PCR Song!

Ali — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 15:05:36 +0000

Those of you who have something to do with biology know the importance of PCR in molecular biology today, for those of you who don’t know what Polymerase Chain Reaction is (or don’t care), in short one can say PCR did the same thing to Molecular Biology research that Transistor did to electronics! This is a video-song called PCR song, watching it you can also know a bit more what PCR can do! The song was made as an advertisement for Bio-Rad PCR machines and similar to USA for Africa song! In the rest of this post I also attach the Lyrics. Here you can find the original video and download it. I like it when at the end one of the guys is dancing with a PCR machine! )

The PCR Song
There was a time when to amplify DNA,
You had to grow tons and tons of tiny cells.
Then along came a guy named Dr. Kary Mullis,
Said you can amplify in vitro just as well.
Just mix your template with a buffer and some primers,
Nucleotides and polymerases, too.
Denaturing, annealing, and extending.
Well it’s amazing what heating and cooling and heating will do.

PCR, when you need to detect mutations.
PCR, when you need to recombine.
PCR, when you need to find out who the daddy is.
PCR, when you need to solve a crime.
(repeat chorus)

Kary Mullis, the one who developed PCR

Iran So Far!

Andy Samberg with the help of Maroon 5’s Adam Levine performed this song on Saturday Night Live, “Iran So Far”. I’ve got no comments on this one. It is really funny, and the music is also really good. Watch the video here and read the lyrics in the rest of this post.

YouTube has removed the video because of copyright issues, but if you want to watch it you can still find it, just search in YouTube, using the Keyword “Iran so Far”.

SNL’s “Iran So Far” Lyrics

They say true love comes only once in a lifetime
and even though we’re from opposite ends of the earth,
my heart tells me you’re the one for me.
Mahmoud

I remember when it started, saw you on the news
you were hating gays, I was eating food
but I was feeling you, and even though I disagreed with almost everything you said
you aint wrong to me, so strong to me, you belong to me
Like a very hairy Jake Gyllenhaal to me
Mahmoud make my heart beat right out of my chest
my mind says no but my body says yes
Nuclear threat, the only threat I see
is the threat of you not coming home with me.
Our love for each other’s like when atoms collide
Can’t express how I feel
Ay yo Adam let’s ride

And Iran, Iran so far away
is your home, but in my heart you’ll stay

He ran, for the president of Iran
we ran together to a tropical island
my man, Mahmoud is known for rilin’
smiling, if he can still do it then I can
they call you weasel, they say your methods are medieval
you can play the Jews I can be your Jim Caviezel
S&M, nestlin’ when we’re wrestlin’
You can be the port that I park my vessel in
So I try to mute the tv but you can still see me
with your sleepy brown eyes, butter pecan thighs
And your hairy butt…
Yeah.

And Iran, Iran so far away
come home, and in my arms you’ll stay

Used to look at the stars and dream
round the world same stars were seen
And a twinkle in your eyes Mahmoud.
Talk smooth to me, without a tie
your pants high waisted, damn so fly.
We can take a trip to the animal zoo
and laugh at all the funny things that animals do
Like Eugene (Levy) you got me straight trippin’ boo
hope you look in my eyes and say I’m trippin’ too
you say Iran don’t have the bomb but they already do
you should know by now, it’s you.

And Iran, Iran so far away
is your home, but in my heart you’ll stay

You crazy for this one Mahmoud
you can deny the holocaust all you want
but you can’t deny that there’s something between us
I know you say there’s no gays in Iran
but you’re in New York now baby
it’s time to stop hiding,
and start living

Serj Tankian’s new single

Ali — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 17:34:32 +0000

I am a fan of System of a Down. Unfortunately at the moment they’re not going to give out a new album but they are working solo. On their homepage you can listen to all their songs and read their lyrics. I think my favorite are Hypnotize, BYOB and Lonely Day. Serj Tankian has a great new single called “empty walls” which you can watch the video and listen to it on his homepage. I will also post the video and the lyrics of this song in this post.
He has recently formed a non-profit organization with Tom Morello of Audioslave called Axis of Justice. Its purpose is to bring together musicians, fans of music, and grassroots political organizations to fight for social justice together.

Empty Walls
Serj Tankian Lyrics

Your empty walls
Your empty walls
Pretentious adventures
Dismissive apprehension
Dont waste your time
On coffins today
When we decline
From the confines of our mind
Dont waste your time
On coffins today

Dont you see their bodies burning
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication
Dont you see their bodies burning
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

I want you to be left behind those empty walls
Taught you to see from behind those empty walls

Those empty walls
When we decline
From the confines of our mind
Dont waste your time
On coffins today

I want you to be left behind those empty walls
Taught you to see from behind those empty walls

Want you to be left behind those empty walls
I taught you to see from behind those empty walls

From behind those empty walls
From behind those empty walls
The walls
From behind those empty walls

I left you yesterday
Before you killed my family

I want you to be left behind those empty walls
Taught you to see from behind those empty walls

I want you to be left behind those empty walls
I taught you to see from behind those empty walls

From behind those empty walls
From behind those fucking walls
From behind those god damn walls
Those walls
Those walls
