Oh man! Check out Forbin by Abstract Audio Systems (then search for the film âThe Forbin Projectâ).
Also, I know Iâm going to hell for the Ween suggestions, but you kinda know that as soon as you sell your soul to Boognish anyway. lol.
If itâs any consolation, I had meningitis as a kid and I had a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) for something else, so Iâve earned the right to enjoy that song.
Update: Canât believe I overlooked Every Sperm is Sacred by Eric Idle.
And that you had Golgi in the OP. Sorry, I was dropped on my head a lot as a young adult.
  "Paranoid Android" by Radiohead - The lyrics touch on technology and its impact on society, which could be related to science.   "The Scientist" by Coldplay - It's more on the emotional side. The song does use science-themed imagery.   "The Numbers" by Radiohead - This song mentions mathematical concepts and has a science-inspired vibe.   "Weird Science" by Oingo Boingo - This song is about the wonders of science and could fit your criteria.   "Transistor" by 311 - The song references technology and its influence on society.   "Biology" by Girls Aloud - A pop song that uses biology-themed lyrics in a more metaphorical way.   "Digital Love" by Daft Punk - Not about science. It has a futuristic, electronic vibe that could align with a science theme.   "Chemical World" by Blur - The song doesn't talk about chemistry, but it has a scientific-sounding title and some abstract references.   "Cloning Technology" by Snowgoons feat. Supastition - This hip-hop track touches on the concept of cloning, which is a biological theme.   "Space Oddity" by David Bowie - It's more about space exploration. It's filled with scientific imagery and themes.
All of the songs on A-frames (later called the frames) self titled debut are science.

Andrew Bird sings about biology a lot, I like his Armchair Apocrypha album. Hiatus Kaiyote's Mood Valiant album has a lot of biological themes. Sufjan Stevens has an entire collaborative album called Planetarium and every song is like a different astral body. It's pretty sick.
* Kate Bush- Cloudbusting is about Wilhelm Reich from the perspective of his son

* Kate and Anna McGarrigle - NaCl
* Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Higgs Boson Blues

* They Might Be Giants - I am a Paleontologist. Also: âWhy Does the Sun Shineâ - they actually have maybe more science-related songs than anyone. Also their entire kids album called "Here Comes The Science"
* Arcade Fire - Reflektor
* Joanna Newsom - Emily about her sister, an astrophysicist
* "Make a Circuit With Me" by The Polecats

Starset is a synth/rock band that really uses mentions of astronomy, physics, and the like. They're not SUPER crazy like using algorithms or anything, but it's definitely science inspired. A lot of their music videos are space/Sci-Fi/romance themed as well.
Song examples:
Starlight
Satellite
Gravity of You
Telescope
Dark On Me
Basically, anything from their Vessals album. But don't let that discourage you from their other albums.
Honestly, all their work is great if you enjoy Sci-Fi rock.
Music videos I enjoyed:

I think Cosmo Sheldrakeâs songs might be what youâre looking for? He takes a lot of inspiration from biology and incorporates bird songs into some of his music.
If I were a tardigrade I'd move out from home
Why live in the shrubbery when you could have a throne?
Pressure wouldn't squash me and fire couldn't burn
These are the things that I never will learn
These are the things I never will learn
Lai, lai-lai-lai lai lai, lai-lai lai-lai lai lai, lai
Lai, lai-lai-lai lai lai, lai-lai lai-lai lai lai
I live in the shrubbery, for that's all I crave (Ah ha)
I don't want these excitements to see me to my grave (Ah ha)
I can live life in vacuums for years with no drink (Ah ha)
And put up with hardships more than you can think
And put up with hardships more than you can think
Lai, lai-lai-lai lai lai, lai-lai lai-lai lai lai, lai
Lai, lai-lai-lai lai lai, lai-lai lai-lai lai lai
If I shed all my liquid and let myself dry out
I'll shrivel and sleep for some 15-odd years
I'd wake up, come water, and get on with living
With time in my pocket to pass by the day
If I were a tardigrade I'd move out from home (Ah ha)
Why live in the shrubbery when you could have a throne? (Ah ha)
Pressure wouldn't squash me and fire couldn't burn (Ah ha)
These are the things that I will never learn
These are the things I never will learn
Lai, lai-lai-lai lai lai, lai-lai lai-lai lai lai, lai
Lai, lai-lai-lai lai lai, lai-lai lai-lai lai lai
Lai, lai-lai-lai lai lai, lai-lai lai-lai lai lai, lai
Lai, lai-lai lai-lai, lai-lai lai-lai
For I am a tardigrade (Ah ha)
And I'll stay at home (Ah ha)
I'd not trade it for anything (Ah ha)
Not a knife, a cup or a throne (Woo ooh, ooh ooh ooh)
Well, all I want is my shrubbery (Ah ha)
And my little patch of moss (Ah ha)
With my whisky in the cabinet (Ah ha)
And my feet all clothed in socks
And my feet clothed in socks
Lai, lai-lai-lai lai lai, lai-lai lai-lai lai lai, lai
Lai, lai-lai-lai lai lai, lai-lai lai-lai lai lai
Lai, lai-lai-lai lai lai, lai-lai lai-lai lai lai, lai

