If You’re Molecular and Know it, Clap Your Hands

(To the tune of “If You’re Happy and You Know It, Clap Your Hands”)

If you want to have a lot of energy (En-er-gy)
You had better make a lot of ATP (A-T-P)
I will only tell you once
You need proton gradients
And a bunch of starting stuff like ADP (A-D-P)

If you hanker for a sweet thing you can taste (You can taste)
And your Atkins diet book has been misplaced (been misplaced)
You should know adrenalin
Is an aid to getting thin
Putting phosphates onto enzymes trims your waist (trims your waist)

If you’re feeling kind of achy in your ways (in your ways)
And that hangover has hung around for days (‘round for days)
You should know you silly dear
Pain does not come from your beer
Prostaglandin’s made by PGH synthase (H synthase)

There are acids in the bile that make up gall (make up gall)
Which emulsify triacylglyerol (glycerol)
If your health is gone to hell
You should blame the LDLs
‘Cause they carry all of that cholesterol (lesterol??)

Some phosphates and a sugar on a base (on a base)
Make up C’s and G’s and U’s or T’s and A’s (T’s and A’s)
You can make a DNA
Or a strand of RNA
If you add a template and polymerase (lymerase??)

If you want to ace this test with utmost ease (utmost ease)
You don’t really have to get down on your knees (on your knees)
And you need not say a prayer
So please don’t pull out your hair
Just go download QuickTimes or the MP3s (MP3s)

Where is the Sunshine?

(To the tune of “You Are My Sunshine”)

Tomorrow’s forecast is rather gloomy
It starts with showers and ends with rain

The Vision Thing

Did you know you can see?
In the dimmest of light

Around the Nucleus

(To the tune of “Across the Universe)

DNA gets spooled like balls of yarn
Within the chromosomes

Gaia

(To the tune of “If I Had a Hammer”)

When he bought his Hummer
He revved it in the driveway

Make It Stop

(To the tune of “Let It Snow”)

So the forecast says much more raining
It’s of this that I’m complaining

Benny Beaver Genome Song

(To the tune of “Red River Valley”)

In Corvallis a lovable mascot
Wonders why he’s the way that he is

No Hair Man

(To the tune of “Nowhere Man”)

He’s a real no-hair man
Wishing he had more hair, man

Oh Glaucoma!

(To the tune of “Oklahoma!”)

Oh glaucoma!
You reduce the vision of our eyes

Early morning
In the bedroom

The Time It Is a Changin’

Come listen up folks in the US of A
Who may notice that winter is going away

Thank God There’s a Video

(To the tune of “Thank God I’m a Country Boy”)

There’s a bundle of things that a student oughta know
And Ahern’s talk isn’t really very slow

Prostate!

(To the tune of “YMCA”)

PROSTATE!
Swollen in my inside
