The Molecular Shape of You Lyrics by A Capella Science

2017

[Verse 1]
A dot isn't the best way to try to sum up how electrons come and go
They are the states of a matter field that follows an equation that Dirac wrote
The Schrödinger part of the whole equation will just lead
In sub-c when it expands
Now get that Coulomb and add it in with a proton
And watch them start to dance
As hydrogen, it's like
[Pre-Chorus]
"Oh, proton, I feel your tug"
Central potential dip down, pulling on me
But I'm not falling in deep
No, that would break uncertainty
Say, oh
Electrons move too much
Slow down your pace and put that orbit on me
Come on now, follow my lead
Come, come on now, follow my lead
[Chorus]
Orbitals take the shape they do
As stable states of the quantum rules
And when a one approaches two
They combine and they're bonding
Thus, hydrogen as a rule
Is found in nature as H2
Energy configuring a molecule
Diatomically bonding
Low, high, low, high, low, high, low, high
Diatomically bonding
Low, high, low, high, low, high, low, high
Diatomically bonding
Low, high, low, high, low, high, low, high
Diatomically bonding
Energy configuring a molecule
When orbitals take the shape they do
[Verse 2]
One half spin'll give a lepton a twin
One up one down in the ground state
With S and P in quadruple degeneracy
The second shell can be filled up with eight
The higher angular powers spread out like beautiful flowers
In middle families, they come into play
Well here's a carbon with 6E
This ain't nothing tricksy
But we're gonna make some methane today
With hydrogen, it's like
[Pre-Chorus]
"Oh, atoms, I feel your tug"
Got my electrons bugged out, pulling on me
Come on now, settle 'round me
I'll hybridize to SP3
Say, oh
Carbon here's our touch
Spread out one-oh-nine-point-four-seven degrees
Come on now, follow our lead
Come, come on now, follow our lead
[Chorus]
Molecules take the shape they do
Combining states of the quantum rules
Like when a shell goes SP2
For sigma pi double bonding
And as widely as their purview
They spread out in the molecule
Look at benzene in a ring, they hold it true
Aromatically bonding
Low, high, low, high, low, high, low, high
Aromatically bonding
Low, high, low, high, low, high, low, high
Aromatically bonding
Low, high, low, high, low, high, low, high
Aromatically bonding
Look at benzene in a ring, they hold it true
When orbitals take the shape they do
[Bridge]
Come bond with me, baby, come bond
Come bond with me, baby, come bond
Come bond with me, baby, come bond
Come bond with me, baby, come bond
Come bond with me, baby, come bond
Come bond with me, baby, come bond
Come bond with me, baby, come bond
Come bond with me, baby, come bond
[Chorus]
Polymers take the shape they do
Combining base-level residues
Like RNA's ACGU
Look, they're hydrogen bonding
Peptides make a chain and group
In beta pleat sheets and corkscrews
With these secondary links, they fold and move
They're all over your body
[Outro]
Come bond with me, baby, come bond
Come bond with me, baby, come bond
(They're all over your body)
Come bond with me, baby, come bond
Come bond with me, baby, come bond
(They're all over your body)
Come bond with me, baby, come bond
Come bond with me, baby, come bond
(They're all over your body)
You're a chemical machine, it's best you knew
That molecules take the shape of you