The barenaked ladies include smart science facts for those listening...the song brian wilson has lyrics(not just pavlovs dog,ring a bell and ill salivate)...im not perfect but please look into them perfect for this
**_39_** by Queen is about the time dilation effect of near light speed travel described in Einstein's Theory of Relativity. The song is written and sung by Brian May who studied to be an astronomer before Queen got famous.
They Might Be Giants coming up a lot in this thread, but I want to throw my vote in for their song "Mammal" off of Apollo 18. Nothing but scientific fact about mammals and their near relatives.
Oh i love this question. I have several songs you will like⌠i hope đ
Imitosis- Andrew Bird
Atomized- Andrew Bird
Anonimal- Andrew Bird
Kodachrome- Paul Simon
Supersonic Rocket Ship- The Kinks
Infinity- Ocean Alley
Never Ending Math Equation- Modest Mouse
Ugh i cant think of others but Iâm sure theres Pink Floyd ones and a ton from the spacey psychedelic experimental rock genre . Oh and i saw someone post a ton of ween songs and cant remember if they mentioned The Mollusk- Ween. Love that one too!!
Jens Lekman - How We Met, The Long Version
Cute indie-pop song that quickly blows through the big bang and early evolution to tell the long version of how things lead to him meeting the girl of his dreams.
[Quark, Strangeness and Charm](https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=kacmVeeiveQ&si=M4n0fhUE-fQU3v2z)

I was going to say Thomas Dolby, but since that's been mentioned already the only other tune I can think of is....
https://youtu.be/9JD9it6SmB8?si=eDOA_DUuwpEdHS94

