So, it was finals week, and my suitemate Mary was studying for her Bio 101 final when I came back from taking mine. I sat down next to her and began messing around on my guitar, and I don't remember how it happened, but we wrote a song. It's to the tune of "Breakfast at Tiffany's".
We dedicate this song to all the freshman Bio majors at Gonzaga and our combined agony during last semester's finals. Let's keep holding on!

The Origin of Species

You say, we've got nothing in common
No common ancestor to draw from
But I say that you're wrong
Just look at my phylogenetic tree
Our species were meant to be
We all came from pond scum

And I said, what about, the Origin of Species
Invented by Charles as he sailed on the high seas
And he came to an island inhabited by birdies
And he said, adaptation's the one thing they got

Those apes, they look so dumb and hairy
And isn't it quite scary that one could be your dad?
So what now, do we invite them over
To watch football in October
Or just hunt them for food?

(Chorus)

You'll say, the ocean's come between us
Natural selection has come between us
But I really don't care
We're all part of one big happy family
Those cyanobacteria are friendly
Let's go home and party

(Chorus)

major
