In case you missed the series announcement: • the next phase
My main source for this video was the textbook Cellular and Molecular Immunology by Abul Abbas, Andrew Lichtman & Shiv Pillai. I'll do a deep dive livestream for this piece soon and post a link here when I do!
A NOTE ABOUT COPYRIGHT: A Capella Science parodies are covered under fair dealing in Canadian law and fair use under American law. Unfortunately for me though, RUclips is mostly governed in practice by agreements between RUclips, the creators, and the record labels. To keep from being sued RUclips gives very generous powers to big labels like EMI, Sony BMG, etc, which include automated copyright claiming and final say in the event of a dispute. I've tried to fight claims in the past but always hit a brick wall, so those videos that are monetized on my channel are monetized as "revenue sharing cover songs". Overall my income from the channel, purely from ads, is about 55 cents per thousand views--normal CPM is anywhere from 2-5 dollars, so I'm making somewhere between 1/4 and 1/10 of normal. Luckily I also have an incredibly generous community, and with the help of my patrons (along with private gigs) I can keep this channel going!
---LYRICS--
Cause I I I got the SARS tonight
So watch me ring up my blood cells of white
First up
Coming through the blood
Neutrophil come slow your roll
Eat up micro bods
Gummed up when your guts explode
Hang tight waiting monocyte
Hulk out til you're chowing em down
Signals from my killer cells
And those weak and infected go "blao"
This is getting heavy
Better get the lymph nodes all ready
Got a fever running
And these signal cytokines flooding
Defense overrun
we need to send a sample on
Dendritic, you gotta go off
so let's go!
Cause I I I got the SARS tonight
So watch me bring peptides to the meeting site
Fly into the lymph node with the details of the bug
So I can fight it off by leukocyte
Bring a friend, join the crowd
Together filling up the node
New white lymphocytes
Of the thymus and the bone
Scatter-gun, million-to-one
Which ones are compatible?
"Ladies and gentlemen
I got the antigen
So you can keep your eyes on the ball"
This is getting heavy
Can we get T's trained already
Helping, teaching, gunning
Plasma cells with antibods flooding
These made optimal
We need to save a sample of
Archive em, y'all others go off
And let's go
Cause I I I got the SARS tonight
So watch me bring trained cells to the battle site
Target a specific set of features of the bug
So I can fight it off by leukocyte
Slide through the side to find the right site of the fight
Fight it leukocyte
Fly like a guided viricide bind to the site
Fight it leukocyte
Target cells exhibiting a feature of the bug
So I can fight it off by leukocyte
Die for the tribe deny the shock play
Try and imbibe a fly-by-night prey
Pry, nullify the viral home bay
Fight it off leukocyte
Spy to provide a vital dossier
Vie to supply the binding Y shape
Scry, then apply a cytokine aide
Fight it off leukocyte
Cause I I I got the SARS tonight
So watch me bring all guns to the firefight
Target tainted tissue with a team to SWAT the bug
So I can fight it off by leukocyte
Cause I I I got the SARS tonight
So watch me bring the fire to the parasite
Integrated synergy to seek and squash the bug
So I can fight it off by leukocyte
Guide what survived to multiply righting the blight
Right it leukocyte
Time to resign, the high supply cost to requite
Bite it leukocyte
But I will keep this memory with features of the bug
So I can fight it off by leukocyte

So happy to hear your new song. Thank you for the video
great job, and happy to get a new song!
So glad to see you back! 🎉
Great song, so happy so see you're back!
YEAH LET'S GO YOU GO/AT IT WITH GREAT INTENTION ✅️✅️ 🙂👍
Finally, after all these years, acapella science came back from dead with an incredible song
Can't agree more!
Agreed!! So good to see output from this master. Tim has greatly inspired me. Oh, I don't sing, dance, or play an instrument. I write lyrics to existing tunes ocasionaly.
I'm diabetic. I had difficulty understanding chemistry because of learning electronis from old books that showed circular orbits of electrons. Then Tim came ot with his song and that got me to take another look. Suddenly it all made sense.
Merci tu nous a trop manqué !
Nah, ACS wasn’t dead, he was just resting. Wasn’t even MOSTLY dead, if you take my meaning.
sometimes you need to weather a pandemic, connect with your emotions, travel for a year, try to revolutionize physics, and then learn graphic design and animation principles before you can make another youtube video
When the world needed him most, he returned
Up
i was trapped in an iceberg! (canada)
@@acapellascience oh god that sounds horrible being in canada is something nobody should go through I'm so glad you survived!
