Letra de
Big Bang Theory Theme

La canción Big Bang Theory Theme, también conocida simplemente como The History of Everything, fue escrita e interpretada por la banda canadiense Barenaked Ladies. Fue compuesta especialmente como tema de apertura para la popular sitcom americana The Big Bang Theory. La letra resume de forma humorística y simplificada la historia y evolución del universo, desde el Big Bang hasta el desarrollo de la vida humana y sus logros.

Our whole universe was in a hot dense state,
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started. Wait
The Earth began to cool,
The autotrophs began to drool,
Neanderthals developed tools,
We built a wall (we built the pyramids),
Math, science, history, unraveling the mysteries,
That all started with the big bang!

"Since the dawn of man" is really not that long,
As every galaxy was formed in less time than it takes to sing this song.
A fraction of a second and the elements were made.
The bipeds stood up straight,
The dinosaurs all met their fate,
They tried to leap but they were late
And they all died (they froze their asses off)
The oceans and Pangea
See ya, wouldn't wanna be ya
Set in motion by the same big bang!
It all started with the big BANG!

It's expanding ever outward but one day
It will pause and start to go the other way,
Collapsing ever inward, we won't be here, it won't be heard
Our best and brightest figure that it'll make an even bigger bang!


Australopithecus would really have been sick of us
Debating how we're here, they're catching deer (we're catching viruses)
Religion or astronomy, Descartes or Deuteronomy
It all started with the big bang!
Music and mythology, Einstein and astrology
It all started with the big bang!
It all started with the big BANG!
