Competition Results

The competition was to rewrite one of Britney Spears songs to include a scientific or technical principle in an amusing manner. It is a matter of little debate that you need more than one entry to make a competition. However, in this case our singular entry was rather funny. For those that don't know, it is a rewrite of 'Oops I Did It Again.'

As a further example of the talent required to write scientific lyrics. I would like to share these superb lyrics from an anarchic comedy show called Alexi Sayle's stuff.
And also the Galaxy Song from The Meaning of Life

Oh bugger, bugger, bugger it!
Oh bugger, bugger, bugger it!

I think I did it again,
Those chemical jars, their labels are scarred,
Oh bugger,
It could be anything,
But it doesn't mean that it's not Napthalene
'Cause to lose all my senses,
That is just so typically me,
Oh bugger, bugger!

Oops, I spilled it again,
It burned through the door,
Made holes in the floor,
Oh bugger, bugger
Oops, you think I am sane,
That's not why I'm drinking this stuff,
I just got my doctorate!

You see, my problem is this
I'm high on bunsen gas,
I wish I never did that experiment,
I cry, rubbing my eyes,
With hands that haven't been washed in days.
But to lose all my senses,
That is just so typically me,
Oh bugger bugger,
Oops, the doc did it again,
He got the wrong gas ,
And used it en masse,
Oh bugger, bugger,
Shit, it's SO₂,
And it's falling from above
He's not damned innocent!

Oh bugger, bugger, bugger it!
Oh bugger, bugger, bugger it!
"Gather round!"
"Now, before you go, there's one more experiment to show you"
"Wow, it's beautiful, but wait a minute, isn't this..."
"Yes, yes it is."
"But I thought eating this stuff killed you..."
"Well, it does, and now you'll die"
"Oh, I shouldn't have!"

Oops, I ate it again, I don't know why,
Got lost in my lunch, oh bugger
Oops, you're coming from above
I'm not finished the experiment!

Oops, I spilled it again,
It burned through the door, Made holes in the floor,
Oh bugger, bugger
Oops, you think I am sane,
That's not why I'm drinking this stuff,
I just got my doctorate!
Oops, the doc did it again,
He got the wrong gas And used it en masse,
Oh bugger, bugger, Shit, it's SO₂,
And it's falling from above
