The Sound of Stirring
Another cheesey organic chem song
A tribute no doubt to Paul Simon

haha very nice! I love it. It is to bad they couldn't get some others to do this professionally - even though this is pretty good.
I'd like to see this one done professionally... http://musicalchemistry.jimdo.com/organic-songs/killer-benze...
I guess for what they are at least, this song is pretty good too.. http://faculty.washington.edu/crowther/Misc/Songs/MP3/erica....

Being a fan of good ole Slade I liked this:
It would be good to see it performed.
So here it is, Oxidation
Are you setting up your Quick-Fit on the desk?
It’s the time that every chemist makes a mess,
Do you light the Bunsen burner?
Do you add the ethanol?
Does it look as though it’s boiled out of control…?!
So here it is, oxidation; our reaction’s down the drain;
Look at the mess we’ve made - we’ll have to start aga-aa-aaiin!!
Are you waiting to distil the aldehyde?
Are you sure your alcohol’s been oxidised?
Does it form a silver mirror?
Does it turn dichromate green?
Does it form precipitates with hydrazines?!
So here it is, oxidation; our reaction’s down the drain;
Look at the mess we’ve made - we’ll have to start aga-aa-aain!!
What do you do when you realise you never added the anti-bumping stuff - aah-haa-aaa!
Are you setting up your Quick-Fit on the desk?
Are you hoping your dichromate’s in excess?
Do you heat it under reflux,
With some H2SO4?
Does your pear-shaped flask go crashing to the floor…??
So here it is, oxidation; our reaction’s down the drain;
Look at the mess we’ve made - we’ll have to start aga-aa-aaain…!!!
Lyrics Aimee Hartnell Dec 99

Sadly I did not stay - only for dinner I think... though it was many years ago.
But it was very nice at night by the harbor I recall 
... and maybe I had the crab!

It is pretty down by the harbour with all the lights on.
