The Big Bang song

1 Comments

You've heard of the Big Bang, but have you heard of this BIG BANGER from Horrible Science? Sing along for the rest of time to this iconic bop!

What is the Big Bang?

The Big Bang is a theory (a scientific theory!) that the Universe started with a huge explosion, creating every particle to help make the stars, the planets, all life and even jam sandwiches - pretty incredible right?

The theory also says the Universe is always expanding (yeah, yeah, yeah!) and it could keep expanding forever (yeah, yeah, yeah!). Love space, stars and planets? Check out the Big Bang song, and sing along!

Lyrics for the Big Bang song from Horrible Science

Ladies and gentlemen,

I'm going to tell you a story of a little place called the Universe,

and it all began with a Big Bang.

Well, it wasn't really a Big Bang. It was...

An infinitely dense point of light.

Hot particles and energy are packed in tight.

Suddenly inflates like a big balloon.

Faster than the speed of light.

The Universe grew and grew.

The Universe is slowing down it starts to cool.

Making hydrogen from subatomic particles.

Strong nuclear forces and gravity

started pulling them together

creating the stars and galaxies.

Don't you know, it's expanding?

Big Bang set it free.

Starting from a single point.

We call a singularity.

It's expanding

and it's looking fine.

Releasing all the pieces of the cosmos.

Making space and time.

It's expanding.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's expanding.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Expansion of the Universe is far from done.

The Milky Way the Solar System and our Sun.

The Earth gets shaped from gas and dust

and water appears on the surface all over its solid crust.

Life emerges from the ancient goo.

Single cells and dinosaurs and mammals, too.

Evolution gives us the human race

who turn their eyes up to the stars and start to study space.

And they see it's expanding.

And it's going fast.

Quicker than it did before.

Quicker than the first big blast.

It's expanding

and it's looking fine.

Yeah, the cosmos getting bigger.

Growing all the time.

It's expanding (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

and it's been going for more than 13 billion years.

It's expanding (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

and it could go on forever.

It's expanding, (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

a bit like the chorus of this song, actually.

It's expanding.

Come on. Let’s finish with a Big Bang.

A one, a two, a three...

Er, are you OK?

Yeah.

Still standing.
