A hot song with a Latin beat about the jets of blazars, which are quasars whose jets have near-light flow speeds in a direction almost directly toward us, beaming their radiation into our line of sight. Many innuendos based on scientific terms.
A semi-humorous song about Einstein's special relativity (travel near the speed of light) and general relativity (strong gravity). Written for science students but fun for all sentient beings in the cosmos!

If we trash the Earth with global warming and deaths of species, there's no other hospitable place in the Solar System. Targeted to politicians who cater to businessmen whose only priority is short-term gain. A good song for Earth Day.
