Continental Drift: Alfred Wegener Song by The Amoeba People

The Amoeba People present "The Posthumous Triumph of Alfred Wegener", the sad but true story of a scientist and his hypothesis.

[music]

"In the year of 1910, there was a scientist whose name was Alfred Wegener."

"He noticed that the continents looked just like pieces of a broken puzzle."

"By 1915, he called it Continental Drift, it caused a rift.."

"With his fellow scientist who sang, HA HA Alfred Wegener..

"You are a crazy man"

"HA HA Alfred Wegener, you are a crazy little man.."

"They reminded him he had no proof on how or why the continents could do this.."

"and until you show just how or why, you merely have an interesting hypothesis.."

"Until this evidence we see, you don't have a theory."

"HA HA Alfred Wegener, you are a crazy man.."

"HA HA Alfred Wegener, you are a crazy little man.."

"In the year of 1930, on an expidition to Greenland, Wegener got caught in a blizzard.."

"When they finally found him, it was much, oh much too late.."

"and they buried him in a icy museum."

"30 years after he died, ....a new idea came to light."

"It changed the way geologist saw the world and brought continental drift back to life."

"Now everybody sing!"

"Yee! Haw! Alfred Wegener! You are a brilliant man!"

"Yee! Haw! Alfred Wegener! You are a brilliant brilliant man!"

"Continental Drift, Alfred Wegener's Theory! Continental Drift, Alfred Wegener's Theory!"

"Continental Drift, Alfred Wegener's Theory! Continental Drift, Alfred Wegener's Brilliant Theory!"
