New filk: She Blinded Me For Science

[Arthur T.]

Title: She Blinded Me For Science
ttto: She Blinded Me With Science by Thomas Dolby and J. Kerr

The best way to do testing
Is plain for everyone to see
So I am not protesting
The secret thing she did to me
She blinded me for science
Because I am an enrollee

She is also testing blind
(Blinding her for science testing)
(Testing!)
That's how good tests are designed
(Blinding her for science testing)
(Testing!)
(Testing!)

It's double-blinded testing
Blinding her and blinding me
Although I am requesting
Real drug is never guaranteed
She blinded me for science
(She blinded me for science)
As ordered by the referee

Now she's checking me for signs
(Testing!)
See if study's well-designed
(Blinding us for science testing)
(Testing!)
(Testing!)

We're double-blinded testing
Overcoming bias now
They're checking that we're testing
In ways that science will allow
They blinded us for science
(They blinded us for science)
We know results will be good now

(Designing of the protocols - they're wonderful!)

[Spoken:]
Now
You can believe it!
All the biases
Done away with by just this simple technique
All the preconceptions
Will go away
[Transitioning back to singing]
And so we are attesting
The best way to do testing
Is plain for everyone to see
So I am not protesting
The secret thing she did to me
She blinded me for science
(They blinded us for science)
Because I am an enrollee

Guessing a lyricist's opinions from his songs is as futile as
guessing an author's opinions from his novels.
