Physics Pholk Songs

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

Check this out!
It includes-
Brother Robert W. Harris: 7 physics Christmas carols, including midi (piano) files and lyrics. Topics include gravity, refraction, and photons. (My favorite: "Oh Gravity" to the tune of "Oh Christmas Tree".)

Steve Kalafut: Lyrics for 1 song about how hard it is to learn Maxwell's equations (set to "Maxwell's Silver Hammer", by the Beatles)

Ton Chan and Ken Ferrier: 2 songs: "Mathematical Pi"(mp3 .. lyrics & chords, set to "Bye, Bye, Miss American Pie") and "The Sound of Friction" (mp3, set to "The Sound of Silence). These are really quite funny. Ken is married to the sister of Lindsay Barton, co-writer of "Physics 213 is Amazin'" !! These songs are hosted by AllTooFlat.com, a self-proclaimed "dorky website" which features (among many other things) scientist trading cards!

Hi JJJ

These tunes are excellent (dorky) but still excellent. We could have these catchy ditties playing over the PA at the Border Stargaze.

Many thanks for sharing.

Cheers Petra

LOL!! (to Jingle Bells)

Gravity, Gravity,
Keeps us on the ground.
It was explained by Newton,
(The scientist renowned)!
Gravity, Gravity,
Mass times nine-point-eight.
Is a vector pointing down,
That's sometimes known as "weight."
