If I can do it (with the limited skills that I have) then so can others. So the request this time is: can you write us a science song?
Let me know if you've got one, and I'll try and compile a catalog here, with links to the mp3 and corresponding post that may have a story or lyrics, etc. You can even transfer tracks, so that collaborative efforts are done. Anyway, I'll start a track listing with my own little attempt:

The micro-SD flash memory chip that came with my new smartphone has some interesting issues with data integrity. I mostly use it to store sound files in the mp3 format, both pop songs of a few MB each and podcasts taking up tens of megabytes.

I have uploaded the full mp3 of my appearance on the Jim Babka Show from June 26th, 2005 for anyone interested to download. On that show, we discussed the Kelo eminent domain case.
How long are you going to keep this challenge going?
'Cause I've got a song, and I've even got a ukulele, but I've got no chops, so it's going to take me a few weeks of practice to get it to a recordable state. (And it's going to be lo-fi, because I'm on a Windows machine with a cheap condenser mic.)
Hi HP, No rush on this. If others come in, I'll try highlight them as they come.

What if you can't play an instrument and can't sing very well, but can write lyrics?
I pulled something out of storage and posted it in case you're interested. I do sort of have a melody in mind, but it's probably plagiarized ...
Anybody wants to set this to music, feel free.
I can't write you one, but Flanders and Swann have a ditty about the first and second law of thermodynamics you migh want to check out...link
Here's an excerpt from Astrophysical Blues:

anyone interested can contact me via the site and I'll send the .MP3 for *free*
Meanwhile ... I'll be in the lab cooking up an ode to MALDI

Have you seen The Guild of Scientific Troubadours?

The idea being to write songs about science primary literature. I wish I had musical talent, or I'd post songs here and there.