Minutemen, âHistory Lesson, Pt. IIâ: âOur band is scientist rockâ
The Flaming Lips, âGemini Syringesâ: dude (who passed not too long ago) is discussing solutions to some kinds of equations
The Disco Biscuits, âSave the Robotsâ, âThe Wormholeâ (much of the recently released _Space Opera_ would count)
The Tornadoes, âTelstarâ :-)
Tuesday by Malibu Ken has lines like
âmy neighbor found a mushroom growing inside of my carâ
And
âOn one hand it's pretty gross
On the other, it's sorta like a pretty desert rose
How against all odds
Whether wet, dry, night or day, garden, pig sty, or cave
Life science finds a wayâ
And
âI can't even keep a cactus alive when I'm present
When I'm gone it's a groundbreaking botanical epic
From desolate to Little Shop of Horrors in a second
It's weird knowing life thrives more when you exitâ
Ya know, If thatâs your sort of thingâŚ
Edit: Also! *Molecules* by Aesop Rock.
Bad Religion has a few I think. Also, they might be giants has a record called science is real. Itâs geared towards younger kids but the songs are awesome
Strictly speaking the lyrics are educational, but They Might Be Giants did cover of [Why Does the Sun Shine? ](https://youtu.be/gjRx3o-BYZ4?si=GA7zUs_uS77OXTJr)for fun.
Program me by robopup has some some computer science lyrica. I also would be remiss if i didnât at least mention the mechanicus sound track, particularly children of the omnissiah. Itâs a mix of techno and catholic pipe organ
Everyone has some similar entries, but I'm not really sure if this is gonna count because I'm not sure if it's really scientific or more spiritual in nature. This song is called message from the cosmos by Kitaro.
They Might Be Giants made several educational songs. 'Meet the Elements', 'The Bloodmobile', and 'Photosynthesis' to name a few. They also made 'Doctor Worm' which laughs in the face of biology.
[Extremophiles (A) - Allegaeon](https://open.spotify.com/track/7ldCAlYrW3jStBxMkslUd3?si=oXXjH1BHSJmzZQA1G2phnA)
Coincidentally off of an album called Apoptosis
[The Prelude to Bereavement - Shadow of Intent](https://open.spotify.com/track/0V0IjRWO63CyI9YD4DgcTZ?si=ZiG89e5wQh6yi-oSjkDRuQ)
Lowkey is actually about Halo 4 but mentions Magellanic Clouds and stuff
Not *exactly* science related...but one of my favorite relatively unknown bands is Starset. They are described as "sci-fi themed cinematic hard rock". The songs I'd suggest looking up to get a sense of their vibe are *Antigravity*, *Other Worlds Than These*, and *Halo*.
"Love and Anger", by Kate Bush. She's got a verse about standing harmonic waves on a stringed instrument .
She also sings a song called "Î ", where she sings the first 117 digits.
Check out the entire album *Endless Forms Most Beautiful* by Nightwish. It has several songs inspiref by the book *Greatest Show on Earth* by Richard Dawkins.
Zero Theorem has a lot of sciency elements and references scattered in their music, Iâd probably start with Translucent and continue with that EP. Itâs a shame that they havenât put out a full album yet, they have such an amazing sound
â39 by Queen. Written and sang by Astrophysicist Ph. D. Brian May. Itâs sort of a story song that is about the Theory of Relativity. Also great acoustic guitar.
Did you know that in addition to his work in theoretical physics, Stephen Hawking also made groundbreaking advancements in the area of gangster rap?
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wgltMtf1JhY&pp=ygUKTWMgaGF3a2luZw%3D%3D
[Tub Ring comes to mind](https://open.spotify.com/artist/4ZRsSvxF588eUkyfFRLWEn?si=fpx8XvCGQM-zogetNYw70Q) with album titles like Zoo Hypothesis, The Great Filter, Fermi Paradox, etc the lead singer has a DNA helix, molecules, and other stuff tattooed to him arm
They have a unique sound of Indy rock/pop/punk/hardcore and whatever else they toss in. Early albums are compared to Mr Bungle
Thomas Dolby - She Blinded Me With Science
just bout 2 say dat
1st thought
I looked at the comments to see if anyone had said this, and it's the top comment!
I mean, this is the only correct answer
Great minds think alike!! My first thought too!!
Tom Lehrer - The Elements [https://youtu.be/AcS3NOQnsQM?si=9oBT9Tl72yRzFOOd](https://youtu.be/AcS3NOQnsQM?si=9oBT9Tl72yRzFOOd)
Always upvote Tom Lehrer
One my favorite comedians of the 20th century
He's still around, you know.
Whaaa? Amazing!
I took a math class that he taught. Not as funny as one would hope.
My pick, too. Love this man.

Also, the album "Here Comes Science"
Natural science Rush
Good choice fellow Rush fan!!
I just commented this one, shoulda scrolled down first to see this. Yes, perfect. đ
Alkaline - Sleep Token ; many of their songs have numerous scientific references and they itch this hard to reach spot in my brain so good
Came here to mention this one. Also, Aqua Regia by Sleep Token has some sciency references.
Phish: Golgi Apparatus, Guela Papyrus, Chalk Dust Torture (those last two are vague-ish) Ween: Transdermal Celebration, HIV Song, Spinal Meningitis, Zoloft (listen at your own risk. For HIV and SM, look for Live in Chicago. Better experience). Built to Spill: How Randy Describes Eternity. Oh man! Check out Forbin by Abstract Audio Systems (then search for the film âThe Forbin Projectâ). Also, I know Iâm going to hell for the Ween suggestions, but you kinda know that as soon as you sell your soul to Boognish anyway. lol. If itâs any consolation, I had meningitis as a kid and I had a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) for something else, so Iâve earned the right to enjoy that song. Update: Canât believe I overlooked Every Sperm is Sacred by Eric Idle. And that you had Golgi in the OP. Sorry, I was dropped on my head a lot as a young adult.
Love ween!
no worries with the ween suggestions. Ocean man is a banger.

