NotanOriginalName Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 If there were an Anthem for science and science lovers,What would it be?
imatfaal Posted January 25, 2012 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
tomgwyther Posted January 25, 2012 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
John Cuthber Posted January 25, 2012 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
CharonY Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 I prefer the muppet lyrics to the original one by Schiller, though.
iNow Posted January 26, 2012 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

Schrödinger's hat Posted March 8, 2012 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

I didn't know that either, I will have to check it out when I'm not at work
JohnStu Posted April 25, 2012 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.
the asinine cretin Posted April 25, 2012 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? Edited April 25, 2012 by the asinine cretin 1
