about

A song I wrote about the world's longest continuously running laboratory experiment. I first heard about it on a Radiolab episode about time and have been checking the site each day ever since!
You can read more about this amazing, decades and century-spanning experiment and see the livestream of the Pitch Drop Experiment here: smp.uq.edu.au/content/pitch-dr...

lyrics

80 years
8 drips
still nobody has
witnesssed it.
To the livestream
I'm glued
within the next year
the next drip is due!

Pitch Drop!
Pitch Drop!
All eyes are on
the bitumen again.

1927
Professor Parnell
it won the Guinness Record
Ig Nobel Prize as well.
An experiment to show
surprising properties,
the fluidity
and high viscosity!

Pitch Drop!
Pitch Drop!
All eyes are on
the bitumen again.

Pitch Drop!
Pitch Drop!
All eyes are on
the bitumen again!
