I Got You Phage

Back in August of 2006, I wrote and performed this song for a lab meeting to summarize my work I had done that summer and the previous year (All regarding a bacteriophage called BPs).

Some of the lyrics are hard to catch, you can find them below the embed. Enjoy!


Lyrics
Will I find you? Well, I don't know.
I won't find out until my smeg will grow.
I scraped the dirt right off my shoe
You were there and phage, I found you.

(Chorus)
Phage, I got you phage. I got you phage. I got you phage.

They say you won't kill TB, you'll only infect Bovis BCG
I can tell from your lack of spots
You won't infect all the bacteria we got

(Chorus)

You have recE in your genes
You have Halo on your team
And when your cruising round the town
Bateria die when you're around.

So let them say your tail's too long
I don't care, I wrote the song
So put your little head by mine
It has the smallest genome we can find

(Chorus)

I found you from dirty sludge
I found you while eating fudge
I got micrographs of you
I still got lysogen work to do
I want you to integrate, I'll watch it when you replicate
I found you, I won't let go
I found you, I love you so

Phage
I got you phage
I got you phage I got you phage I got you phage
~End Lyrics~

There will hopefully be some more microbiology songs coming soon (as soon as I get a camera up and running). With titles such as:
1. It's Gonna Be There (The E. coli song)
2. Brillant Dance of the Starvation Response
3. Phage in the Soil
