Topic: "Anti-Gravity Waltz" a dance tune for skeptics
Giving final exams is stressful for the students, and boring for the professor. While my Stats students were wrestling with their final exam today, I was wrestling with these lyrics. I do believe I was having more fun than my students!
Sorry that I have not commented lately on any of the many new songs posted to the forum. I got behind in my work (yes, teaching at a university is actually real work), and have not had the time to really read and play and appreciate recent postings.
After finishing all my grading (tomorrow hopefully) I can get back to bashing out the forum songs and re-join the discussions.
In the mean time - here is what has been on my mind:
Anti-Gravity WaltzJames McCormick, December 10, 2007
6/8 time, A Waltz for Skeptics
They [D]claim there's stuff called [G]"Gravity", they [D]say it's every-[A]where
They [D]say it's in the [G]w-a-t-e-r, the [D]dirt and [A]clouds and [D]air.
They [G]claim there's even [D]giant rocks, [G]spinning way up in the [A]sky . . .
They [G]think that I'll be-[D]lieve that crap, I [A]can't i-[A7]magine [D]why.
[C]"Gravi-[G]ty", [D]"Gravity",
I [C]don't be-[G]lieve what [D]I can't see.
[C]"Gravi-[G]ty", Oh [D]"Gravity",
I've [C]never [A]seen this [D]"Gravity". . [A] . . [A7] . .
This [D]"Gravity" stuff is [G]such a crock, just [D]sheer absurdi-[A]ty,
It's [D]ilde specu-[G]lation, it's [D]just a [A]th-e-o-[D]ry.
Hey, [G]all this scien-[D]tific stuff is a [G]big old pile of [A]junk . . .
And [G]I don't need an [D]expert to [A]know that [A7]it is [D]bunk.
[C]"Gravi-[G]ty", [D]"Gravity",
It's [C]just a [G]big con-[D]spiracy.
[C]"Gravi-[G]ty", Oh [D]"Gravity"
A [C]very [A]dangerous [D]fantasy. . [A] . . [A7] . .
[C]"Gravi-[G]ty", [D]"Gravity"
It's [C]just a [G]silly [D]theory
[C]"Gravi-[G]ty", Oh [D]"Gravity"
A [C]very [G]strange hy-[A]pothe-[D]ses . .
This [D]"Science" stuff is [G]out of control, a [D]great big fancy [A]bluff,
Like [D]saying people, [G]houses, and cats are [D]made with [A]"Molecule" [D]stuff.
It's [G]all so loony, [D]all so weird, it's [G]hokum through and [A]through . . .
Just [G]fancy lies from [D]fancy folk with [A]not enough [A7]work to [D]do.
[C]"Gravi-[G]ty", [D]"Gravity"
It [C]doesn't [G]make any [D]sense to me.
[C]"Gravi-[G]ty", Oh [D]"Gravity"
I [C]can't be-[G]lieve what [A]I don't [D]see.
[C]"Gravi-[G]ty", [D]"Gravity"
I'm [C]not so [G]easy to [D]fool you see
[C]"Gravi-[G]ty, Oh [D]"Gravity"
