Any budding song writers in the B'TWIN Community?

If I end up with that going round my head for the rest of the day there will be trouble!

When I was a science teacher I used to write science lyrics to well known tunes to help my students learn some key ideas. Some songs are just asking for it: blood sugar regulation to "Sugar, Sugar", metallic bonding to "Bend Me, shape me", and "Every Breath You Take" just looks after itself as you can see here (see if you can spot the 'deliberate' spelling mistake)...
Others were a bit more subtle (intermolecular forces to "Wonderwall", nuclear fission to "Two become one" by the Spice Girls).
It was great fun picking an appropriate tune and then trying to write the alternative words. Any suggestions on a tune for a song about BTwin road bikes...?

Could you expand on Triban the red framed road bike to the tune of Rudolph?

Showed it to number 3 son, who thought it was cool! Would love to see the others to try to help him.

The video was taken by a student a couple of years ago when we used the song as a stimulus for discussing how to conduct research on teaching with our masters degree students. I had the lyrics to all the songs up on a website with a sing along midi file playing in the background for each song, but then freeserve cut my account with no notice and I couldn't rescue the webpages. I'll see if I can dig them out and send you the lyrics and a link to a midi file to sing along to. How old is no. 3 son?

You look much younger in your videos than you do on your forum/Strava pic Chris. I had you down as a grandfather figure but it seems you're about my age!
