Neil Degrasse Tyson has a podcast called “Star Talk”. The “theme song”, if you can call it that, has mixed in a lot of different audio sections. I’d like to get the lyrics to the entire theme song introduction.
I’ve tried searching the web, and either my Google-Fu is weak, or it’s difficult to find. I suspect the latter, since it’s more of a bunch of audio segments mixed together to form an introduction, than it is a song.
Anyway, some of the spoken word sections say “… dropped the orange like Galileo…”, and the one that really started out my quest for the words, <something, something> “… with a girl named Lizzie”.
I realize this is probably long dead, but as a Star Talk fan I must chime in that the lyric is “a girl named LUCY”-----referring to the fossilized Australopithecus found in the 70s that for awhile was the oldest hominid discovered. Evolution—science theme. Just sayin’.
The intro is actually a combination of Beastie Boys’ Ch Ch Check It Out and Jaden Smith’s Icon. I had to transcribe it and ran across this message board looking for the lyrics. So, here you go:
Ah, what’re you saying?
All you Trekkies and TV addicts; Don’t mean to diss, don’t mean to bring static. All you Klingons in your grandma’s house; grab your backstreet friend and get loud. Said, Doc what’s the condition? I’m a man that’s on a mission. Like a scientist; When I’m applying this. Wha Wha, What’s it all about?
Now get busy.
And we making money by the minute (woo). I’m about to do it way different (godly). I’m am just an icon living. I am just an icon living, living; I-I-Icon living (woo). I am just an icon living, living. I am just an i-i-icon (woo). I am not a Mayan, I’m a menace (menace). It’s wild, you can lie like a professor.
