Songs about Science

Cassandra

Guest
There are far too many songs about love between two humans, and far too few songs about love we all have for science/knowledge.

Anyone know any good songs that are:

1-good music (this is important--nearly all about science songs I've found are really not very good music)

2-about science

3-not for little children

???

Thanks...but actually I've just become distracted and am now watching Hawking (the real one) interviews.

One of my favorite quotes of his (about the process of science):

"It's much better to travel hopefully than to arrive"

Actually, I've lost the desire to find science music. Unlike romantic love, I think it is above being put into words.

It was meant more as a joke anyway - but the MC Hawking stuff is rather amusing to listen to once or twice.

Ah well. It is amusing to listen to.

You should check out So Many Dynamos. (Notice how nerdy even their name is?).

It's GREAT music. Angular, dancey, and LOUD!

OK, it's not exactly about science, but there are enough science-related references to keep me excited. I think the other themes that appear in their music might appeal you INTPs as well: technical aspects of music, environmental issues, political/social/religious commentary, natural disasters...

It's definitely not for children. A lot of their songs are about violence (but in a fun way :)

Particularly science-y songs are:

Ah, that is fantastic!
That song soothes me.
I'm about to make some ringtones for my iphone and I'm curious who I could set that song to. Hmmm..... :confused:
