"Big Bang Theory Theme"
“

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 mystery
That all started with the big bang (Bang).