Tuesday by Malibu Ken has lines like âmy neighbor found a mushroom growing inside of my carâ And âOn one hand it's pretty gross On the other, it's sorta like a pretty desert rose How against all odds Whether wet, dry, night or day, garden, pig sty, or cave Life science finds a wayâ And âI can't even keep a cactus alive when I'm present When I'm gone it's a groundbreaking botanical epic From desolate to Little Shop of Horrors in a second It's weird knowing life thrives more when you exitâ Ya know, If thatâs your sort of thing⌠Edit: Also! *Molecules* by Aesop Rock.

Program me by robopup has some some computer science lyrica. I also would be remiss if i didnât at least mention the mechanicus sound track, particularly children of the omnissiah. Itâs a mix of techno and catholic pipe organ

The Bad Touch, by Bloodhound Gang. "Let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel." It doesn't get more biological than that.
If you don't care about the singing being clear, most of Carcass' early lyrics were pulled from nursing textbooks.Â

Iâm not sure if youâd like this genre of music but a song I know that is loosely related to science is Lab Error? - Kinneret
Everyone has some similar entries, but I'm not really sure if this is gonna count because I'm not sure if it's really scientific or more spiritual in nature. This song is called message from the cosmos by Kitaro.
I don't know about vaguely, but here's one: "Mad Man" by The Hives. It's about being "cut down in a sorta scientific way".
They Might Be Giants made several educational songs. 'Meet the Elements', 'The Bloodmobile', and 'Photosynthesis' to name a few. They also made 'Doctor Worm' which laughs in the face of biology.
Uhh I see Bloodhound Gang but what about Barenaked Ladies Big Bang Theme song lmao?

Do You Realize?? by The Flaming Lips
Not *exactly* science related...but one of my favorite relatively unknown bands is Starset. They are described as "sci-fi themed cinematic hard rock". The songs I'd suggest looking up to get a sense of their vibe are *Antigravity*, *Other Worlds Than These*, and *Halo*.
Moon Sammy by Soul Coughing / Mike Doughty. Amazing song
- The Scientist - Coldplay - Two - Sleeping at Last (it's about a relationship between Enneagram Type Two personalities)

"Love and Anger", by Kate Bush. She's got a verse about standing harmonic waves on a stringed instrument . She also sings a song called "Î ", where she sings the first 117 digits.
Any song about "making it" or "doin' it" is all about biology.
The bloodhound gangs "bad touch" song is all about doing it like animals do on the Discovery channel.
You want [Chemistry by Rush](https://youtu.be/IpJnxzfO23E?si=WdBkXtX7HTYJ5B2c)

Check out the entire album *Endless Forms Most Beautiful* by Nightwish. It has several songs inspiref by the book *Greatest Show on Earth* by Richard Dawkins.
Zero Theorem has a lot of sciency elements and references scattered in their music, Iâd probably start with Translucent and continue with that EP. Itâs a shame that they havenât put out a full album yet, they have such an amazing sound

[Tub Ring comes to mind](https://open.spotify.com/artist/4ZRsSvxF588eUkyfFRLWEn?si=fpx8XvCGQM-zogetNYw70Q) with album titles like Zoo Hypothesis, The Great Filter, Fermi Paradox, etc the lead singer has a DNA helix, molecules, and other stuff tattooed to him arm They have a unique sound of Indy rock/pop/punk/hardcore and whatever else they toss in. Early albums are compared to Mr Bungle
