Yes, I sometimes comment on the adverts on TV. Deal with it.
Anyway, there's an advert that uses this song that has those two lines right next to each other. Clearly, that songwriter missed a third of his science classes, and quite significant ones too, considering chemistry is what links physics to biology.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that song's been bugging. On a vaguely related note, I saw the poster for Piranha 3DD, advertising it as having "Double the Ds" and automatically worked out that would only be right if D=2.
Yeh, if D equalled anything else, then you'd get a squared result, but not a doubled one. Really, if they wanted to double the D's rather than square them, then the film should be called 6D, since we already had 3 to start with.

We're really overthinking this, but I don't care.
