Music about ATP

Who could imagine that the music Yellow Submarine, from The Beatles, could be transformed in a song about ATP? Dr. Ahern (www.davincipress.com/metabmelodies.html) does!

We All Need Just a Little ATP

Instructor sings
In the cells, inside of us, there's a sugar on adenine
Which is linked, to phosphate groups, and you know it as ATP

Everyone Sings:
If we build up a lot of ATP, we've too much energy, metabolically
If we build up a lot of ATP, we've too much energy, metabolically

Instructor sings
And the cellular decree, calls for storing up the energy
So we save, it chemically, building acids onto ACP

Everyone Sings:
Making fat stores a lot of energy, creates NADP, and uses ATP
Making fat stores a lot of energy, creates NADP, and uses ATP

Instructor sings
When we need, some energy, we burn fats in fancy cell machines
Acids all, get shuttled in, on the backs of little carnitines

Everyone Sings:
We break acids every hour today, in mitochnodri-ay, to acetyl-CoA
We break acids every hour today, in mitochnodri-ay, to acetyl-CoA

Instructor sings
One more thing, about this tune, should be remembered by, all of you
Burning fat, converts a few, FADs to FADH2s

Everyone Sings:
NADH is a product too, that you can surely use, when NAD's reduced
NADH is a product too, that you can surely use, when NAD's reduced
