Teacher Songs #9: Chemistry Class


Semisonic - Chemistry

My high school Chemistry teacher was Mr. Dowling. He also taught Maths. He looked like Doctor Emmett Brown from Back To The Future.

Elvis Costello - Chemistry Class

That's all you need to know, really. I got a B in Chemistry, despite having very little interest in Science. I put that entirely down to him.

Today's post was just an excuse to play this video...

  1. Vintage John Otway. Who knew a song about a Bunsen burner could be so sexy!

  2. I took the bare minimum of sciences in high school and college out of pure laziness. The only teacher I remember from those classes was Mrs. Fischer for reasons that had nothing to do with class content. - Brian

    1. Unsurprisingly, most of the songs I have involving teachers touch on that very subject, Brian. I'm sure we'll get round to it!
