The other day I was thinking of what type of music goes best in the lab. I used to work with an older PhD who loved to play opera while he ran experiments. Myself, I've become a power metal fan over the years, after quitting punk army in the early days. Which is why I roll my eyes when I see mohican kids trying to freak their elders.....
Anyway, while I listen to MANOWAR in the background, I have came up with some tunes for your local mad scientist. here they are:

1)"Science Gone Too Far"- The Dictators.
2)"They Blinded Me With Science"- Thomas Dolby.
3)"Funtime" - Iggy Pop ("Last night I was down in the lab...").
4)Any of the background music from "The Outer Limits."
5)"Clone Warfare"- Chrome.
6)"Frankenstein"- The Edgar Winter Group.
7)"Cults Of The Shadow"- Therion (hilarious line about "the great charge of alchemy").
8)"Monster Mash"- Bobby "Boris" Pickett.
9)"Genetix"- The Stranglers.
10)"The Elements Song"- Tom Lehr.

There has to be a lot more, but these are all that I can think of at the moment.
