The protein synthesis hippie dance

Internet is a great thing and it has interesting sites like Youtube... you can find ANY thing in Youtube. Inspired by the 'PCR song' video, another one of your classmates found this...

What did people do before computer animation existed? They danced. How did people illustrate in a [allegedly] fun way protein synthesis? Well... they got a guy more boring than Professor Frink (from The Simpsons) to explain protein synthesis with a blackboard in 3 minutes and then introduce 'the protein synthesis dance' as performed by a bunch of early 70's hippies (who seemed pulled out from the set of Jesus Christ Superstar) while moving to Iron Butterfly-like music (ask your parents or google it). The image is not that clear, but it sure is amusing...!
