JD - Scienterrific! I'm a sucker for science parodies. Well done. Hey maybe we could get an album up using some of mine and some of yours on MP3. This rocks!
Thanks Guy! So you're thinking of a "Science Parody Album", eh? Sounds like a fun idea. I'm not a musician though, except for my singing voice...but I take your idea as a compliment...thanks again.
Makes me glad I never went to grad school. Little known fact: The original was done by (a later version of) the Byrds.
Thanks for the info, Steve - I must admit I didn't know that. I love the original song...it's an ingenious synthesis of head-bangin' hard-drivin' rock music with good ol' gospel.
Steve, just to clarify my previous comment - when I said that I love the original song, I am referring to the hard-rock version by The Doobie Brothers. I haven't heard the version you mentioned (by the later version of The Byrds), but now you've got me curious...
Good one!
Thank you, Meriadoc!
Ah, you've struck a chord... I'm sending this one to my dissertation committee. Great work.
Good luck with your dissertation Leah...and thank you very much.
I've got one dissertation theme coming...I posted it last night so hopefully by tomorrow...
Wow, this song pretty much describes my life right now, I'm glad to know that someone out there understands. Great parody!
Thesis a damned clever parody, seen-yoor! 555
Thanks, anthrogirl - good luck with your thesis/dissertation!
Thanks Agrimorfee - wee don' need no steenkin' badges!
