4:25Now PlayingMusical parody about the life of the "father of modern science."
LYRICS
Born in Pisa 1564
Good at science, math, music and more
But his telescope was the key to see
The rings of Saturn caught his eye
Moons of Jupiter were magnified
Mapping the Milky Way, ah -
Galileo that was his name
Galileo Galilei
Phases of Venus found
But geocentrism had clout
They called Galileo out
For casting any doubt on the Bible
They called heliocentrism absurd
Called on him to retract his words
And “abjure, curse and detest” his opinions
Galileo, that was his name
Galileo Galilei
Pope’s gonna shut him down
Galileo, that was his name
Galileo Galilei
Word’s gonna get around
Tried hard to keep his lips sealed
But his Dialogue sealed the deal
And the Inquisition found him guilty
Though they tried their best to suppress
Sentenced him to lifelong house arrest
But that didn’t stop his quest
No way
Galileo, that was his name
Galileo Galilei
World’s gonna come around
Father of modern science, ooh
And modern physics, too
No one can argue now
Einstein said he was the man
Astronomy was his jam
No one’s gonna argue now
Had two daughters and a son
Both his daughters became nuns
You’re who we look to now
Father of modern science, ooh
modern physics, too
No one can argue now
