There's Science In Music (Oh Yeah)

by Bill Nye

It's vibrations
Sonic sensations
That rattle the air in a wave we can ride
A wave of emotion
I've got a notion
It's a journey we take through our eardrums inside

So just what you're sayin' is
The music I'm playin' is
Is making it's way in
To my tiny brain?

It's really astounding
When the music is pounding
It's all just lovely patterns of sound

There's science in music, oh yeah
There's science in music, oh yeah

Vibrations leap through the air
And they get into your ear
Every culture has music
And the pattern is clear
The thunderous beatin' of drums
The rootin'-tootin' of reeds
And blowin' blastin' of brass
And twangy plucking of strings

There's science in music, oh yeah
There's science in music, oh yeah

It's just so filled with emotion
It's sound waves in motion
Music makes us cry, then makes us laugh
Or makes us feel tense, or filled with suspense
By music inflected
Our sense is affected

There's science in music, oh yeah
There's science in music, oh yeah

Music can affect you emotionally
It can even make you react physically
Whenever I hear that funky sound
I just gotta throw my body around
My heart starts thumpin', my brain starts to groove
And before I know it, my feet start to move!

There's science in music, oh yeah
There's science in music, oh yeah
There's science in music, oh yeah

I love this song by Bill Nye The Science Guy.
I didn't even know that Bill Nye could sing.
He's a great Scientist and a singer
