Whoa, I must have seen this already although I don't remember it. Before I even read the title or clicked the link I suddenly got "mud mud glorious mud" going in my head.

Ahh, Flanders and Swann! Shades from the 1950's and 60's!

Over the course of 11 years, Flanders and Swann gave nearly 2,000 live performances. Although their performing partnership ended in 1967, they remained friends afterwards and collaborated on occasional projects. (From Wikipedia)

Your offerings please me. You are granted one more month of uninterrupted LHC service. Don't blow it all on booze and hookers.

I once wrote my own super-duper-collider song. It had Hawkings saying cuss-words.

I expected something more like the intro, lyrics included, to this song.
