My Electron: This is for my favorite particle, the tiny electron. When I was taking a tour at Fermilab and learned how the humble electron helps get data to the scientists, I knew I had to give this lepton some shine. Guest verse by Karl Olson.

lyrics
[verse 1]
symbol may be a lower case e but
electrons are upper case to me
like Brits with and their Ecstasy,
that’s what you do to me, little e
fast, furious around the nucleus -
google dat shit if you’re curious
E L E C T R O N -
that’s how you’re spelling my friend
outer shell fellow dancing festive,
Joker asking “Why So Negative?”
that’s his charge that he carries building block,
it’s elementary
Lepton, First generation like
gray Sony Plaaaay-stations
he’s Fermion with a little mass but
he and his kind can shock your ass
[verse2]
next up what I’m telling all ya’ll
why you can’t Shadowcat through walls
magnetic field makes things solid
ask a scientist - get some knowledge like
lined up atoms spin like Sprees
boost electron’s force like SHEESH!
they can get a push, get a pull but I
wouldn’t call all that a miracle
insane clown disgraced lost cases I
wanna defibrillate your faces
J, Shaggy, you guys are jerks -
its damn sexy knowing how things work
ignorance is tragic, magnets are science,
not magic - so I’m hoping this verse costs me every single listener of Insane Clown Posse
[verse3] - karl olson
no gossip, so i'll won't tell,
which atoms bond to my shell
but my role is so prevalent,
connection's deep and more covalent
literally at the sub atomic,
feels like this bass sub sonic
seems my bonding role is chronic,
even when it's just ionic
switched my bonds so please don't hate,
you'll be my precipitate
besides you were so sedate,
attraction did not equate
really this ain't prosecution,
i just need electrocution
if you stayed in my solution,
it'd mess with my revolution
[verse4]
Little e is happening man like
Little Italy in Manhattan, <DAMN>
you’d be sad, mad at me if i
took away electrons in your batteries
he can’t get enough big ups like
Van de Graff’s mess your wig up
he got his own microscopes and
fist fights cancer givin’ hope
he’s a particle, he’s a wave,
beta decay his birthday
positron handshakes annihilates
and that creates gamma rays
I don’t want no magic wand, all I want is my ‘lectron
I don’t want no dummy blonde, all I want is my ‘lectron
