And the Grammy for best lab song goes to...

In the spirit of the Grammys, BioTechniques presents our nominees for the best and most absurd science song of the past year.

<snip>

So we'll take over where the Grammys left off, by bringing you the best and brightest in music that the Science Recording Academy has to offer in research rock and laboratory lyricism.

The nominees in this category include original compositions and parodies of pop songs with at least two things in common—a passion for science and a strange sense of humor. Graduate students, postdocs, and even doctors in labs across the country with entirely too much time between their PCR runs and journal club meetings have shared with us their clever lyrics, just-in-tune singing, and best attempts at choreography. Naturally, we applaud them all for filling labs around the world with much-needed laughter.

And the nominees are...

4. Every lab on Earth looks exactly the same

Watching those reminded me of grad school. Thanks for the find, the bad project is all too common.

5. my second favorite was the Stickleback song ...

i'm a fish nut, so i especially loved that one. But the Lady GaGa parody was hands-down the best of them all. Really really funny stuff!

This was released in mid-February. I can't believe i missed something so good. Thanks so much for posting it!!!

6. Bad project was by far the best

Very professionally done.

And so relate-able.

I'm going to go drink now . ..

7. I'm shocked that "Symphony of Science" didn't get a nomination...

Bad Project is great (as are most of the other nominees). But "Symphony of Science" is my favorite science song evar!
