Here's the video!!
Please consider the following established facts:
A. In 1879 Gilbert and Sullivan composed "Modern Major General" for their comic opera Pirates Of Penzance. This song is widely regarded amongst music experts as "way too damn fast." (you can see and hear it here.)
B. In 1959 Tom Lehrer parodied "Modern Major General" in a song about the chemical elements, called "The Elements." (you can hear it here.)
C. In 2010 the CBS sitcom The Big Bang Theory featured an episode in which Sheldon Cooper sings "The Elements" in a drunken state. (you can see and hear it here.)
D. In 2010 Daniel Radcliffe, best known for portraying Harry Potter, sang "The Elements" in its entirety on Britain's "The Graham Norton Show." Daniel was not drunk. (you can see and hear it here.)
E. Steve Goodie is a huge fan* of Harry Potter and of The Big Bang Theory.
6. Steve Goodie has written a parody of the parody "The Elements" entitled "The Big Bang Theory Song." Here is that song. (And here's the video!)
Piano, vocals, lyrics, production: SG
Music: Sir Arthur Sullivan
(This song is dedicated to the memory of Carol Ann Susi... thanks Mrs. Wolowitz)

Rock me Big Bang Theory. Your intro sounds like it could be part of a parody of a Falco song.

I originally was going to comment and say what does this song have to do with the big bang theory and then I remember there was a TV show which I watched once and enjoyed so I guess I would like to say that maybe the title should really be called The Big Bang Theory TV show song so people who don't watch TV that much won't get confused about the title. Other wise you sang well and I like you showing the piano playing by itself in the video but I guess I'll have to watch the show a lot more to get the jokes in this song.

Great job, Steve! :) And if one FuMP parody track about "The Big Bang Theory" isn't enough for you all, check out my old school hip-hop ode, "Sheldon's Delight" right here at the FuMP! :D http://www.thefump.com/fump.php?id=1384
