A touching story about a scientist and a fish

Lyrics:

Kala on yleisnimitys vedessä eläville kiduksilla hengittäville selkärankaisille eläimille. Yleensä sivulta litistynyttä sukkulamuotoa pidetään kalan yleismuotona. Kalojen rinta- ja vatsaevät ovat homologisia maalla elävien selkärankaisten raajojen kanssa.
Suomen yleisin kalalaji on Perca fluviatilis - tuntomerkkeinä kyljen sahalaitakuvio ja yläviistoon aukeava suu.
Suomen toiseksi yleisin kala on hauki. Hauen pohjaväri on vihreä. Sen kyljissä on vaaleita pilkkuja ja juovia. Sen pää, kita ja silmät ovat suuret.
Särki (Rutilus rutilus) on pienehkö hopeanharmaa kala. Särjen silmät ovat punaiset, mutta samalla tavalla ne pullahtavat ulos kuin muillakin kaloilla, kun oikein reilusti puristaa...

I take a knife
I shove it to your anus
I rip your guts out

FISHFUCKING! FISHFUCKING! FISHFUCKING!

Deathpunch to
Acipenceriformes
You've got some caviar

FISHFUCKING! FISHFUCKING! FISHFUCKING!

Po-po-po-pow
Says your swimbladder
When we make love

FISHFUCKING! FISHFUCKING! FISHFUCKING!

What is this smell?
It kinda turns me on
It is the smell of...

FISHFUCKING! FISHFUCKING! FISHFUCKING!

Next to your spine
I see a bloody kidney
I scratch it all out

FISHFUCKING! FISHFUCKING! FISHFUCKING!

Most are full of shit
you've got gigantic gonads
you're full of sperm

FISHFUCKING! FISHFUCKING! FISHFUCKING!

I love the way
Your gills tickle my tip
- Aquatic deep throat

FISHFUCKING! FISHFUCKING! FISHFUCKING!

I take a knife
I shove it to your anus
I rip your guts out

FISHFUCKING!

"A detailed description of one of the most important components of your immune system"

Lyrics:

You have an infection
You have intruders in your flesh
You are a battlefield
of two fearless armies

Membrane attack complex
Membrane attack complex

Together stand the complement system
Together all the three pathways
Form the trans-membrane channels
Lead cell lysis and death

Membrane attack complex
(Behold the proteins of death)
Membrane attack complex
(Behold the proteins of death)

Membrane attack complex
(Behold the proteins of death)
Membrane attack complex
(Behold the proteins of death)
Membrane attack complex

"Sometimes it's only superficial"

Lyrics:

Sun huulet on niin herkät,
että veri kuultaa oudon kirkkaana

Sun rinnat kertoo: 
oot hedelmällinen mut hämmentävän nuori vasta

Sä olet teennäinen habitaatti
en pysty suhun sopeutumaan
Sun signaalit on yliluonnollisen vahvoja
ja harhaanjohtavia

Sun iho on niin matta
torjut todella tehokkaasti infektioita

Sun hiukset ne hohtaa
et kärsi hivenainepuutoksista

Sä olet teennäinen habitaatti
en pysty suhun sopeutumaan
Sun signaalit on yliluonnollisen vahvoja
ja harhaanjohtavia

Sä olet teennäinen habitaatti
en pysty suhun sopeutumaan
Sun signaalit on yliluonnollisen vahvoja
ja harhaanjohtavia


Teennäinen Habitaatti

"Nature is a web of interactions. The deer eats the plant and the wolf eats the deer. In the end we're all consumed by the decomposers. It's only a matter of the flux of energy through the system."

Lyrics:

The flux of energy
through systems
that's the base of everything

Foodwebs, interactions
between species
another base of everything

I know my place, my place, my place
I have my space, my space, my space
I know my role – I'm not the base of everything

Landscape of fear is changing my behavior
I am a deer hiding from a predator
Trying to eat and not to be eaten
I'm making a trade-off between my food and life
Running fast keep my head up all the time
Eyes in the dark sending shivers down my spine
I'm just a pawn in this brutal gameboard
I'm giving my life for the trophic cascade

Top down, bottom up
They're controlling 
diversity of life

The last final frontier
it belongs to 
the decomposers

I know my place, my place, my place
I have my space, my space, my space
I know my role – I'm not the base of everything

Landscape of fear is changing my behavior
I am a deer hiding from a predator
Trying to eat and not to be eaten
I'm making a trade-off between my food and life
Running fast keep my head up all the time
Eyes in the dark sending shivers down my spine
I'm just a pawn in this brutal gameboard
I'm giving my life for the trophic cascade


Landscape of Fear

"It's big, it's noisy and it's a vegetarian."

Lyrics:

Norsu syö kolmesataa kiloa päivässä

Diplodocus - ihan vitun iso

Alkuhärkä - alku-vitun-härkä

Hippo - nälkäinen nälkäinen hippo

Kirahvilla on pitkä kaula

Manaatti on läski hylje 


Kun Megaherbivore askeltaa
toiset housuun paskantaa...