Take my r/angry upvote then...
@@acapellascience But you’ve mastered 118 elements, not just 4.
An absolute bop. We missed you!
Thanks guys! Glad it still comes up in your feed 😅
Crossover episode???
@@darealpoopster that’s not a terrible idea…:)
@@MinuteEarth We’d love to see one!
Wouldn't that make it an...

😁
Immunology is, hands down, the most complicated thing in medicine (and one of the most complicated in science imo). Amazing stuff 🙌
i will try to not besmirch it as i continue into the weeds!!
The human immune system has some amazing information-processing and co-ordination abilities.
I've seen that here and in Kurzgesagt's videos.
Was not expecting you here of all places. Don't know why, makes sense for a cardiologist to be here.
Was wondering what you'd think of this - and here you are :)
Which is why this has got to be Tim's densest video ever. I feel like I gotta play it at 1/3 speed. But so catchy
The re-infection at the end just getting absolutely stuffed out the gate was a nice touch.
6 years ago, you first sparked my interest in biology with "Bring me a gene". Because of your influence, I decided to go to medical school! It's great to see you back, and with a series on immunology! Always know that you've changed lives!
this is crazy to read, im honoured
Amen🕊♥️🕊
@@kymlarsen1803my brother, you been told all lies.😐
WELCOME BACK TIM!!! Also, "i got the SARS tonight" is the most clever line ever
yo cary how is tpot going?
omg cary YOU’RE MY FAVORITE RUclipsR
Cary?
I shared this with my dad who works in immunology, and he was very impressed by how much information was conveyed quickly and accurately. Thanks again for a wonderful song, Tim!
oohhh would your dad be interested in vetting parts of this series? send me a message somewhere if so
@@acapellascience Shot you a message via your contact form on your website, but he's open to helping out!
As a teacher, I play the evo-devo song to my classes every semester to discuss evolution in the context of biomolecules and DNA developmental regulation. Thank you for sharing your talent and intelligence with us all, and all my students.
That is one of my favorite Acapellascience songs! I played it for my coworker who was getting her Masters in Research.
Oh gosh, it just dawned to me that Tim chose "Dynamite" to parody so he can pay homage to Leukocytes' ability to self-destruct ang go bang. Haha. Also, I just can't wrap my head on the fact that Tim has the perfect rhymes in 1:47 - 1:56 to encapsulate that important and central idea in the adlib part of the song. whoa
omg thats true
Tim always has the perfect rhymes and syllable alignment. Not many people could fit things like "archeopteryx" or "wondrous ribonucleoprotein" in a line, fitting to an existing rhythm
Thanks, Tim! I hope you can keep doing this for a long time.
Pure Excitement!
My 4 year old has been listening to your songs she she was in the womb. She loves BTS more than anything else. I cannot wait to get home show her this....
man what an honour. say hi to her for me!
@@acapellascience Her name is Margeaux.
@@victorqwilleran3331 Hi Margeaux!
BTS sucks. Tim's BTS doesn't.
Ladies and gentlemen, the legend returned to bless us with a work of art
As a med student, I wished this was out when I was studying for the immunology exam.
Since I'm here, I'm thinking about specializing in medical genetics and Evo-devo and Keep me a gene surely contributed to this choice so many years ago. Thank you so much for your work and keep going!
SCIENCE IS OFFICIALLY JAMMING AGAIN!!! WHOHOO
Good lord this is FANTASTIC. Literally everything….from the vocals to the lyrics and rhymes, to the animations which provide perfectly timed choreography throughout the entire song….it’s all just ridiculously high quality. Even the pastel colored shirts are on point. Never have been a patreon donor to anyone before but I’m about to for this guy.
Please don't ever stop your roll. Your vids are absolutely amazing.
they see me rollin...
@@acapellascience but we're not hatin
@@acapellascience”I know they’re all thinking I’m so white and nerdy”… ;)
This was incredible! Thank you so much, and keep it up ✨️
I'm planning to see your performance this weekend and can't wait!!
Brilliant, worth the wait. Incredibly catchy, and your ability to find rhymes for the strangest words is amazing. Thank you for giving this to the world.
