      There are lots of songs that have science-y words in them. Proper scientific theories are a bit harder to get into songs, the only one that comes into my head is Moby – We Are All Made of Stars, which is true! All elements heavier than Hydrogen had be formed by stars. And of course there’s the theme song to The Big Bang Theory too 😉

      There must be loads but I don’t know any apart from the Moby one. I guess they’re not the most successful ones that make it big!
