Leukocyte (BTS Dynamite Parody)

Acapella Science brings us a parody of "Dynamite" by BTS, which explores the functions of leukocytes.  


Lyrics:

Cause I I I got the SARS tonight

So watch me ring up my blood cells of white


First up

Coming through the blood

Neutrophil come slow your roll

Eat up micro bods

Gummed up when your guts explode

Hang tight waiting monocyte

Hulk out til you're chowing em down

Signals from my killer cells

And those weak and infected go "blao"


This is getting heavy

Better get the lymph nodes all ready

Got a fever running

And these signal cytokines flooding

Defense overrun

we need to send a sample on

Dendritic, you gotta go off

so let's go!


Cause I I I got the SARS tonight

So watch me bring peptides to the meeting site

Fly into the lymph node with the details of the bug

So I can fight it off by leukocyte


Bring a friend, join the crowd

Together filling up the node

New white lymphocytes

Of the thymus and the bone

Scatter-gun, million-to-one

Which ones are compatible?

"Ladies and gentlemen

I got the antigen

So you can keep your eyes on the ball"


This is getting heavy

Can we get T's trained already

Helping, teaching, gunning

Plasma cells with antibods flooding

These made optimal

We need to save a sample of

Archive em, y'all others go off

And let's go


Cause I I I got the SARS tonight

So watch me bring trained cells to the battle site

Target a specific set of features of the bug

So I can fight it off by leukocyte


Slide through the side to find the right site of the fight

Fight it leukocyte

Fly like a guided viricide bind to the site

Fight it leukocyte

Target cells exhibiting a feature of the bug

So I can fight it off by leukocyte


Die for the tribe deny the shock play

Try and imbibe a fly-by-night prey

Pry, nullify the viral home bay

Fight it off leukocyte


Spy to provide a vital dossier

Vie to supply the binding Y shape

Scry, then apply a cytokine aide

Fight it off leukocyte


Cause I I I got the SARS tonight

So watch me bring all guns to the firefight

Target tainted tissue with a team to SWAT the bug

So I can fight it off by leukocyte


Cause I I I got the SARS tonight

So watch me bring the fire to the parasite

Integrated synergy to seek and squash the bug

So I can fight it off by leukocyte


Guide what survived to multiply righting the blight

Right it leukocyte

Time to resign, the high supply cost to requite

Bite it leukocyte

But I will keep this memory with features of the bug

So I can fight it off by leukocyte