It's been years since I had the chanse to feel the pure joy of a full Acapellascience music video that I have not seen yet and all the music, the lyrics, the visuals, and most of the information is new to me and now I had 3 minutes of this, and it truly made my day
I can’t believe it took me this long to realize that the T-Cells are from the THYMUS and the B-Cells are from the BONE… and I’ve rewatched this *how* many times? Not to mention Cells at Work…
You should get an honourary degree for having wonderfully synthesized all the combined elements of this piece. Bravo! 👏👏
die for the tribe,
deny the shock play,
try and imbibe
a flight by night prey.
pry, nullify,
the viral home bay
fight if off leukocyte
-- absolutely nailed it. Welcome back!
An article on the news today mentioned a potential new medical treatment with CRISPR-Cas9 and I immediately remembered your song about it. Came to your channel to listen to it again after 6 years, and got greeted by this bop! Your vocal range and skill is amazing, glad you've uploaded again :)
Who did the animations? SO GOOD
hehe. me me and only me. I WOULD LIKE THIS NOT TO BE THE CASE but so far it's just me
@@acapellascience Woah, there's no way one man can be so talented!
@@acapellascience You are not just one-man orchestra, you are a one-man studio. You really are just so amazing
I love the precision of the details, e.g. the antibody selection process at 1:22-1:27
@@Mafuskas well kinda like bo Burnham 🙂
Your animation skills got truly impressive!
I keep listening to this song and can't get over how detailed yet concise the description of the adaptive immune system is.
Ahh I just listened to this song and it’s AMAZING! Can’t believe how detailed you were able to get-while rhyming too! And I saw your comment about being the one who did the graphics/animations??? My god, I can’t believe just how talented you are!
I hope you’re having a wonderful day. Thank you SO much for this song. ❤️
LET'S GOOO!!!! I've been watching for the past 7 years. Acapellascience never fails to release impressive content!
An absolute banger 🔥
And I loved the synchronized dancing of the immune cells.
I was also super proud of myself for understanding what was being sung (100% because I read Immune by kurzgesagt)
this brought back those ancient memories of watching cells at work, seems it was pretty accurate
Psalms 107
[The musical scientists] were hungry and thirsty, and their lives ebbed away. Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress ... [with a long awaited acapella science masterpiece.] ... Thanks, Tim! It was worth the wait.
Amen
i cannot physically comprehend the amount of effort that went into this, from the impeccable lyrics to the arrangement to the graphics and the editing. chappeau!! what a comeback!
I actually found this channel only a few months ago and was so sad when it looked like it was stagnant... I subscribed anyway (just in case) and low and behold, this new masterpiece comes out just a bit later! I am IMMENESLY hyped for this new series!!!
From a 15 year old high schooler, I'm happy for two things from his video:
You're back, with an absolute banger at that, the animations are amazing and cover a work of art as usual. I kept checking every day after your announcement whether you posted the vid (I've been playing your songs on repeat for the last month or two cause they're just amazing). Hope you were able to work on yourself and improve in the time you were off.
This is literally the only video I've been able to go, hey, i know and understand almost all if not all of it. Thanks to Kurzegesagt immune book for that. Made me smile hearing cell after cell and remembering oh that does that. I can't wait to see what the next one is about, maybe autoimmune? cancer? you've already sorta covered so much in summary in this vid.
The Kurzegesagt immune book is 100% awesome. Makes immunology accessible to the masses. I love both it and A Capella Science
I got the immune book too. The book was absolutely amazing, and I only understood this song because of the book. It basically sums up what happens in a viral infections. It is also super catchy, so bonus points.
this one is also the one i can understand the most as i also own several textbooks about immunology. i'm happy this exists bc finally i'm not blanked by the amount of scientific terms outside my field. plus the animation just rocks!!
I'm 14. Turning 15 this year. All of my guy's songs are influencing me to take one branch of science, then another, and another. Ain't decided what to do yet.
I'm 14 right now.
My favourite channel is back. I found this video today (the day before writing my finals to become a Paediatrician) and it has just made these last excruciating hours of anxiety feel lighter and more beautiful.
Can't wait to see the rest of the immunology chapter and hope there is a textbook worth to follow.
"Slide through the side to find the right site of the fight. Fight it leukocyte" omg this is sooo goood
As always, you're killing it... this time by leukocyte.
:)
When I saw your icon in my news radar on Spotify I was full of joy, for a second I thought I was still sleeping but boy oh boy this was the best way to star my day!!! Now I'm going to sing all damn day long!!!!
