about
"What is Richard Feynman's most notable legacy? Pioneering nanotechnology? A Nobel Prize in Physics for quantum electrodynamics? Assisting in the A-Bomb construction? No. It's definitely having his very own graphic novel biography adapted into original music." -GeekChicDaily

We started in January 2009 playing songs written in response to Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions. We haven't stopped ... more since. We've written & performed songs inspired by everything from "On The Origin of Species" to Dr. Seuss to Raymond Carver. There are BBCs popping up nationwide now. Bushwick Book Club Seattle started in 2010 & is run by Geoff Larson. Our nerdy dare-devilry knows no bounds. less

He Was a Scientist
(By Cecil Scheib and Josh Bisker)
His first wife had a really sad incurable disease
He knew it but he didn’t run he stayed by her bedside
That’s not an engineer, my friends,
That’s pure as science: love
And when she died her hair smelled just the same.
He was a scientist.
He kept her memories.
And when he fell in love
He knew his heart like a computer run
On beach sand with him you will get some new and bright ideas
Find a bride, pay a bribe and you will stay together years
Tickle her dragon’s tail, my friend
She’ll love you for your quirks
Remember it’s the way that nature works
He was a scientist
Made her his live-in maid
And when he fell in love
He broke the law so that his wife could come
The key to any code is disregard and curiosity
They’ll lock you up but a mind alive will learn to wander free
He’ll open all that’s locked, my friends,
Your safes, your minds, your hearts
That madman, he’s a danger to us all
He was a scientist
Domestic terrorist?
And when he fell in love,
He saw how life and light themselves begun
A legend in his life,
Gave up the northern lights,
Had Sex with Sally Ride,
Feynman - Track Name: Sweet Soubrette - An Electron Emits a Photon, Travels Backwards in Time
-
Not going to simplify gonna tell it like it is
If you don’t like it find another place to live
It’s all photons and electrons over and over again
The laws that apply are self-evident don’t make any sense
There’s a lot of stuff we don’t understand
See the universe in a grain of sand
But our theories don’t explain gravity
Or the things we see when we go to sleep
An electron emits a photon, travels backwards in time
Richard Feynman writes a letter to his dead wife
He says: I tried to show you the tapes that I made
But there were delays and I was too late
It doesn’t matter if you like this game
More in heaven and earth than any scientist can name
The great mystery of life is how can any body know
Of all the paths it could take where’s it gonna go honey even though
We can calculate probabilities
We imagine the possibilities
But the gods they play their celestial chess
We don’t understand we just take a guess
An electron emits a photon, travels backwards in time
Richard Feynman writes a letter to his dead wife
He says: Please excuse me for not mailing this
But I don’t know your new address
Now write this down in indelible ink
What do you care about what other people think
What seems impossible is just a state of mind
An electron emits a photon travels back in time
Travels back in time travels back in time... - Track Name: Susan Hwang - Tap At It Light
-
Are you looking for an idea?
Go to the beach go to the beach
Are you looking for the answer to helium?
Go to the beach go to the beach
Because it doesn’t get any easier the more you try.
You’ll get the answer to your problem
When you tap at it light.
Tap tap at it light
If it doesn’t make you laugh, you’re not doing it right.
Nature is messy, absurd.
If you don’t like it, go find yourself another universe, tap tap.
Tap at it light.
If you want to solve the problem of helium,
Just fight the urge to fight for an idea.
The more you chase them, the more they seem to flee ya’.
You work and you work for the things you want to know
But the pounding at the problems only seems to make them grow.
If it’s getting the better of you, then better let it go.
If the decision is hard, then decide not to decide.
It’s better to tap at it light.
Tap tap at it light…
What do you care what people think.
People will do what they’re gonna.
Politics and people stink.
They’re all mugga wugga mugga wugga….
Tap tap at it light.
Nature has always been a mess
That’s just how it has to be.
Even Feynman did confess
He couldn’t explain gravity… tap tap tap at it light
But he knew enough to never
Self torture with remorse.
And he knew that the answer is nothing to be forced
If you don’t care what you accomplish, you can do it all for fun
Crack a safe or Quantum Electrodynamics
Just to prove it can be done.
Tap tap at it light…
If it doesn’t make you laugh you’re not doing it right
Nature is messy, absurd
If you don’t like, go find yourself another universe tap tap
Tap at it light.
To get what you're after,
the question is never
what to feel but what to do,
checking the circumstances still match too.
Oh Joan, can I call you back. I just discovered a new law of nature that no one else knows. It feels great. - Track Name: Natti Vogel - The Wrong Girl
-
I just left my lips with the wrong girl
Even a kiss is flavorless with the wrong girl
Though my heart has jumped ship,
It wouldn't be democratic if I were to swim ashore to the right girl
It's a prisoner's dilemma
But I'm gonna get her
She makes these fetters
Weigh a pound of feathers
I close my eyes and pretend I'm with the right girl
But even a kiss is treacherous with the wrong girl
I never had a problem with bread and butter
'Til your caviar
They're starving in Africa
Won't you think about the children
So I'll steal a glance past the neck of the wrong girl to pierce the graceful guise of the right girl
