about

A hip-hopping ode to science geekdom. If you've ever dissed the scientific validity of a supposed cinematic masterpiece, or broke off a relationship because the person viewed your obsession with dinosaurs as childish and trite, we salute you!

lyrics

(chorus)
I’m a science geek
Yeah, I’m a science geek
Got my spectacles
Perched up on my beak
I’m a science geek
Yeah, I’m a science geek
And I’ll make the nerve-endings
In your knees grow weak

Chillin’ in my crib and I’m watching Nova
Two part special Curiosity Rover
Wrapped in my JPL pullover
The Meebs call up and say “We’re coming over!”

Mr. M. and Mr. J
Roll up in the 81 Chevrolet
Mr. M’s got shotgun, I hop in the back
Mr. J throws on a dope Amoeba People track

Do we roll to the club? NO!
Hit a soiree? NO!
Show up uninvited
To fancy partay? NO!

Last time that happened
Things got a bit cray
Mr. Mosley ejected
Mr. Jordan got tased

Where we’re going
We don’t need any roads
No key for entry,
No secret codes

We’re heading out of town
Where the sky we will scour
Cause tonight there’s gonna be
And epic meteor shower!

(chorus)

The other night I went to
A movie theater
Snuck in a capri sun
From my refrigerator

Got the popcorn
Two pumps of the butter
Unlimited refills
Should I want another

The movie’s in progress
So I find a seat
I turn to my neighbor and say,
“Hey, this’ll be a treat!

“Apparently this cinematic
Work of science fiction (shh)
Is Scientifically plausible
In it’s depiction (shh!!)

“I love it when they try to
Keep the science legit (SHHH!!)
Like the one where Matt Damon
Grew potatoes with (SHHHHHHH!!)”

An tap from the usher,
And then, the unexpected:
“This ain’t your living room, sir,
You’re being ejected!”

(chorus)

I went out on a date
The other night
To a place that inspires
Prehistoric delight

I love me some fossils
So I took her to see em
And drove us to
The Natural History Museum

Hey, there’s a dinosaur!
Ooh, there’s a dinosaur!
Look, there’s a dinosaur!
Everywhere’s a dinosaur!

I said isn’t this amazing
And to my surprise
She said, "Yeah, I guess."
And rolled her eyes!

“This place is so gross
And dank and dark.
They looked a lot better
In Jurassic Park.

I mean, who even cares
About a dinosaur?”
And that’s why I don’t
Date that girl no more!

Ohhhh!!!

(chorus)
