  1. I love this!I was just trying to find the song to show my boyfriend. I, too, went to SCICON! Thanks for sharing

  2. This is great! I wanted to find the song to share with my nephews. Went to SCICON in 1983 and it still gets in my head sometimes. lol

  3. I went to Science Camp at Heartland Campground in California. (I went back to the same campground 4 years later for a “disco weekend” with Young Life).
    I remember this song! I also remember one about animal droppings, with lyrics like “Scat makes the world go round”, and “So next time you step in a lump of scat…”
