The Nematode Blues
I must confess of being the author of the song that so rightly maligns the slimy translucent worm and those lowly students, cast-offs, who were wholly unfit for attendance in the yeast course and were reduced to attending the lowest of the CSHL offerings that summer. So without further adieu, may I present to you the song of 2003: The Nematode Blues (Sung to the tune of "Stagolee") You're sitting at the banquet It's time to hit the road You can't believe you wasted three weeks Studying the nematode Well I got news for you, You got the nematode blues You spent all of your money And all your precious time You could have been down at the yeast course And now you would be feeling fine Well I got news for you, You got the nematode blues You thought those 'todes would be useful You thought you would be cool You thought you would be smarter But now you see you were a fool Well I got news for you, You got the nematode blues Worm genetics is pathetic It might get better bye and bye But not as long as you morons Keep using RNAi Well I got news for you, You got the nematode blues So goodbye Sidney Brenner And Johnny Sulston too If you come back next summer You know what to do We're the omnipotent beast Come on and study yeast |
