Does anyone know any other good scientifiic songs to add to my playlist? I currently have these:







I listen to them 3 times a day each; When I wake up, some other time through the day when I feel like it, and before I go to sleep :)

I would like to have a playlist full of songs similar to these, thanks :woot:

These are more funny science-based parodies than educational. You might need to have worked in a biology lab to fully appreciate the second video:

These aren't too modern, but they were great for kids. I grew up with them - part of the reason I became an engineer. I guess they're back in print too. And as is pointed out at the bottom of the linked page, don't forget Tom Lehrer's "The Elements".

While not exactly a song, this is the title track from a Vangelis Album