HES BACK!!!!!!!!!! THANK THE SCIENCE GODS
Just like in molecular shape of you, the combining of all previously learned elements in a grand zoom-out to the bigger picture is legitemately an awe-inspiring moment that tugs on my heart and makes me go, "Damn, it really all does fit together." Combined with the coda of the song and it really makes me want to pull out the textbook and appreciate how it all comes together again ;)
!!! I'm sooooo happy to see you back at it, and this song is phenomenal. Keep it up, we missed you!
The level of complexity and coordinated features in just one system of the body is astounding. It's no surprise it takes us so long to match through medicine what millions of years of evolution have allowed the immune system to do passively. Cellular mechanisms are absolutely fascinating, and I fully believe that the next big step for humanity will be when we fully understand and can create our own sophisticated cellular machinery and systems either from scratch or by completely restructuring existing cells. I think that will be our nanotech revolution.
I'm not familiar with the original song, but this was very enjoyable regardless! So glad to have you back and making music!!!
the original song is called Dynamite and it's an absolute bop!
i am surprised you managed to miss the phone advertisement, the tune is quite memorable
@Samuele Sanfilippo I do not watch or listen to ads in any media format. When possible, I will pay a premium to not be served ads, and skip or mute the ones I can't pay to go away.

Been playing your songs on replay for years - they really helped get my kids interested in science like me! Missed you man! Looking forwards to more soon!
I can't put into words how happy this makes me. Catchy af, gorgeous animations and great harmonies. I don't want to think about how much work you must have put into this.
Plus I have to learn this stuff for uni, so you made me turn crying over immunology into singing about immunology.
I can't tell you how much I've missed your uploads. I've shared each song with so many people in my life -- from my undergrad and grad cohorts, to now my medical student cohort and random family who I think will find it entertaining, informative, adorable.
I've been listening to this song for days and tried to sing along tonight... only to realize just how high that melody line really is. I'm having to sing it an octave down. Wow. That beautiful high tenor of yours is being used for great purpose. I salute you, sir. (Yes, I'm a woman who sings second tenor.) When you play the Science Songs playlist and compare this to years ago, I can see your talent has matured and only gotten better with time. Thankful for what you have already done and looking forward to more.
Tim,
Another video and teachable moment accomplished with style, ingenuity, and clarity. As a former middle grades science teacher, I say job well done. My students can really grab challenging concepts by singing along.
Practically perfect in every way!
Tim is the Mary Poppins of Musical Scientists. He fills our lives with music, magic, knowledge, and wonder.
Omg. I cried on how good this is🥹.
Don't ever retire from making this kind of lesson music please
The change in tone between "Quarantine" (Hide and Seek), and this song, reminds me that over the last four years, humanity has persevered, held on to hope despite reduced face-to-face connection, allocated resources, and brought centuries of accumulated knowledge to the fight. Thanks for your part in maintaining that hope, and for valorizing the pursuit of knowledge which makes our species so particularly resilient.
In this song, the singer describes how their immune system responds to a viral infection, specifically SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome).
They start by mentioning the different types of white blood cells involved. Neutrophils are called to the scene to destroy harmful microorganisms. Monocytes, another type of white blood cell, join in to engulf and eliminate the invaders. Natural Killer cells send signals to identify and attack infected cells.
As the infection progresses, the immune response intensifies. Fever rises, and various signaling molecules called cytokines flood the body. The immune defenses become overwhelmed, and a sample of the virus needs to be sent for analysis.
Dendritic cells play a crucial role in presenting the virus's antigens to the immune system, ensuring a targeted response. The singer emphasizes the importance of this process.
The immune system recruits more cells to the lymph nodes, including white blood cells produced in the thymus and bone marrow. The goal is to identify the specific features of the virus and produce antibodies that can neutralize it. The process involves a large number of cells, and compatibility is key.
The singer describes the intricate movements of the immune cells, their interactions, and their efforts to fight off the virus. They mention the importance of plasma cells, which produce antibodies, and the need to archive samples for future reference.
Leukocytes, a general term for white blood cells, are central to the immune response. The singer describes their actions in fighting the infection, targeting specific features of the virus and neutralizing it.
The lyrics use metaphors to depict the immune system's actions as a battle or firefight. They mention the importance of teamwork, guided movement, and the release of cytokines to aid in the fight against the virus.
Despite the challenges and sacrifices, the singer expresses determination to fight off the infection. They highlight the memory of the virus's features, which will help the immune system respond effectively in the future.
