Scientific Names for the Song Them Bones?
 
Does anyone know the scientific names for the song Them Bones, I have tried to google it, and cannot find it?

I am not sure what you mean.  Do you mean the title of the song?  I did a quick check.  Some call it Dem Bones or Dry Bones and there are slightly different versions of the lyrics.

I didn �t see any scientific names.  Is there another version with scientific terms?  Have you tried to search You Tube?


Edit:  They have a few different versions too, but most are the original version.

I found this song from Hannah Montana.  It is called the Bone Dance.  It was from her TV show.

Looks useful, and the words appear on the screen.  I wish the tune was a bit better....  :)

Hi Mahalo,
 
If you mean, �What are the scientific names for the bones mentioned in the old gospel song? �, the web site  www.free-online-health.com/language/.../bones-directory.htm shows a skeleton with some of the 206 bones of the human body listed.

Hi all
Ballycastle- the link says it is broken. Thanks though..
 
I am trying to find the answer key to a worksheet that I found, asking for the scientific terms to the song "Them Bones."
 
 
For example-
the cranium is connected to the _______ bones
The metatarsals are connected to the _________
The tibia is connected to the ______________
The ___________ is connected to the pelvic bone
The Femur is connected to the ____________
The ________________ is connected to the rib bone
The ________________ is connected to the coccyx bone
The carpal bones are connected to the radius and ________
The clavical is connected to the _____________________
The patella is connected to the ________________ and fibula
 
 
We are studying the body parts, and several of my students asked me for these answers. I don �t want to tell them that I do not know, so I am seeking help.
 
Thanks in advance,

Hi again Mahola,  If you copy and paste the link into your seaarch engine, you �ll get diagrams with all the bones named.  Alternatively, enchantedlearning.com has a very clear diagram with bones all named.

Here are lyrics to the Hannah Montana song and one other that I found.  I haven �t found the one you are looking for yet.

Everybody knows the bones
Just had to find a way
Everybody know what I �m talking �bout
That �s how I �ll get an A

My body �s many parts
And this is where it starts
Phalanges I have 10
And Metatarsals then

I got some Tarsals to
I �ll put them in my shoe
The Fibula is next
According to my text

Then comes the Tibia
That ain �t no Fibia

And now up to my knee, yeah, yeah, yeah
That �s the patella to me

Chorus:
We �re doing the bone dance
You study the answers
Again and again �till I get it right

We �re doing the bone dance
You dance and you learn it
And we won �t mess up this test

We �ll get it perfect

When I milk the cow
On Uncle Earl �s farm
I use the ulna bone
That is in my arm

Moo-Yah!!

And now I take it home
With the Parietal bone
It might be crazy
But we learn that way

Temporal and frontal too
And now we �re finally through
That makes two hundred and six
I found a way that clicks

Chant: Bone Thugs in the house

We �re doing the bone dance
You study the answers
Again and again �till I get it right

We �re doing the bone dance
You dance and you learnin �
And we won �t mess up this test
We �ll get it perfect.

___________________________________________

Chorus:
206 Bones in the Body
206 That�s all there is
206 Bones in the Body
And if you sing it right
They sound like this�.

The skull is the cranium, right on top
Immovable joint and not a soft spot
Scapula�s the shoulder blade, a real flat bone
Sternum�s in the center and protects the heart alone

Chorus

Clavicle�s the collarbone, fractures all the time�

Chorus

Radius and ulna are above the wrist�

Chorus

Phalanges, you�ll find, are in the hands and feet�

Chorus

The tibia�s the shin and the fibula - you�ll see
Is in the lower leg, just under the knee
Tarsal�s in the ankles, right near the toes
And metatarsal�s in the foot�s as far as we goes!

Chorus
