There have been copies, but few can top “The Electromagnetic Spectrum Song” by Emerson Foo and Wong Yann, posted on YouTube in 2007 and carrying more than 1⅔ million views as of our publication date.
“This is my favorite song of all time. Play this at my funeral,” wrote one commentator on the video. Music’s not dead, I tell you. Not even among physics students.
Two parts that practically put me on the ground, for instance, are the x rays that are used to see a bomb inside a piece of luggage at the airport and the dangerous gamma rays, used to kill “cancer cells” and to “sterilize” things we might want to put into our bodies, that look oddly like the Incredible Hulk, all green and stuff.
The song is wildly popular among elementary and middle school teachers as well. On her class blog, a sixth-grade teacher from Southern California, Mrs Gillum, calls it her class’s favorite song. Surely, kids will be singing it over and over again.

(A poll on this site found that 86 percent of 28 respondents gave the Electromagnetic Song a grade of “A” while the remaining respondents gave it a grade of “D.” The poll has been taken down due to circumstances beyond our control.)
