A recent Michigan State University physics and scientific writing grad has had more than half a million hits on her YouTube particle physics rap.

Kate McAlpine created her video, The Large Hadron Rap, while working in a laboratory cavern beneath Geneva, Switzerland, where scientists are trying to recreate conditions that followed the Big Bang.

"Rap and physics are culturally miles apart," said McAlpine." And I find it amusing to try and throw them together."
