Sing your Heart out at the Pop-up Talk
Sometimes, you need to loosen up after spending all day at the Goldschmidt conference. Professor Geoff Gilleaudeau from George Mason University did just that at the Pop-up talk on Wednesday, by taking the famous song from The Beatles’, “Let it be,” and making his own cover song called, “Geochemistry Song.”

Geoff Gilleaudeau presents, "Geochemistry Song"
[Verse 1]
When I find myself in times of trouble
Thermo-Fisher comes to me
Trying to sell me
Mass spectrometry
[Verse 2]
But in my hour of darkness
My Thermo tech is nowhere to be
Oh why did I choose
Geochemistry?
[Verse 3]
And when the broken-hearted students
Crying in the lab agree
There will never be an answer
Geochemistry
[Verse 4]
For though they may be parted
Reviewer 2 will surely make them see
There will never be an answer
Geochemistry
[Chorus]
Chemistry, chemistry
And a bit of mass spectrometry
There are no words of wisdom
Geochemistry
[Verse 5]
And when the night is cloudy
The plasma torch still shines on me
Until there is no argon
Geochemistry
[Verse 6]
I wake up to the sound of music
My sequence file calls to me
But I’ve had 5 cups of coffee
And I’ve really got to pee
[Chorus]
Let me pee, let me pee
Let me pee, let me pee
Oh, why did I choose
Geochemistry?
[Verse 7]
But on a breezy summer night
On the beach of the old city
We raise a glass to
Geochemistry
[Verse 8]
To friends and mates old and new
There is no place I’d rather be
I’m so glad I chose
Geochemistry
[Chorus]
Chemistry, chemistry
And a bit of mass spectrometry
There still might be an answer
Geochemistry
Chemistry, chemistry
And a bit of mass spectrometry
There really could be an answer
Geochemistry
But now I’ve had 6 pints of beer
And I’ve really got to pee [insert high note here]
