    I had a teacher who was doing Dark Vador but never a teacher doing something like that. Is the song really helping to remember ? I can't understand the subject ('cause my english level) but I suppose it's biochem (tag) ? Anyway, my first feeling is that it could be a good teacher because he's not afraid of being "silly" in front of his students.

    He's an awesome teacher, and really cares that we do well! The song just mostly serves as a reminder for the main topics we covered in class. And yes, it's a biochemistry course. Biochemistry is the study of chemical processes in living organisms.... so we learned about how molecules are broken down in the body and what they are used for. It's a neat subject!

    here are the lyrics:

    If you want to have a lot of energy (En-er-gy)
    You had better make a lot of ATP (A-T-P)
    I will only tell you once
    You need proton gradients
    And a bunch of starting stuff like ADP (A-D-P)

    If you hanker for a sweet thing you can taste (You can taste)
    And your Atkins diet book has been misplaced (been misplaced)
    You should know adrenalin
    Is an aid to getting thin
    Putting phosphates onto enzymes trims your waist (trims your waist)

    If you're feeling kind of achy in your ways (in your ways)
    And that hangover has hung around for days ('round for days)
    You should know you silly dear
    Pain does not come from your beer
    Prostaglandin's made by PGH synthase (H synthase)

    There are acids in the bile that make up gall (make up gall)
    Which emulsify triacylglyerol (glycerol)
    If your health is gone to hell
    You should blame the LDLs
    'Cause they carry all of that cholesterol (lesterol??)

    Some phosphates and a sugar on a base (on a base)
    Make up C's and G's and U's or T's and A's (T's and A's)
    You can make a DNA
    Or a strand of RNA
    If you add a template and polymerase (lymerase??)

    If you want to ace this test with utmost ease (utmost ease)
    You don't really have to get down on your knees (on your knees)
    And you need not say a prayer
    So please don't pull out your hair
    Just go download QuickTimes or the MP3s (MP3s)

    Wow ! It remembers me old things I've learned some years ago (probably only the most common things). I don't understand how I've doubt about the subject with a link in the caption, ahah !
  • Maria 1 year ago
    Hahaha! I thought I'd add in the words since it's a little hard to hear and understand in a big lecture hall.
  • Perez 1 year ago
    ahahaha old memories from high school (specially the ATP and krebs cycle!)

    Has he ever done a song over vitamins? I've got an exam over that on Wednesday.
  • Maria 1 year ago
    I just looked on his website, and I didn't see anything for vitamins... I'll make the suggestion. Good luck on your test!
