1. CERN Rap
3 years ago
Rappin' about CERN's Large Hadron Collider! Links below...
There has been a lot of interest in the original mp3, lyrics, and vocals for remixing. You can find all that here:
msu.edu/~mcalpin9/lhc_rap...
There's also been interest in translation. You can get a subtitle-free version from Vimeo here (downloadable):
vimeo.com/1730771
With backing track available here (with and without Hawking-style voice):
barras.ws/rappin.html
Go ahead and translate, rap it, and post it! Just give us a shout-out, and it's probably a good idea to include the following credits ;-)
Images came from:
particlephysics.ac.uk, space.com, the Institute of Physics, NASA, Symmetry, and Marvel
I forgot Einstein Online, and they called me out: einstein-online.info
The talented dancers doubled as camera people, with some work by Neil Dixon. Stock footage is CERN's.
Will Barras is responsible for the killa beats:
ling.ed.ac.uk/~s9527813/
And thanks to MC Hawking, who first thought of using computer-voice to bring Stephen Hawking to the world of rap :-)

The rapper has a day job (we agree this is a good thing) as a science writer.

They'll have a lot of data to sort. 15 million GB per year, actually. Want to get involved and donate your computer's downtime? Try LHC@home:

Where can we get the MP3?
also a great way to get people interested in my opinion (short attention spans rule!)
really enjoyed that :)
Back in the undergraduate days it always seemed like the Physics folks had more fun; I'm getting that feeling again.
I wonder how many viewings it will take before I understand all of the lyrics?
