The Symphony of Science is a project taking words from famous scientists and using an autotuner to create music. It's popular; the first one has over 3 million hits on YouTube!

This newest version has statements by a dozen different scientists, all talking about what science is and what it does. As Richard Dawkins says, 'Science is the Poetry of Reality.'
