Lyrics
[Produced by Bob Marley and Lee Perry]
[Recorded at Jamaica and Kingston]
[hyper-modern production with clear vocals, no autotune, Dolby Atmos mix, high-fidelity, high-definition audio and wide stereo, Jamaican Male Vocals]
Larynx, (oh yeah) in your neck
C3 to C6, It's your voice box above your chest.
About 5 centimetres big, sit's continuous with the trachea, (uh-huh) High voice equals smaller larynx, sorry bout that twink.
Breathin', talkin', stoppin' food, without having to think.
It's like a little vagina in your throat, and uses muscles to open and close.
[Chorus]
Supplied by the vagus Nerve, the larynx is the best.
Inferior to Oropharynx, and superior to the chest.
Without it we couldn't breath, sing, or digest,
So sing this song and pass your test.
Larynx, ohhh Larynx,
Working without us having to think
Weird vagina thing in ya neck, sticky and pink
Let's go through the muscles of the vocal folds,
these are the things that the cartilage holds.
Thigh-ro-ari-tee-noid, inside the vocal folds Adjusting tension and shape, that's how the story's told
Lateral criso-ari-tee-noid, bringing folds together Adduction is their game, they work in any weather
Posterior crico-ari-tee-noid, pulling folds apart Abduction is their function, they're vocal separation arts
Inter-ari-tee-noid muscles, they've got a job to do Bringing those vocal folds close, working for me and you
Crico-thy-roid muscles, stretching vocal folds with ease Adjusting pitch precisely, hitting all those high keys
Nine cartilages, make it strong
Three single, three paired, can't go wrong
Thyroid, cricoid, cuneiform too
Arytenoid, corniculate, epiglottis, shaped like a spoon.
The Epiglottis is the guardian of the airways,
It tips to cover the laryngeal inlet, so nothing enters that we don't expect
Anything other than air entering the larynx,
triggers the cough reflex.
Let me hear you!
[Chrous]
Supplied by the vagus Nerve, the larynx is the best.
Inferior to Oropharynx, and superior to the chest.
Without it we couldn't breath, sing, or digest,
So sing this song and pass your test.
Larynx, ohhh Larynx,
Working without us having to think
Weird vagina thing in ya neck, sticky and pink
The Thyroid cartilage, is made of two plates,
In men they'll help you attract mates
They fuse together at the laryngeal prominence
Known as the adam's apple to assert your dominance
Vocal folds, Speech is the thing that they allow,
Vestibular folds, close the glottis when we swallow,
They're are known as the false vocal cords,
They sit superior to vocal folds.
Supraglottis, glottis, subglottis too
Three parts workin', just for you
Muscles and ligaments, hold it tight
Pitch and volume, sound just right
Supplied by the vagus Nerve, the larynx is the best.
Inferior to Oropharynx, and superior to the chest.
Without it we couldn't breath, sing, or digest,
So sing this song and pass your test.
Larynx, ohhh Larynx,
Working without us having to think
Weird vagina thing in ya neck, sticky and pink
