Emo Songs for Emo Scientists

This song I dedicate in rememberance of the days I spent in Bio21 Purcell Labs with mass spectrometers and MHC peptides.. and hope I dont have to go back in again.. cos if I do it means something mucked up.. again..

Daniel Powter - Bad Day (Biochem/Mass Spectrometry Remix)

Where is that Q-STAR(1) we needed the most?
The circuit board blows and the peptides are lost
They tell me thats seriously damm gay
Don't know why I'm just so suay
And I just need to carry on

Flow pump's on line but flow rate is low
Whats that beeping sound and the control's red glow?
Pressure spikes and the system cuts offline
The sample feed jams everytime!
And I don't want to carry on!!!

Cause I had a bad day
The Mass Spec. broke down
I took so damm long just to realise I found
That I really don't know
How the circuit board fried
And who the hell might changed the voltage applied?!

I had a bad day
The ION-TRAP died
I'm coming back down in my holiday time
Its really damm gay
I'm just so damm suay

Well I need a mid-sem holiday
But I still got assignments wahlau-eh!
Think I need some sauvingnion..

So where are the hols I need it the most?
Screw that mass spec and my effort it cost..

Footnotes:

(1) Q-STAR and ION-TRAP are different versions of Mass Spectrometers but do the same thing- cause students an enormous headache when they screw up..
