Cataracts - A science-y cover of Macklemore’s “Cadillacs” from everyone’s favorite rapping science teacher, Tom McFadden.

If you haven’t heard of Tom, he’s a teacher at The Nueva School in the Bay Area. His students don’t just learn science, they rap it, and they rap it well. Here’s some of their previous hits:

That’s Metal (“Gas Pedal” cover)

Watson and Crick vs. Rosalind Franklin rap battle

All the Salamanders (“Drank” and “All the Single Ladies” cover)

Alfred Wegener and continental drift

Black plague vs. Yellow Fever (“Black and Yellow” by Wiz Khalifa)

And Tom’s not just a producer, he’s got rhymes of his own. Don’t miss his first hit, a 50 Cent/Jay-Z-inspired ode to the TCA (Krebs) Cycle: Oxidate it or Love It/Electron to the Next One
