Jeff Mondak songs
I've received quite a lot of email from teachers regarding my song with Alex Stangl, "Pluto's Not a Planet Anymore." One teacher requested that I put together lyrics about Newton's Laws of Motion. This was quite a challenge!
This is another song from Sergio Wals' 2008 CD "Michael Closed the Bathroom Door." Tracks from the CD can be downloaded by clicking here. And you can purchase the whole CD here.
*Note: This song was #1 on the Songramp most-played chart (sometimes alternating with "Pluto's Not a Planet Any More") from August 4 to August 17, 2008, and again January 14-20, 2010, March 11-17, 2010, October 27-29, 2010, January 10-11, 2011 and December 2-8, 2011. Thanks for listening!
The National Youth Choir of Scotland performs another version of "Laying Down the Laws of Motion," one in which acclaimed composer John Hearne wrote choral music to accompany my lyric.
Laying Down the Laws of Motion
Words by Jeff Mondak
Music by Sergio Wals
Performed by Sergio Wals and Alex Stangl (spoken intro by Jeff Mondak) Engineered and Produced by Alex Stangl
The physicist will not insist
You learn the wizard’s potion
But minds will grow if students know
Of Newton’s Laws of Motion
Isaac Newton studied forces
Forces make things start and stop
Students taking science courses
Learn these laws to stay on top
Things in motion stay in motion
Things at rest will stay at rest
Inertia’s our initial notion
Know it and you’ll past the test
We’re laying down the law
We’re laying down the law
We’re laying down the laws
Of motion
The next law’s also worth a mention
So wisdom will accelerate
Although I sense your apprehension
A speedy lesson is your fate
With your elbow, wrist and shoulder
Here is how you must proceed
Throw a ball and throw a boulder
Greater mass means lesser speed
We’re laying down the law
We’re laying down the law
We’re laying down the laws
Of motion
One last law we’ll be explaining
Says forces always come in pairs
Newton’s law will leave you straining
When you’re climbing up the stairs
Each step you take is called an action
Push a wall, it pushes back
When you act, expect reaction
Equal and opposite, that’s a fact
We’re laying down the law
We’re laying down the law
We’re laying down the laws
Of motion
