I make them good genes go bad,
I make them good genes go,
good genes go bad!
You're wild type, yeah you're just an egg,
some growth hormone, we're gonna make you mutant.
Cause just one lab couldn't go so wrong.
We're gonna make transgenic flies.
Human growth hormone, add more copies,for more amplification.
We were using a vector with a metallothein promoter,
We also spliced in the human growth hormone gene.
I make them good genes go bad,
I make them good genes go,
good genes go bad!
The protoneucleus of the male gets the gene,
15% of the genomes take up the vector,
but just one gene wouldn't do much good.
We're gonna insert more copies.
We did a southern blot,
to determine proper incorporation.
I make them good genes go bad,
I make them good genes go bad.
We bred the flies in sulfate,
to activate the promoter.
The metallothein promoter activated the gene.
I make them good genes go bad,
I make them good genes go,
good genes go bad!
Oh we got a way with the lab in the back
acting like we were doing our work.
But the flies we bred grew way too large
and started eating up the students.
We tried to get away but the flies were too fast;
we really didn't stand a chance.
So we took them all out with a little bit of help
from Dr. Whaley's lab shotgun.
I make them good genes go bad.
I make them good genes go bad.
We learned our lesson never mess with genes.
We knew there would be problems but we couldn't resist.
I make them good genes go bad,
I make them good genes go,
good genes go bad!
