Playlist of the Day: Serenade Our New Nobel Prizewinners!

10/4/06, 8:10 am EST

WE WON TWO NOBEL PRIZES, BITCHES! Smokin’ hot physicists George Smoot and John C. Mather shook up the science world back in the early Nineties by proving the shit out of big-bang theory. And Fire ‘N Mello (Andrew Fire and Craig Mello, pictured at left with fellow scholars the Beastie Boys) totally slayed the competition in the medicine category for their work in silencing human genes that trigger high cholestorol and other bad crap. So in an ode to the four guys who are making our country look good to the rest of the world, we’ve compiled a playlist to celebrate our collective smartness. Submit your own theories about what we should add!

  • “We Are the Champions,” Queen
  • “Genius Envy,” Teenage Fanclub
  • “The Scientist,” Coldplay
  • “My Nobel Prize,’ Mugison
  • “The Sounds of Science,” Beastie Boys
