Last December I did
a cover of The Barenaked Ladies singing The Big Bang Theory theme song. For
this month I decided not to play a song but to instead find one on YouTube
perfect for the theme of Science. I’ve mentioned these guys here before
(they’re one of my favorite albeit strangest musical groups ever) but today at
TI&IT I’m just going to let you experience them for yourself.
In 2009 the band
released a children’s CD geared toward helping younger kids understand Science
better. The goal is lofty, and lends itself to quite a few difficulties, but
from the standpoint of a fellow musician, I feel they accomplished this task
with aplomb. I have personally listened to almost everything off the album and
I have but what thing to say about it.
Even I learned
something.
From their catchy
tunes about the color spectrum of Rainbows (Roy G. Biv) to catchy (and often
ridiculous and humorous) jingles like “Meet the Elements” and “The Ballad of
Davey Crockett (In Outer Space)” they cover everything in the realm well, with
toe-tapping melodies to get your kids singing along.
While Davey didn’t
take a trip to outer space that song is just intended to be fun. The others on
the album like the topic of this blog, are aimed at teaching kids. Don’t
believe me? Check out the video below for “Why Does the Sun Shine? (The Sun is
a Mass of Incandescent Gas)” and thanks for reading!
