The Conduction Band (For the Nerds)

Somehow, I came across the site of The Conduction Band, which as my most savvy readers will guess, a band of physicists out of my alma mater's (older and prettier) sister school, UIUC.

Although I haven't actually listened to any of their songs, they seem to be modified covers with physics grad school lyrics. To wit, their version of Stayin Alive

You can tell by the way I brush my hair.
I'm a physics grad. I just don't care.
Rolling out of bed, I throw on my clothes.
I don't bother to wash. I just hold my nose.

It's all right. It's okay. We all smell here anyway.
Please don't try to understand. We take data all we can.

Whether you're a theorist or whether you'll be jobless
You'll be stayin' alive, stayin' alive
See the first years bailing, everybody emailing
Yeah, we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive

I also appreciated their Take Qual an' Fail

Back in my physics days, we had a theoretical band called "Green-Go", which never made it passed theory.

There's also the hilarious (and extremely nerdy) MC Hawking.

Finally, I've always wanted to become a rapper named MC Squared. Oh, to sleep, perchance to dream....
