We Built the Pyramids
It’s true. We did. Unless you believe ET or some other alien did it. (Oh no I didn’t!) Regardless, I’ve been watching the Big Bang Theory lately and the theme song, by the Barenaked Ladies, is now permanently stuck on my frontal lobe. The show is pretty fun, although I have to admit that I felt obliged to watch the first few episode. Being the geekery it is. The song is catchy and fun! Enjoy it, with lyrics, after the break. Oh, and yeah, the song is called ‘The History Of Everything’ - not ‘The Big Bang Theory’. Find the group at BareNakedLadies.com. No. That’s not porno. Freak!
Our whole universe was in a hot dense state,
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started. Wait…
The Earth began to cool,
The autotrophs began to drool,
Neanderthals developed tools,
We built a wall (we built the pyramids),
Math, science, history, unraveling the mysteries,
That all started with the big bang!
“Since the dawn of man” is really not that long,
As every galaxy was formed in less time than it takes to sing this song.
A fraction of a second and the elements were made.
The bipeds stood up straight,
The dinosaurs all met their fate,
They tried to leap but they were late
And they all died (they froze their asses off)
The oceans and pangea
See ya, wouldn’t wanna be ya
Set in motion by the same big bang!It all started with the big BANG!
It’s expanding ever outward but one day
It will cause the stars to go the other way,
Collapsing ever inward, we won’t be here, it won’t be heard
Our best and brightest figure that it’ll make an even bigger bang!Australopithecus would really have been sick of us
Debating how we’re here, they’re catching deer (we’re catching viruses)
Religion or astronomy, Descartes or Deuteronomy
It all started with the big bang!Music and mythology, Einstein and astrology
It all started with the big bang!
It all started with the big BANG!

Surely the pyramids should come first, being older than the wall (I am assuming Great Wall?). Or am I just absorbing Sheldon-isms by watching the whole series in rapid succession?
