A Capella Science - More Than Birds

A Capella Science es un proyecto del físico canadiense Tim Blais en el que aúna su pasión por la ciencia con el interés que siempre ha despertado la música en él. Así, inspirado en Weird Al Yankovic, Bill Nye, Mike Tompkins o Vi Hart comenzó a componer canciones paródicas a capella con temática científica. En gran parte, sus letras tratan de física, pero hace unos días estrenó una canción en la que habla de por qué los pájaros son dinosaurios. La dejamos a continuación:

La letra de la canción es la siguiente:
Pigeons and doves coo They're not two birds but one from a deeper view With life that always holds true One descent but if you only knew How clearly Gulls and geese have had their roots revealed
More than birds The fossils have the clues to make it real By the mid-Jurassic they had warm bodies And hollow airy bones
What would you do If raptors grew wings and flew More than birds the stones reveal Archaeopteryx is real What would you say If I told you birds convey More than eggs and tasty stew They're a strain of dino too
More than birds
How could life give rise to Cockatoos from such a monstrous plan Selection pressure substitutes their Jumps for glides To powered flight it tends Adapting or T-Rex's feathers and wishbone
More than birds By oviraptor's breeding can be shown Cause like birds they laid their eggs sequentially And sat on them to grow
What would you do If you died while stuck in goo? More than birds in amber sealed Dino plumage is revealed What would you say If our rooks and birds of prey Are the ancient kings made new Cause they're avian dinos too
More than birds
