apr 17 - 03:26 AM 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? |

Subject: RE: songs about science From: GUEST,Pete from seven stars link Date: 16 Apr 17 - 02:26 PM Here's a bit from one of my songs. 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 ! |

Subject: RE: songs about science From: Bill D Date: 16 Apr 17 - 10:43 PM 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 |
