Singing Science

udderly writes " Wired is running a story about a University of Washington biology lecturer, Greg Crowther, who sings lectures. From the article: 'Crowther bursts into song to the melody of Sugar Sugar, the bubble-gum '60s tune - "Glucose, ah sugar sugar / You are my favorite fuel from the bloodborne substrate pool / Glucose -- monosaccharide sugar -- you're sweeter than a woman's kiss / 'cause I need you for glycolysis."' In college I used many different types of devices to help memorize information like this. Crowther has a page where you can download samples. Among my favorites are The Krebs Cycle and Come On Down (The Electron Transport Chain)."

    My favourite for learning to count in bin:

    1100011 bottles of beer on the wall, 1100011 bottles of beer.
    Take one down and pass it around, 1100010 bottles of beer on the wall.
    1100010 bottles of beer on the wall, 1100010 bottles of beer.
    Take one down and pass it around, 1100001 bottles of beer on the wall.
