Shiitake mushroom is by far one of the world’s most popular edible mushroom species. Known for its rich and robust flavor, it is used extensively in East Asian foods and cherished among gourmet chefs around the globe for it’s attractive culinary features. Although prized for its superior taste and texture, it is also a potent medicinal mushroom variety and immune system modulator. Comprised of beta-glucans and a number of polysaccharide components such as lentinan, emitanin and KS-2, the mycelium has been extensively researched for it’s potential pharmacological actions.

A song about Macromolecules (a.k.a. Biomolecules, Carbon-Based Molecules, or the molecules of life) and Nutrition (Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, and Nucleic Acids), based on PSY’s “Gangnam Style.”

Lyrics written by and song sung by a simple high school science teacher named Mr. Hsu.

Special thanks to Mr. Moore, Mrs. O’Brien, Mr. Kelly, Mrs. Wiemer, Mr. Walker, Mrs. Bourisseau, and Mrs. Brem for helping out by dancing and being filmed!

This song and video have been made solely for educational purposes. Its level of depth and detail into various macromolecules (biomolecules) are aimed at High School Biology students (at least the ones I teach). If you find errors or omissions (i.e. I didn’t discuss enzymes), this is due to the fact that I’m trying to make a song that appeals to students, AND I’m being constrained by describing a relatively complex topic through a highly repetitive song that was originally written in Korean.

Of course, a big reason for making this video was to perform the dance and film it.

I also performed this song for my students in class before our macromolecule test. If you’re lucky, you might find a video of such a live performance somehwere in the vast internet (quite a few of them were recording me singing and dancing it in class, after all). A powerpoint goes with this, as well, so that the words and education I am trying to get through are more clear.

Lyrics:

Molecules Gone Wild!
Bio Style!

Carbohydrates provide the energy for your life!
The simplest form, like glucose, is known as a monosaccharide
Combine two, and make a larger sugar called disaccharide
The largest is a polysaccharide!

Lipids are the fats!
3 fatty acids with a glycerol make up the fats:
Triglycerides with only single bonds are saturated fats,
But if there’re double bonds they now become unsaturated fats
Don’t eat too much fat!

Monomers build to polymers filled
With C, H, O! Hey!
Molecule’s macro! Hey!

One with HO, other with H, so
Bond and go! Hey!
Release H2O! Hey!

Dehydration Synthesis is underway!!!

Molecules Gone Wild!
Bio Style
Mol-Mol-Mol-Mol Molecules Gone Wild!
Bio Style
Mol-Mol-Mol-Mol Molecules Gone Wild!

Many Polymers-mers-mers-mers:
Molecules Gone Wild!
Many Polymers-mers-mers-mers!

Proteins: the building blocks that make up your whole body
Your skin, your hair, your muscles – need protein to get the hotties!
Break down polypeptide to amino acids in your body
Nitrogen comes to the party!

Nucleic Acids!
The famous one is DNA that’s known by all you kids
With 2 polynucleotide chains linked to make it valid,
Which breaks into single nucleotides when it’s digested;
Phosphorous added!

When you eat food, to get in the mood (to study),
Molecules will flow! Hey!
Straight down your throat! Hey!

Need to break those big polymers, so
Here’s H2O! Hey!
Splits to H and O! Hey!

Hydrolysis is what I just now displayed!!!

Molecules Gone Wild!
Bio Style
Mol-Mol-Mol-Mol Molecules Gone Wild!
Bio Style
Mol-Mol-Mol-Mol Molecules Gone Wild!

Many Polymers-mers-mers-mers:
Molecules Gone Wild!
Many Polymers-mers-mers-mers!

Food deforms
Into its simplest forms!
When you eat it, break it down,
Then it reforms!

Now you’re informed!
So please study more!
Study, Study,
Read your notes and textbook

You know what I’m saying?

Molecules Gone Wild!
