THE THREE NESSES (stiff-, hard-, and tough-) by Dr. James D. Livingston (Tune: "Material Girl", by Madonna) Click here to play music in the background   Some boys give me polymers, and want my company Most of them are not so stiff, but nylon pleases me Some boys give me ceramics, and most are not so tough But I like covalent bonds, and diamonds are good stuff 'Cause we are living in a material world, and I am a material girl Yes, we are living in a course-3 world, and I am a course-3 girl! Some boys give me metal things, and some are not so hard But if it's multi-karat gold, I let down my guard Some boys give me composites, and that's the best stuff yet If it comes in the shape of a red Corvette  'Cause we are living in a material world, and I am a material girl Yes, we are living in a course-3 world, and I am a course-3 girl!
