| Parody Song Title: | "The Laboratorag" |
| Parody Written by: | Katharine Dickson |
I'm a neuroscientist and this is my little song about what goes on in the laboratory.
First you take some knockout mice
Into ova genes we splice
Bug the government to grant some
Money in ye sum so handsome
Western blots and protein gels
Nuclei of mutant cells
What's the principal investigator keep in the refrigerator
Doing the laboratorag
Zebrafish whose genes we're after
Drosophila melanogaster
Neuron pathways intertwining
And the cell's bilipid lining
We have monkeys in their cages
Watch out for our macrophages
Two, four, six, eight
Come on, let's phosphorylate
DNA adrenaline
Protease and thiamine
Dopamine, aldosterone
Cytosine - testosterone
RNA and ATP
Glucose and cAMP
And genes and brains and guts and cells
And lots and lots a protein gels
Doing the laboratorag
Into ova genes we splice
Bug the government to grant some
Money in ye sum so handsome
Western blots and protein gels
Nuclei of mutant cells
What's the principal investigator keep in the refrigerator
Doing the laboratorag
Zebrafish whose genes we're after
Drosophila melanogaster
Neuron pathways intertwining
And the cell's bilipid lining
We have monkeys in their cages
Watch out for our macrophages
Two, four, six, eight
Come on, let's phosphorylate
DNA adrenaline
Protease and thiamine
Dopamine, aldosterone
Cytosine - testosterone
RNA and ATP
Glucose and cAMP
And genes and brains and guts and cells
And lots and lots a protein gels
Doing the laboratorag

Excellente mi intellegente! Love the scientific jargon.... very informative and true to the original
This is excellent, though it does deviate from the OS a bit towards the end (he says, as a graduate biochemist and the second person on amiright to parody this song). :-)
