Turn your volume up, it's kinda quiet. Sorry for the poor audio quality.

Additional apologies for our tired-out-of-our-minds singing voices.

I'll Balance You, to the tune of "I'll Stand By You" by the Pretenders.

oh,
why you look so wrong?
you're not very long...
you're missing coefficients.

you,
aren't a real reaction,
until i see you through,
cause you need some numbers, ooh.

your reactants don't equal,
what's on the other side,
you need some coefficients,
i'll use this handy guide..(hold up periodic table)..

to balance you,
I'll baaaaaaalance you,
til side one equals side two,
I'll balance you!

so,
if you are aluminum,
and you add O2
youre gonna be aluminum oxide

but
you will have two O2
on the left and three
sitting on your right side

you need to add a 2
in front of your product
and a 3
in front of your reactant

to balance you
I'll baaaaaaalance you,
til side one equals side two,
I'll balance you!

but the aluminum isnt equal!
weve still got some work to do,
to balance you.

now, now youve got four Al
on your right side
and only one on your left

Ill balance you
I'll baaaaaaalance you,
til side one equals side two,
I'll balance you!

add a four in front of Al
on the reactant side
and now youre through

I balanced you
your side one equals side two
I balanced you!
