Spirit of Play

All together now... (you can hear this one by using the player at the top of this page, or click here to download it) a song about Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, obviously:

It’s always been a problem, right from the very start
Do I go with the flow or take a stand apart?
Follow my head or listen to my heart,

Am I a wave or a particle, wave or a particle,
A wave or a particle - ooh, what do I do?

I asked Schroedinger’s cat but it didn’t answer back

Don’t look too closely, you might upset the game
Are we all acting strangely, or do we stay the same?
Why not give up, it’s only a name?

Am I a wave or a particle, wave or a particle,
A wave or a particle - ooh, what do I do?

I asked Schroedinger’s cat but it didn’t answer back

Don’t sweat the small stuff, or maybe you should
You can make your calculations but they won’t do much good
Might as well count magpies or knock, knock, knock on wood

Cos I’m a wave and a particle, a wave and a particle,
A wave and a particle, well, ooh, what do I do?
