The Battle Hymn.

You know, there are few things in life that can not be learned almost instantaneously to the tune of The Battle Hymn of The Republic. Between the time spent crafting new lyrics, and the infectious, almost parasitic nature of the tune (much like The Song That Never Ends), whatever information you put to that song is entombed in your mind forever. It's how I learned the Krebs cycle, the geologic timescale, soil horizons, all sorts of taphonomic information...it can't be helped! That's what that song is for! Learning! (Clearly).

And while I am, at least at this point, much too modest to post a video of my own version of it (my voice is meant for the shower, and the inside of my car...not so much for the internet) in its stead I give you this amazing/animated/impassioned version by Judy Garland.

I can see you rolling your eyes at me, but seriously, watch it. It is EPIC. In every sense of the word. EPIC.



....also I love Judy Garland. <3
