![]() At the course-end banquet in August 2004, the Yeast Genetics Course members sang the following song. It was sung to the tune of "The Midnight Special"...
THE WORMY SPECIAL
The Wormy Special
Well you wake up in the mornin’ Hear the ding a’ dong ring Come on down to the worm course And it’s the same damn thing You wasted your three weeks And you’ve learned nothin’ new Wish you’d been down in Delbruck Where genetics is true Chorus: Let Saccharomyces cerevisiae Shine its light on you Let Saccharomyces cerevisiae Shine its ever lovin’ light on you You wish you had deletions Of every single gene RNAi is for morons The worst genetics ever seen What were you thinkin’ You thought you’d be cool But you’re a slimy little nematode An idiot and a fool Chorus Come on GENE EXPRESSION We ain’t forgot about you You ran yourselves a great plate race And beat the nematodes too You can try again next year And at the very least You will beat the lowly nematode And get crushed by the yeast Chorus Well come next summer When you’re bored and sinkin’ low Remember what we told you And where you oughta go Come on back to Cold Spring Harbor And sign up to study yeast You’ll finally have made it With the omnipotent beast Chorus Chorus Last edited by Angela Cornwell : 05-24-2006 at 05:07 PM. |
