A favorite tradition at the APS March
Meeting is the annual Physics Sing-Along! Old show tunes and contemporary
classics alike are remixed and reworded with a distinct physical sciences
flavor. Old favorites made an appearance like "Oh How I Love to Do
Physics" sung to the tune of "Oh What a Beautiful Morning" from Oklahoma
and numerous Tom Lehrer ditties. My personal favorite of the evening was
"Fabricate" sung to the tune of "Cabaret", about the
notorious physics fraud Jan
Hendrik Schön. The whole event was organized by Walter F. Smith of
Haverford College, who keeps a whole database of songs at his website.
Last night's encore, "Alpha Decay," a riff on the
Village People's "YMCA," was a heckuva crowd pleaser.
