This is a funny science song by Bryant Oden (Songdrops). Do you know about the threat of the chemical solvent dihydrogen monoxide? Get informed now! And please spread the word to your friends and science teachers! (Click "Show more" if you need a hint.)
(Dihydrogen Monoxide is 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen atoms, so it is H2O, aka, WATER.)
Thanks as usual to the excellent keyboardist Scott Martin for laying down the basic piano tracks, which I later string-ified
.
Dihydrogen Monoxide Lyrics:
V1:
There’s a menace. There’s a threat
There’s no safe way to remove all of it yet
It’s in our lakes. It’s in our streams
It even seeps through swimsuit seams
V2
It’s been found in rain and snow
in the most remotest places you can go
It’s even been found in babies’ tears
And in olympic swimmers ears
Bridge 1: If you inhale it you could die Dihydrogen monoxide
CHORUS 1: Dihydrogen monoxide Dihydrogen monoxide
It’s showing up in rivers far and wide Dihydrogen monoxide
V3
Hydrogen can be a blast alone
And oxygen makes the Earth our home
But when their ratio is two to one
They create a chemical that isn’t always fun
V4
It can turn into a gas when it gets hot
The liquid form can even cause a house to rot
The solid form can be hazardous too
And odds are high this solvent is already inside you!
Bridge 2: It can even cause a rock slide Dihydrogen monoxide
CHORUS 2: Dihydrogen monoxide Dihydrogen monoxide
It seeps through your skin when it’s hot outside
Dihydrogen monoxide Dihydrogen monoxide
V5
It corrodes some pipes it corrodes some tools
It’s often found right on the ground
and in swimming pools
It’s in our sinks, it’s in our drains,
it’s even been found inside our brains
V6
Watermelons have a large amount
Water park levels are more than we can count
Water we doing to stop this threat
Whata major danger and there’s no solution yet
Bridge 3: There’s no place that you can hide Dihydrogen monoxide
CHORUS 3: Dihydrogen monoxide Dihydrogen monoxide
It’s hard to wash off when it’s liquified
Dihydrogen monoxide
V7
It’s found in fish, it’s found in juice
And even in the urine of every tested moose
it’s not too late to stop this curse
We can stop this menace before it’s even worse
V8
Yes you can make a difference please give now
I’ve started a foundation and it needs your money now
Donate to my research to learn how far this reaches
I’ll monitor DHMO at several famous beaches
Bridge 4 Send money and I’ll be your guide
Dihydrogen monoxide
Duh-Duh Duh-Duh Duh-Duh Duh-Duh Duh-Duh
CHORUS 4 Dihydrogen monoxide Dihydrogen monoxide
Apples have a lot of it unless they’re dried
Dihydrogen monoxide
Dihydrogen monoxide Dihydrogen monoxide
Levels increase at high tide
Dihydrogen monoxide
