The SOLUTIONS Song - Based on the melody, "Don't Stop Believing!" Mr. Edmonds

This song parody will reinforce some concepts regarding "solutions" in science. It distinguishes "solute" from "solvent" and emphasizes some of the characteristics of a solution and aqueous solutions. It is sung to the tune of "Don't Stop Believing" recorded and performed by Journey ( and a selection in the TV hit, "Glee".) The songwriters are Neal Schon, Jonathan Cain, and Steve Perry.

Intro 1) A solution is a type of mixture, that is homo- gen-eous. It means that it's the same throughout, the same through-out. It is the best mixed mixture, of two or more sub-stan-ces. When one of the components is wa-ter, it's a-que-ous. The major por-tion of the solu-tion, the thing that does the dissolving, It bears a special name for its job, it is called the sol-vent. The other part of the solu-tion, is the thing that gets dissolved. It also bears a special name, it's the sol-ute. Refrain: Solu-tions are made of The solute and the sol-vent, The solvent it does the ..... It does the dissolving. The sol-ute is les-ser .... It's the substance that gets dissolved. Solu-tions the best mixed mix-ture! 2) A solution is a type of mixture, that is homo- gen-eous. It means that it's the same throughout, the same through-out.
