I Fucking Love Science

If I ran a game store I would like to play the song I Fucking Love Science by Hank Green and The Perfect Strangers, but it's NSFW.

Elise Andrew started the "I Fucking Love Science" Facebook page in 2012 as a place to post neat science links. The page grew quickly and as it grew its name became a brand, spilling onto Twitter, Google+, and it's own dedicated website. In 2014, Hank Green and The Perfect Strangers released the song I Fucking Love Science on their album, Incongruent. I don't know that there is any relationship between the band and the brand that Mrs. Andrew has started, but if there's not there should be. Hank Green is an enormous nerd. He's got a science degree, a science blog and a science vlog, he's an inventor and a musician, he's started his own music label and he's interviewed the President of the United States of America. I think he is uniquely qualified to sing the I Fucking Love Science song, officially or unofficially. At any rate, he has this song and it's fun. It's a fast driving, modern rock tune perfect for singing at the top of your voice while you drive... or while selecting a board game from the store shelf. There's a clean version of the song - I Love Science - which is the same exact tune but sung without the expletive. It doesn't have the same punch for me, though. If I ran a game store I would like to play the uncensored version or neither - the clean version doesn't float my boat.

I Fucking Love Science lyrics

I fucking love science

Can you even imagine
Way back in the past when
We thought that storms were caused by petty gods
Fighting on top of a mountain

And yeah, I like a good story
But eventually it's gonna bore me
If it doesn't have that truth
That incontrovertable, testable, repeatable proof

I fucking love science

And I fucking love Charles Darwin
'Cause I don't think it's bold to question what you're told
If you're told the world's a thousand years old

There's nothing here to argue against
It's a process not an ideology
And I fucking love science

Sometimes people ask me
Of all of the centuries
Which I'd pick to live life in
Well that's pretty easy
Right now, if you think objectively

If you like hot running water
And memory foam beds
And T.V. shows and cell phones
And not being dead

You fucking love science

I fucking love Carl Sagan
'Cause I think it's fly to look up in the sky
And never ever ever stop wondering why

There's nothing here to argue against
It's a process not an ideology
And I fucking love science

Woolly mammoth embryos
Vaccines for smallpox and polio
Your T.V. set, the Internet
Your PS4, supersonic jets

Exoplanet galaxies
DNA, germ theory, relativity
Just take a sec to think about it
How screwed we would be without it

I fucking love science

And I love Rosalind Franklin
Cause I wanna die remembering why
The truth is more important than winning a prize

There's nothing here to argue against
It's a process not an ideology
And I fucking love science
