Biocore
Hardcore refers to a hiphop style. At Stanford, the set of required courses is called the "Biocore" I think Biocore would be the appropriate genre for this song. To those who haven't heard it, "
Remember the Name" is really catchy good rap song, without any violence or misogyny that some rap songs have. It also has incredible instrumentals, and as soon as I heard the chorus, I knew I had to rewrite the song. The
original lyrics are here. You can sing this version over the instrumental version word for word. I think it turns out well.
For those of you who want to know what we're all about (in Biology)
It's like this, yo.
This is ten percent math
Twenty percent genetics
Fifteen percent concentrated bioinformatics
Five percent physics
Fifty percent nature
And a hundred percent reason to recall the nomenclature
He doesn't mind working through the night
He just wants to do research whether it's at the bench or the mic-
roscope, he works so hard he's often in the lab, alone
In spite of the fact some people think his problem is known
But fuck em, He knows the code
It's not all about the DNA, it's all about the RNA and makin some protein
Writin the story - Making sure the paper gets up
That means when he puts it down Nature's picking it up.
What is his thesis anyway?
People don't think of it much
Thought his project was absurd, now he's leaving them starstruck
Taking all opportunities given despite the fact
Cause they don't know his name, they don't read past the abstract
Pull all his data together, now the picture connects
He collaborates and helps, and now he's got his respect
The cover of science he wrote, his graduate audition
Straight out of school's he's got a Stanford faculty position
This is twenty percent smart
Eighty percent skill, a hundred percent will, to him its an art
Who'd have thought he'd be the one upstagin all the big name
No matter what field he gets into the result is always the same
Met a creationist pinhead, took him to church
Was like dude why you got the stupid biblical verse
This dude is the truth, his lab is the place to be
His fame's through the roof, he got a strip in XKCD
This is ten percent math
Twenty percent genetics
Fifteen percent concentrated bioinformatics
Five percent physics
Fifty percent nature
And a hundred percent reason to recall the nomenclature
His new lab is so slick
The other profs went on stike
Tool of the system he's not
to all the money it's a shock
He's an open-source scientist
He's a maverick, called the doc
The type foundations want to work with and pharma plans to get shot
Eight years in the making, patiently waiting to blow
Now his GM organism is transforming the globe
He's got a postdoc wih him, his stuff is equally rad
You won't believe the kind of shit that comes out of this kid's lab
He's not your average guy using blast
Finds out genes crazy fast
Always leaving you in last
He gives all his genes crazy names
People keep askin him, do they honor a person, do they stand for an acronym
The competition needs a coup, they think they've regrouped
He's got them taken faster than you can say that you got scooped
Him and his crew are known around as one of the best
Dedicated to what they do, they give a hundred percent.
His students, nobody really knows how or why, they work so hard
It seems like they never got time
Because when you find a mutant, they already got nine
And I've been to lab meeting, when that light goes on in his mind
It's like a design it's written in his head every time
Before he even touches a pipette or publishes a find
And the students he advises, all the fields they combine
Ridiculous, without even trying, how do they do it.
This is ten percent math
Twenty percent genetics
Fifteen percent concentrated bioinformatics
Five percent physics
Fifty percent nature
And a hundred percent reason to recall the nomenclature
