Another school project, another parody. This one is for bio class, if you spot any inaccuracies that are bio-related please let me know! It is to Telephone by Lady Gaga.

verse 1
First of all life’s processes require energy
solar as in light and chemical ATP
photosynthesis creates the power for plants
the sun acts as the starter, makes the chlorophyll dance
c-chlorophyll dance, c-chlorophyll dance
the sun acts as the starter makes the chlorophyll dance

verse 2
Electrons move the energy through photosytems
and chemiosmosis works ATP formation
You may think that is all there is
But you would be so wrong
Cause also there are light independent reactions.

chorus:

bond break and bonds form
similar to respiration
it involves water and
carbon fixation
repeat

eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh it’s photosynthesis
eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh yeah energy
eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh it’s photosynthesis
eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh

Bridge sort of thing:

the calvin cycle fixes C-O-2 from the atmosphere into molecules
It depends on products of the light reaction to make an organic molecule
glucose and starch along with proteins are examples of these organic molecules
the process is named after after Melvin Calvin just to let you know he’s kind of cool

Beyonce:

So, this entire process happens in the chloroplast, eh
it’s like a chromoplast but reflects green light in contrast, yeah
If plants did not have chloroplasts, it would be a disaster
with nothing to capture energy, photosynthesis cannot be.

Lady Gaga:

The PGAL that are produced from the Calvin cycle are
the material for metabolic pathways to start

Beyonce:

This process acts like plants have their own solar panels
And that’s what makes them primary producers for us
producers for us p-p-producers for us
And that’s what makes them primary producers for us

repeat form chorus to beginning of beyonce’s part!!!

I tried to sing this, but wound up laughing before I got to the chorus. :D Electron should be electrons, there's more than one. Watch out for the type o's! Are you sure "chemiosmosis works ATP formation?" I don't remember because I took AP Bio two years ago, but it doesn't sound right. :(
Check these out please! :)

This is really cool! I was trying to remember how the song went as I read, and it goes with it pretty well, from what I remember. I giggled a little lol. I don't think I have any suggestions. This was well written. I don't know much about photosynthesis, so I wouldn't know if anything was wrong. Good job! :)

Haha, this is really cool! I love jingles xD (I mean songs that are changed for school programs or something). :D I sang from the beginning to the chorus part of this poem. I didn't finish reading 'cause I don't know the tune of the rest lol. I don't actually like Lady Gaga but I love this poem. :D

Tell me if you have any more parodies. :D

Haha that was totally freakin awesome. I love the "c-chlorophyll" part especially. <3

Mysterious as the dark side of the moon.

Wow, genuinely amazed at this. You are a genius! You should write a load of these for Math, RE, Biology, Physics etc, then go round schools singing them and teaching other kids them. I'm seeing in the near future: this instead of hymns, a record deal, cds, dvds, a tour. Form a band and do this, please. You'll be rich, millionaires!

All I can say is that I LOVE THIS, and this will be a total help to students, May I ask permission to cover telephone with these lyrics? Of course, all credit goes to you. XD

PS. okay, so Blift wanted to, too...we can duet singing like the Gaga and Beyonce. XD

Reading this in school was not a good idea... I was laughing out loud so uncontrollably, I actually got sent out. Good job, I love it. No suggestions whatsoever. ♥

I couldn't get the beat right so I had to find the song's beat.
Anyway!
Cool song!
I love it.
