Songs about science X: drilling’s killer songs - September 24, 2008

The offshore drilling debate rumbles on in the US. And it just got musical.

Republican phrase ‘drill baby, drill’ (mentioned here earlier this month) has been the subject of a Wired music contest. You can see the winning entries by Clay Corrello and Ken Sercy over on their website.

However that Wired story also links to this gem, which uses the same title as a previous Great Beyond post from August on this topic: Arron Tippin’s Drill Here, Drill Now. (At this point I should probably admit that I was totally unaware this was the title of a song when I used it. It’s also the title of a campaign by Newt Gringrich.)
