Yankovic, Weird Al - The Brain Song Lyrics

Al: "That's all I'm really trying to say here"


Me: "And by the way, if one day you happen to wake up and find yourself in an existential quandary..."

Remember this being played at my local fair in like 2010(:

Your Brain is divided into two hemispheres
Your left controls your right side and your right controls your left side And they're both tied together in a neat little package
By the totally awesome Corpus Callosum
When you peel away that meninges layer
Wipe off that cerebro-spinal fluid
And you're looking right at the four lobes of the brain
(You all know what I am talking about, Say it with me now) Frontal, temporal, parietal, occipital
And each one's got a very special job, yeah
Each one knows exactly what to do
As you're watching my disembodied head
Your rods and cones are sending their stimuli to your thalamus Which ties up to your occipital lobe
(Which of course processes visual information)

as you're listening to these words right here
The vibrations of the scillia down in your ears
Are sending those impulses along to the temporal lobe
And I know right now you're probably thinking "Al. how can these different parts of the brain Communicate with each other?"
Well to answer that question
I'm gonna have to break it down to a microscopic level
This is a neuron, a funky funky neuron
You got your axon on the one side
You got your dendrites on the other
See the dendrites receive the signal from another neuron
Which sparks a chemical reaction in the nucleus
Creating a nerve impulse which travels down a long long myelin-coated strand
Through which the neurotransmitter molecules and vesicle of the axon terminal And as neurotransmitters jump a millionth of an inch
Across the synaptic gap
And smash into the receptors
Of the dendrites of another neuron
Connecting neuron to neuron to neuron to neuron
All across your entire brain (Oh Yeah)
The more you use your brain (your brain)
The more connections you're gonna make
And the smarter, the smarter you're gonna be (dup doowah) I'm talking bout your brain (dup doowah)

You gotta hand it to your brain (dup doowah) Yeah yeah that's your Brain

Whoa my old comment is the highest cool thanks man

Another genius gem from Al. I'm a little ticked at the guy though, because the cheapest ticket I could find to see him in 2018 in DES MOINES, IOWA was 207 bucks. I admire Al totally. But I ain't gonna worship the guy.

Unless that's somehow a veiled 27 reference, that sounds like a scalper to me. I've been lucky enough to see Al 10 times and I've never paid more than $50. If you ever can get to see him live, and I hope you can, do it. Easily one of the best and most talented performers of the modern era.

I think hes the only band that i like

I'm still hoping for a release of the visual part of Al's Brain. Hopefully one day down the line Al will upload it to his channel.
