Entropy Lyrics
<i>Lyrics by Jack Micay</i>
(<b><u>Mike in a deep voice</u></b>)
Galileo, Netwon, Watt, they were genuises all.
Without them we'd be freezing in the dark at the mall.
James Joule found total energy remains the same
(<b><u>Murray</u></b>)
No matter what it's form.
(<b><u>Mike</u></b>)
That's why it carries his name.
(<b><u>Jian</b></u>)
A chemical, electrical, potential and heat,
Radiant, kinetic, ooh the list is incomplete.
They're always changing back and forth
It's really quite a blur
(<b><u>Murray</u></b>)
oh, how could he?
(<b><u>Jian</u></b>)
I've forgotten nuclear!
(<b><u>All</u></b>)
Ride a barrel down the falls
Then cook spaghetti with meatballs.
Really make your friends amazed.
Nuke it with some gamma rays.
Fly to Venus in a rocket.
Put your finger in a socket.
You may suffer from exhaust,
But none of that energy is ever really lost.
(<u><b>Murray</u></b>)
Then why can't we make a clean machine that moves perpetually?
Cause there's another law with which all energy must agree.
Whenever it changes form, it loses quality
(<b><u>Dave</u></b>)
in other words...
(<b><u>Murray</u></b>)
Down/Damn that rising entropy!
(<b><u>Dave</u></b>)
It's entropy you see that turns finess into mess
A palace to a pig-stye why it's simply scandalous!
Energy once neat degenerates into waste heat (We must repeat.)
Because of entropy.
Galileo, Netwon, Watt, they were genuises all.
Without them we'd be freezing in the dark at the mall.
James Joule found total energy remains the same
(<b><u>Murray</u></b>)
No matter what it's form.
(<b><u>Mike</u></b>)
That's why it carries his name.
A chemical, electrical, potential and heat,
Radiant, kinetic, ooh the list is incomplete.
They're always changing back and forth
It's really quite a blur
(<b><u>Murray</u></b>)

(<b><u>Jian</u></b>)
I've forgotten nuclear!

Then cook spaghetti with meatballs.
Really make your friends amazed.

I'm firmly of the belief that the scientific concept of entropy needs to be incorporated into our philosophical system if we're going to move forward as a society.
MF's Entropy song makes a stab at it, showing how the idea of entropy translates on a macroscopic level, perhaps not as a scientific law, but certainly as a principle to consider. But it's silly rather than serious about the idea... so you're best off considering this song as just a non sequitur song rather than as a song with an important philosophical message. Or perhaps as a didactic song for children, though I wonder if any science teachers have actually played this song for their students.
