Ode to Joy - Beethoven. The joy of learning, understanding, and discovery - and the revelling in unbridled curiosity.
Eleanor Rigby - the Beatles. Lonely, unrewarded, and often chasing a futile and misguided hope.

A little learning is a dangerous thing; drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring:
there shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, and drinking largely sobers us again.

I just typed 'Science Anthem' into Youtube, with some rather pleasing results.
They're a bit cheesy, but the sentiment is wonderful. here are some of them.
The symphony of science - The poetry of reality
Symphony of Science - Our place in the cosmos
p.s. I've not composed an original score for a while now, not since i did this thing for NBC. I'm tempted to put something together using the lyrics from the above videos.

What am I trying to say? What words will express it? What image or idiom will make it clearer? Is this image fresh enough to have an effect? Could I put it more shortly? Have I said anything that is avoidably ugly?
When I was born I had no concept of race, nationality or religion... And I still don't.

I particularly like this suggestion
"Ode to Joy - Beethoven. The joy of learning, understanding, and discovery - and the revelling in unbridled curiosity."
I think this version covers the truth and beauty of science as well as any other work ever has or will.
At any rate, anything but this

Indeed... That is perhaps the best one, really. I would have posted it myself had you not already.

The sun is a miasma of incandescent plasma.
The sun's not simply made out of gas: no, no no
The sun is a quagmire, it's not -- made of fire-
Forget what you've been told in the past!

Was so happy when I saw they corrected themselves. I didn't even realise they were still putting out albums until someone linked me to the more recent stuff.
Although it's arguably less catchy than the original.

I didn't know that either, I will have to check it out when I'm not at work

But seriously, I'm surprised this vid hasn't been mentioned.
7.4 x 10^6 views is pretty good for any video. Democracy?
