NotanOriginalName Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 If there were an Anthem for science and science lovers,What would it be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imatfaal Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Ode to Joy - Beethoven. The joy of learning, understanding, and discovery - and the revelling in unbridled curiosity. Eleanor Rigby - the Beatles. Lonely, unrewarded, and often chasing a futile and misguided hope. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomgwyther Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I just typed 'Science Anthem' into Youtube, with some rather pleasing results. They're a bit cheesy, but the sentiment is wonderful. here are some of them. p.s. I've not composed an original score for a while now, not since i did this thing for NBC. I'm tempted to put something together using the lyrics from the above videos. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cuthber Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) I particularly like this suggestion "Ode to Joy - Beethoven. The joy of learning, understanding, and discovery - and the revelling in unbridled curiosity." I think this version covers the truth and beauty of science as well as any other work ever has or will. At any rate, anything but this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V83JR2IoI8k Edited January 25, 2012 by John Cuthber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharonY Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I prefer the muppet lyrics to the original one by Schiller, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNow Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) Perhaps: Or maybe: Indeed... That is perhaps the best one, really. I would have posted it myself had you not already. Edited January 26, 2012 by iNow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schrödinger's hat Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 The sun is a mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace... The sun is a miasma of incandescent plasma. The sun's not simply made out of gas: no, no no The sun is a quagmire, it's not -- made of fire- Forget what you've been told in the past! Was so happy when I saw they corrected themselves. I didn't even realise they were still putting out albums until someone linked me to the more recent stuff. Although it's arguably less catchy than the original. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnStu Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Having music for science would be like having music for blacksmithing. You can't do that without ending up having some comedy in the song. Anything too specific for a song is not a good song. Songs are all broad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the asinine cretin Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) But seriously, I'm surprised this vid hasn't been mentioned. 7.4 x 10^6 views is pretty good for any video. Democracy?
