Teach Me ʼBout Quantum Don McQuarrie lyrics

In 2010, I heard some of these points summarized in a song (FLAC) by Stephen G. Boxer's teaching assistants (Luke Oltrogge, Bob Rawle, and Keunbong Do) about D.A. McQuarrie's textbook Quantum Chemistry 2nd Edition:

Teach Me 'Bout Quantum Don McQuarrie

by Luke Oltrogge and Bob Rawle

Teach me 'bout quantum Don McQuarrie
Hamiltonia, uncertainty
These wave functions I tell ya have got me on my knees
Teach me about quantum Donald please.

Intrepid Bohr did go a speculatin' 'bout the atom hydrogen and more
He said if I postulate a station' 'nry state I fit these data really great I do.
Quantization was a new sensation, swept across the physics nation but it felt a little bit contrived
But until we see the double slit, we'll just have to hang on for the ride.

Chorus

Werner Heisenberg came after Bohr and taught us all about uncertainty.
Momentum and position cannot both be known simultaneously.
Erwin Schroedinger then claimed that a wave function exists by which a particle can be described
And he realized that in fact, the quantization naturally arised.

Chorus.
