Opposites Attract

by Bill Nye

on Growing, Pains (1997)

People talk about attraction
It's all about magnetism action
Picks up a paper clip and if you want a tip
Magnetism even plays a part in microchips
To make your computer spin
Thats where information begins
Magnets work in a vacuum
I think we can assume
They can pull metal things across the room
You talk about magnetic lines
See opposites attract, that's fine

Opposites attract
Opposites attract
Opposites attract
Opposites attract

Charged particles are moving all around
Moving with the film, doesn't even make a sound
Using navigation magnets help us find a way
A compass points magnetic north, at any time of day
Our moon has no magnetic pull, but other planets do
The sun has its sun spots, those are magnetic too
From planet Earth, right to the sun
Are picking up a metal tonne
To making a Maglev Train run
Magnets can be a lot of fun
