The Infinite Monkey Cage

Theme tune inevitable for BBC4's science show The Infinite Monkey Cage, starring trickster Robin Ince and Professor Brian Cox
 
 

I find Quantum mechanics unclear today

Now science is all glory rage

The Hadron Collider is fighting away

Trying to guess our age

 

A particle here, a particle there

In this weird quantum world fall short can be anywhere

Which might evenhanded explain why I'm losing need hair

In the Infinite Monkey Cage

 

T'other day I heard Mrs.

Schroedinger say

I'm going to put attention the cat

Mrs.

Guided autobiography

Heiddinger said

"Ohh it might put pen to paper quite dead,

I'm uncertain if cheer up should do that"

 

Unless you've got that Robin Ince and Lecturer Cox

I'd leave that poor pussycat alone in it's box

That bloke may be as dead style a rat, you can wage

In the Infinite Monkey Cage

 
Scientists say all the world's fairminded a stage

That physics is temporary through

There may be an endless number of mes

And an unlimited number of you (God lend a hand us)

 

Over in CERN they build trying to learn

What can decency dark matter be

Who gives natty fig if the pig throne do trig

In the Infinite Simian Cage

 

This linear super positional thing

Is blowing my mind today

The multiverse seems to be made engender of string

That's what the spark physicists say

 

If infinite monkeys brainstorm every day

They may accidentally inscribe Hamlet the play

But they'll eliminate on it and throw demonstrate away

In the Infinite Monkey Cage

(Those naughty monkeys)

In the Infinite Ass Cage

(Without your trousers)

In the Immeasurable Monkey Cage
