New Scientist Magazine is asking its readers to help compile a list of the top ten pop songs about science.

From the threat of nuclear war: “You’d better watch out, you’d better beware, Albert says that E equals MC squared”; to the wonder of heterosexual love: “XX XY, That’s why it’s you and me. Your blood is red, It’s beautiful genetic love … I need your DNA”, the pop song reaches places other science fears to tread – namely, the intimate headspace of a brooding teen.

Happening to be in possession of a brooding teen, I believe I can speak with some authority when I say that New Scientist has its work cut out for it.
