Everyone who grew up during the '90s have been bombarded with this song to the point where the lyrics are burnt into our heads. Didn't matter if you were hearing or deaf, the theme song of "Bill Nye, the Science Guy" sticks for life.

I use this song as a case study where SEE fails. ASL, in an artistic format, is the only signed method that can translate the song properly. And yes, my interpreter would do an ASL version of this song... which was interesting.
It's actually impossible to do it in SEE, and it's hard to keep up in "contact sign" or PSE.
I need to figure out how to get my camera to work... and work up the confidence of running the risk of being a moronic idiot, which I will look like anyway!
Thanks Cherri for helping with the timing of the captioning.
