It's Science Week here at CBC Music, and we've lined up a ton of fascinating stories about the physics of sound and the age-old musical questions. We're kicking the week off with the best science songs ever!
You don't have to be a rocket scientist to write a great song, but you should know a few things if you're going to write a song about science. Some of our picks use music to illustrate scientific principles, some use science as a lyrical metaphor and others just say a bunch of scientific-sounding words as quickly as possible. We've assembled 20 favourites in the gallery above.
Check them out and let us know if there are any science songs we missed. Tweet us @CBCMusic. And check out the Science Week page for more updates throughout the week.
