Science is Real!

Post by Lili Von Shtupp » 12th Apr, '10, 09:12

The first two videos are from the recent They Might Be Giants album, Science is Real!, catchy pop songs about the planets, paleontology, chemistry and more. The last video is from TMBG's podcasts, which target the kindergarten set, and is a song that has been on regular rotation here since Wolfie was a toddler. We'll see if it warps his life or saves it...





A woman walked into a pub and asked the barman for a double entendre. So he gave it to her.

There's more on Youtube, I'm a Paleontologist, The Planets, etc, check it out.

Where's our board heretic, Joseph27? I thought the Science is Real one would be right up his alley.

Yes, I figure once we see the 3 you've posted we'll likely want to look at some of the related links that show up on You Tube.

Awesome - thanks for the message... its great to teach your kids catchy songs that make sense. I still have stupid tunes in my head from catholic school days.
"truth is a group of metaphors, metonyms, and anthropomorphisms; a sum of human relation which is poetically and rhetorically intensified, metamorphosed and adored so that after a long time it is then codified in the binding canon."
