The song is a tribute to Marie Curie. I thought everyone knew that.

I blame Oprah.

Then you’re an awesome chemist, but I also blame Oprah.
Because if it was 42 tears, we’d know the secret of life, the universe, and everything.
And if you hitchhike to the part of little old New York that runs into Times Square, you will be where the underworld can meet the elite.
