Rappin' about CERN's Large Hadron Collider! Links below...
Apparently YouTube fixed the sound! Still, Will Barras made two options trying to get around the original problems:
Other YouTube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3iryBLZCOQ
Vimeo: http://www.vimeo.com/1431471?pg=embed&sec=1431471
Vimeo is downloadable if you log in.
There has been a lot of interest in the original mp3, lyrics, and vocals for remixing. You can find all that here:
https://www.msu.edu/~mcalpin9/lhc_rap/largehadron.html
There's also been interest in translation. You can get a subtitle-free version from Vimeo here (downloadable):
http://www.vimeo.com/1730771
With backing track available here (with and without Hawking-style voice):

Go ahead and translate, rap it, and post it! Just give us a shout-out, and it's probably a good idea to include the following credits ;-)
Images came from:
particlephysics.ac.uk, space.com, the Institute of Physics, NASA, Symmetry, and Marvel
I forgot Einstein Online, and they called me out: http://www.einstein-online.info
And I forgot Physics World (dunno what I was thinking when I put together the extra dimensions bit). Steve Abel set me to rights (but made no demands): http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/print/403
The talented dancers doubled as camera people, with some work by Neil Dixon. Stock footage is CERN's.
Will Barras is responsible for the killa beats:

And thanks to MC Hawking, who first thought of using computer-voice to bring Stephen Hawking to the world of rap :-)

The rapper has a day job (we agree this is a good thing) as a science writer.

They'll have a lot of data to sort. 15 million GB per year, actually. Want to get involved and donate your computer's downtime? Try LHC@home:

January 7th, 2009 at 18:39:14 "The big bang never happened you idiots." Would you then please explain these facts. 1) Background radiation 2) Redshift 3) Expanding Universe 4) General relativitys incompatibility with a sationary/eternal universe 5)Why the quantity of elements is exactly what big bang theory predicts (George Gamow) 6)Why the temperature of the universe is -270°C just like the big bang theory predicts. 7) The cosmic evolution of galaxies over time from not ordered to ordered.
January 7th, 2009 at 19:02:13 I may be a science enthusiast (To an extent), but I think this is pretty good. But the rap? Please, I prefer something else. This is just creepy... ._.

January 8th, 2009 at 00:01:00 This is made of sheer awesome, utter win, and total brilliance. :D
January 8th, 2009 at 00:23:59 The people who made the video actually work for CERN.
January 8th, 2009 at 00:46:58 All music is instantly made about 10 times as awesome when science is involved. Like with the periodic table song thing.
January 8th, 2009 at 01:09:57 i hear that,
January 8th, 2009 at 01:32:56 No, you are more open minded than most when it comes to music.
