Large Hadron Rap
Rappin’ about CERN’s Large Hadron Collider! Links below…
Apparently YouTube fixed the sound! Still, Will Barras made two options trying to get around the original problems:
Other YouTube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3iryBLZCOQ
Vimeo: http://www.vimeo.com/1431471?pg=embed&sec=1431471
Vimeo is downloadable if you log in.
There has been a lot of interest in the original mp3, lyrics, and vocals for remixing. You can find all that here:
https://www.msu.edu/~mcalpin9/lhc_rap/largehadron.html
There’s also been interest in translation. You can get a subtitle-free version from Vimeo here (downloadable):

With backing track available here (with and without Hawking-style voice):

Go ahead and translate, rap it, and post it! Just give us a shout-out, and it’s probably a good idea to include the following credits
Images came from:
particlephysics.ac.uk, space.com, the Institute of Physics, NASA, Symmetry, and Marvel
I forgot Einstein Online, and they called me out: http://www.einstein-online.info
The talented dancers doubled as camera people, with some work by Neil Dixon. Stock footage is CERN’s.
Will Barras is responsible for the killa beats:

And thanks to MC Hawking, who first thought of using computer-voice to bring Stephen Hawking to the world of rap ![]()

The rapper has a day job (we agree this is a good thing) as a science writer.

They’ll have a lot of data to sort. 15 million GB per year, actually. Want to get involved and donate your computer’s downtime? Try LHC@home:

Nerds can rap too!! That was the - a bunch of nerds in a “rap” video! Just joking - although singing sucked, I hope they find what they are looking for. Whatever it is, it will undoubtedly be useful for the humanity. I just hope they don’t accidentally invent some super-strong weapon and just generally do their jobs better than that chick raps…
