Animalia Chorus — A Capella Science

Based on “Messiah” by George Frideric Handel

Animalia!

Our cells are phospholipid membranous

Animalia animalia animalia animalia

But have no form-restrictive containers

Animalia animalia animalia animalia

Our high motility is what shapes us

For heterotrophy as predators

Chordata, annelids and ctenophores

Animalia!

The opisthokonta clade

Has become

The kingdoms of fungi

And animals

In the domain of eukaryota

ATP made inside mitochondria

But we contain no plastids like chloroplasts

With blastulae as triplo- or diploblasts

Kingdom of

Mollusca

Tardigrada

Arthropoda

Chordata

The phylum of

Larvacia

Agnatha

Amphibia

And Mammalia

Classis of

Rodentia

Cetacea

Carnivora

Primates

The order of

Lemuridae

Tarsiidae

Atelidae

Hominidae

Family of

Gorilla

and Pongo

Chimpanzee

And homo

The genus of

Homo sapiens sapiens

(But we all came from before the Cambrian)

But we all came

From a concestor in the Precambrian

Protostomes

(And deuterostomia)

With desmosomes

(Gap junctions, tight junctions)

And microtubules nucleated by centrosomes

Coelomates with hollow cores

Gastrulate from blastopores

And we chordates have tails and gill slits and notochords

Echinoderms

(Platyzoa, Nematoda)

And Arthropods

(Porifera and Cnidaria)

Animalia animalia animalia animalia

Animalia!