Overall, the song portrays the complex and coordinated response of the immune system in combating a viral infection, emphasizing the crucial role of leukocytes in defending the body.
Thank you! That was a wonderful explanation. I appreciate it.
Did you write this with ChatGPT? Just wondering, because it sounds like chatGPT... just want to see if my hunch is correct.
@@jacobchung7707 Yes.
It's really amazing how you can make something complicated sound so much easier to understand thanks to the power of your incredible voice, mind and hard work. Thank you for this video and keep them coming!
Weird Al Yankovic and A Capella Science. I hear their versions first, and then the version which they used as basis. Hence, for me, their songs are the original ones.
bro same
me but Bill Nye and i'm 4
White and Nerdy…!
Cannot wait to have this song stuck in my head for the next month.
I can't believe I hadn't seen this yet, even though I am subscribed! The content you create is excellent, AMAZING! Not only the superb singing, but the information and its delivery! Gonna have this on replay...
Aaaaaaah, I couldn't even dream of that! I was just waiting for your comeback, but for you to make a parody on a BTS song? Never. There was no need to dream of that, though, because I have been already thoroughly enjoying all your songs. They are incredible.
And still... Now I feel like I'm in heaven. The two artists I admire the most created an absolute bop together. Your skills are just mind-blowing, I get amazed every time.
Thank you a lot!!! This song is really vibrant ☀🍊 And I'm happy to see you again! (You're so handsome, btw 😳😳)
@1:47 I want to compliment you on the effort you put into these lyrics to these videos. I constantly blown away by not only by the accuracy of terms used and concepts conveyed but by the lyrical prowess and creativity that went into crafting these sick bars.
You are one of the few creators that melds science and art. Science to help people understand, and the art to connect and make them care.
After watching this video for the nth time (absolute masterpiece, by the way - I don't plan to stop rewatching until I feel I've successfully sucked up all the information in the video!) I only just realized that 2:04 ~ 2:19 actually rhymes with the original "dynananananananana hey". I can't imagine how much research it took for Tim to find scientifically accurate words to deliver information that also sound right and have the right rhythmn!
Extremely happy for ACS's return! I'd become a fan during his break and didn't expect any more music to drop, so this is all the more exciting 😆
Love learning science this way. Keep it up!
No, really, you make works of art. The lyrics, the arrangement, the vocal quality, the animation.. everything is perfect and I can only imagine the huge workload to make this come true. Thank you very much!!
You don't know how much you were missed.....glad you are finally back💜
I absolutely love all of your parodies! I have been watching them and introducing others to them for years! When I was finishing my bachelor's degree in microbiology, my genetics professor showed the class "bring me a gene" during lecture and I was so excited to see y'all content used in a learning environment! I still send Dr. Rohde (my genetics professor) y'all's videos periodically. I am currently the TA for microbiology and I would love to introduce the undergrads to y'all's content. Please consider making a parody for microbiology!!
We love all your amazing, smart, creative parodies!
I found your channel when Whole New Worlds was played in my astronomy class last semester and I’m so glad I did! My music taste is pretty much Weird Al parodies and science songs (like the ones Hank Green used to make) so your channel is perfect! I only managed to find this video because I was checking if I had downloaded all your music to my phone and noticed there was a new one.
I can’t wait for more immune system songs!
I should absolutely send this to my old Immunology professor.
THIS IS SO AMAZING LMAO. I LOVED IT. The vocals the lyrics the animation. every aspect of this is incredible. you can really see the amount of hardwork put into this. Great job!
When I wait for something like this, I have near infinite patience. Thank you!
I used to be really into kpop, now I’m really into microbio. I feel like this has just united these two eras of my existence, it’s surreal.
I always love to be reminded that everyone has a little spartan army/police force inside of them. This is a banger
The scientific king has returned baby
He's back, and in full force! Still one of my favorite channels after all these years.
This is incredibly impressive work, congratulations! You’ve outdone yourself*
*which is not to imply that you need to continue to outdo yourself to make videos, your standards are already high enough that anything you make will be great
You are so wildly talented. Love everything! Thank you for sharing your multiple talents with us!
Welcome back and awesome job! I've been slow to start listening to BTS, but finally heard a couple of their songs. Just enough to appreciate some of how much you hit this musically out of the park. I'll have to study some to better appreciate the lyrics, but you make that something to look forward to with your videos! 🎶🤓❤️
Worth the wait!! Amazing, Love it as always!! ❤😮
The king has returned! Fantastic work as always!
