So I was not planning to do this today. But this popped into my head for the rip-off challenge. And I learned three whole guitar chords for it. @metalfoot.- This one's for you!!!
Cubic zirconium
It's number on the periodic table's unknown
Its a proprietary secret
How that stuff is grown
It twinkles like a diamond in the sky
But it's not!
Cubic zirconium's primary use
Is to perpetuate an amorous ruse
A lover shows his deceptive ways
Towards unsuspecting fiancees
Cubic zirconium, cubic zirconium
Subject of general opprobrium!

Amazing! Love the humor of the lyrics. I learned so much and bonus points for using opprobrium in a lyric
@eas3637 Feb 2022
This is hilarious and I love how your amazing rhyming chops keep shining through. Primary use/amorous ruse is genius!!
@kenmattsson Feb 2022
OMG! This is so awesome, and who better to #rip-off than @metalfoot! You did the metalfoot style justice, and great rhyming!
@nadine Feb 2022
Haha great #rip-off. Wow, I didn't know that circonium is ZrO2! I always thought it's some weird plastic you know?! This is precious and shines. And what is opprobrium?!?!?!
@metalfoot Feb 2022
I am honoured that you would copy my style and motif! Cubic zirconium (ZrO2) is fun stuff.
Also, https://bythefont.com/alex/5090-2020/metalfoot-80-zirconium.mp3 if you're curious what I did for the song on the element zirconium!
@mikeb Feb 2022
I thought maybe you ripped off Adam Sandler, this reminded me of his Hanukah song!
@abudabard12514 Feb 2022
Man I thought I'd NEVER find a song that used (and rhymed!) the word 'opprobrium'!
I agree with this on a fundamental level #justiceforcubiczirconium
