Awesomely Hilarious and Educational Science Songs

For those of you who enjoyed They Might Be Giants' version of "Istanbul, Not Constantinople," you will surely enjoy the science-inspired song by TMBG entitled "Bloodmobile"....click the link below to hear the song and view a brief video about the human circulatory system.

Also in the science vein (no pun intended), St. Joseph's aspirin has a new commercial at their website, which depicts the process medicine (like aspirin) takes through the body. Click on "Pump Your Blood" commercials and then Verse 1 in the small pop-up window.

Older science education songs can also be found at http://www.acme.com/jef/science_songs/. Be sure to check out the space, weather, and nature songs--they're my favorites!
