Nerdgasm: "Bio-Anthro Style"

Greetings nerdy-pants,

In the past few weeks, my boyfriend has been going through a bit of a craze over a certain song of South Korean origin.  It features a 38 year old overweight man dancing suggestively in possibly one of the most brilliant, subtle social commentaries ever to grace the music industry.  Ok...so that might be a bit of an exaggeration.

But seriously, if you haven't seen Psy's "Gangnam Style" yet, you need to.  It's shot WONDERFULLY, cleverly, and is full of little details that I love.  It's making waves in South Korea because it satirizes wealthy society in the country, bringing light to how superficial the culture is.  Think of this as a parody of LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem":
Fucking brilliant, right?  Well my not-so-inner nerd could not just let this sit un-dorkified, so ladies and gents, I present to you...



LYRICS: "Bio-Anthro Style" (Sung to"Gangnam Style")

Bio-anthro style
Anthro style.

Squint in the lab,
Looking at minuscule bone pieces.
I'm trying to decide if this is ilium or pubis.

Gotta ID this specimen right now for this paper
Cuz if not, I'm fucked--so fucked!

It's a Hominin!
I so should not be having trouble;
It's a Hominin!
I took osteo this last quarter;
It's a Hominin!
Bones are hard when they are exploded.
But a Hominin! It's a Hominin!

Based on the angle,
I'd say that this frag's ilium (left!).
It's ilium (left!).
I have that done!
But there's a problem:
It's been hours
And I've just seen
I have three-hundred more to mother-fucking go, go, go!


Bio-anthro style.
Anthro style.
It-it-it-it-it's
Bio-anthro style.
Anthro style.
It-it-it-it-it's
Bio-anthro style.

Heyyyyyyy sexy primate!
It-it-it-it-it's
Bio-anthro style.
Heyyyyyy sexy primate!
It-it-it-it-it's
Hey.

Anthropologists, we only do it if it's dirty,
Banging hotties with my homies
Washburn, Frisancho, and Leakey
Out of the lab, we people-watch, and then we call it "field work."
Selfish genes at play at Walmart!

That is incorrect!
Bones is ID-ing the wrong landmark.
It is incorrect!
You can't see that feature at that angle.
It is incorrect!
That's a pterygoid not a wing of the sphenoid
Incorrect!  Bones is incorrect!

You can't sex a fucking person
With a piece (hey!)
Of one bone. (duh!)
Use your cranium.
You know the pelvis
Works the best.
It's what you need
To bone--I mean---to sex someone really well, well, well.

Bio-anthro style
Anthro style.
It-it-it-it-it's
Bio-anthro style.
Anthro style.
It-it-it-it-it's
Bio-anthro style.

Heyyyyy, sexy primate!
It-it-it-it-it's
Bio-anthro style.
Heyyyyy sexy primate!
It-it-it-it-it's...
(Hey!)

I don't agree.  You must be kidding me.
Baby, baby
Man did not evolve from Chimpanzee.
It's the law.  Selection did it all.
Baby, baby
Evo pressures made Neanderthal.

Know what I'm saying?

Bio-anthro style!

Heyyy sexy primate!
It-it-it-it-it's
Bio-anthro style.
Heyyy, sexy primate!
It-it-it-it-it's
(Hey!)

Bio-anthro style!

Yeah THAT just fucking happened.  I can't begin to describe how difficult matching the cadence of the Korean language to English lyrics is.  I really want to make the music video now, though, not going to lie.

Until next time, dweebs <3
