Blame it on the Bouguer

Melodi: Blame it on the boogie
The Earth is always draggin’
And it wouldn't be a bad thing
But values are a-changing
And that's no lie

We weren’t allowed to teeter
With a gravimeter
From that night I kissed our field goodbye

Don't blame it on the Eötvös
Don't blame it on the moon tides
Don't blame it on Free-air
Blame it on the Bouguer

Don't you blame it on Eötvös
Don't blame it on moon tides
Don't blame it on Free-air
Blame it on the Bouguer

That nasty Bouguer bugs me
But somehow it has dragged me
To make up for the mass until the ellipsoid

It changed the facts completely
And another force would pull me
Anomalies they make me feel annoyed

Don't blame it on the Eötvös
Don't blame it on the moon tides
Don't blame it on Free-air
Blame it on the Bouguer

I just can't
I just can't
I just can't do gravity

I just can't
I just can't
I just can't do gravity

Don't blame it on the Eötvös
Don't blame it on the moon tides
Don't blame it on Free-air
Blame it on the Bouguer

The Free-air changes moves me
Ignoring masses truly
And a moving Eötvös keeps me in my stance

When full of chunky Dunite
Then underground is less light
Bouguer’s got me in a super trance

Don't blame it on the Eötvös
Don't blame it on the moon tides
Don't blame it on Free-air
Blame it on the Bouguer

Eötvös
moon tides
Free-air
Bouguer

Eötvös
moon tides
Free-air
Bouguer

Historien bag

Vi var lige begyndt på 2. år af universitetet. Vi havde geofysik, hvor vi lærte om en fyr ved navn Bouguer. Det lød lidt som "boogie". Det kom der denne her sang ud af.