Tim, I've loved your work for so many years and am thrilled to see you creating again! You've brought so much clever funny sciencey awesomeness to the world. Thank you!
There has never existed a better channel, please keep at it! I've missed you so much! Very excited to learn about immunology in song form
Man, the amount of work behind you videos each time is astonishing! I couldn't love them more!
I studied these things many times in different schools and still can't understand 80% of this video (in a good way), as always. I love being flooded with information lol, and I love knowing there's still a lot to learn.
Keep up making these gems
As an immunologist I am in LOVE with this song plus the amazing animations
Thank you!!
I couldn't sleep and suddenly remembered your songs. I went to your chanel and couldnt believe that you posted a new one a year ago! Im so happy. Amazing as always, so glad to see you again. I found your channel in highschool, now I'm finishing my masters degree in biology. I still listen to "take exams" every exam season, but the next one will be my last. Im finishing college and you've helped me thru it! Isnt that kind of crazy? ❤️
this is incredible! as a researcher in the making your content always brings a smile to my face! i'm really glad you're back, you're a big inspiration to me! keep up the great job!!
Not a biology student anymore but hot damn this is the most cheerful biology song I've ever listened to 😭
can we expect this to make its way to Spotify at some point?
oh shoot thanks for the reminder 😅
I'm really glad to have you back creating those videos! Hope you're doing well!
Recently found your channel, honestly I have mad respect for these parodies, not only do they remain catchy but it is also informative, a perfect way to learn some science with the catchy parody stuck in your head.
Incredible - so well sung and composed, super sound and rhythm - and of course the amazing text and animation. And compliment to your looks as well! So happy to see you back, all the best and please keep it comin‘! 😊👍🌸👋👋👋👋
He does look gorgeous, doesn't he?
YAY!! You're back!!! We missed you SOOOOO much. My kids love your songs better than the originals...keep them coming!!!
I found this channel a while back in 2021, and my favorite parodies are
'Evo-Devo' - (Despacito)
'The Molecular Shape of You' - (Shape of You)
'Nanobot' - (Havana)
'Eminemium: Choose Yourself' - (Loose Yourself)
And I tell you, my not a single day of listening to music goes by without ever listening to even one of these songs!
Man, you are the magician of science and music!
"When you wanted to be a science major and have music in your blood, you become acapellascience!"
yea, these songs are amazing, what do you think about CRISPR-Cas9 (Mr. Sandman)?
Worth the wait! Immunology is new to me - I'm definitely going to have to listen to this one a few times to understand it more.
One of the particular aspects I love the most about these covers that I think deserves more mention is the lyrical flow, and this cover absolutely qualifies. 2:04 is so satisfying to listen to.
Finally, the resurrection of acapellascience! I've been waiting for this for so long. Thank you Tim, and amazing job on the video!
Your vocals + the animations give me the chills so easily! So glad you're still making stuff :D
I would kill to see Acapella Science do something 80's Rock on something like ATP, Glucose and Lipids breakin down or Photosynthesis maybe Cell Respiration, something along those lines (or anything really!). I wanna hear this man break loose! These covers give me so much joy, thank you for making such amazing and nerdy bangers haha
Only discovered your channel today, and I'm so glad I did. Incredible work across a staggering breadth of disciplines. It's like experiencing the music videos at the end of Bill Nye episodes for the first time, enhanced exponentially. Thank you for it all!
is it wierd that i like this more than the song this is parodying?
Not in the least. It's pretty common for a cover/parody to far outclass the original.
Just ask Weird Al and Postmodern Jukebox. 😁
No, because this is made by a consummate artist while the original, don't even know.
It is not weird at all!
My family recently broke out the karaoke set recently. When we did shape of you, all three of us commented that we like both Tim's and Malinda's covers better!
@@matthewcox7985 PMJ did a better still haven't found what i'm looking for than U2 did, which is just... wierd
this guy doesn't miss
This is incredible. Educational and catchy as heck. You're incredibly talented and skilled, thanks for sharing! So happy to see a new video.
Just thought of one of your songs after years.. went to watch, and a new song 6 hours ago?? Wow! What are the odds!
Absolutely love your work, helped spark my passion for science and the world around us. I’ve gotten my second degree since I last watched!
Glad to see you again.
