Well, with C&EN Benevolent Online Overlord Rachel calling a #ChemSummer blog carnival, how could I resist? Let's work together to build a chemistry-themed summer playlist!
Here are the rules for this one:
- To keep it interesting, nominate only single-word, single-substance song titles (Abbreviations are OK).
- No generic descriptors like "elements," "chemistry," "stuff," or "drugs."
- Commonly-used names, like "aspirin" in place of "acetylsalicylic acid" acceptable.
- Since I'm running this show, I have final judgment over all entries. No whining.
I'll update the list as entries come in, assigning credit where due. Please check the (ever-growing) list to limit duplicate entries!

I could go on, but I'm very much cheating as a professor I know has a website which lists every song he knows that contains an element in the name: http://www.mjmorris.staff.shef.ac.uk/elements/eofm2.html
So that'll probably add another 100 to the list!
Oh, and something I can actually contribute myself:
DeleteMercury - Bloc Party
Granite - Pendulum
Sci-enide - The Prodigy (yeah, I know that's pushing it a bit)
Shame, it's a single-word, single substance, otherwise there's:
Infra-red - Placebo

Photosynthesise - Frank Turner
Carbon Monoxide - Regina Spektor
Propane Nightmares - Pendulum
Calling granite a single substance is pushing things a bit isn't it? There are at least 3 phases in granite - quartz, feldspar and mica
