Playing With Uranium

Inspired by David Hahn

As performed by Duran Duran

Lyrics from Lyrics Domain

In for an evening

Of light entertainment

And who would believe you

Could worry the neighbours?

Come on over to my place

Playing with uranium

If it blows up in your face

See you on the other side

Come on over to my place

Playing with uranium

Reinvent the human race

You just got the invitation

We go undiscovered

'Cause people are careless

One way or another

They'll never forget us

Come on over to my place

Playing with uranium

And if it blows up in your face

See you on the other side

Come on over to my place

Never be the same again

Reinvent the human race

You just got the invitation

Playing with uranium

Never be the same again

Because we're playing with uranium

There can be no doubt that David Hahn's reckless actions inspired some admiration in many people. In “Done Right”, you can read one person he inspired to pursue a more successful version of a similar project. There are many other people, however, who were also influenced by the idea of building a nuclear reactor. It is an enticing idea, to create your own version of a scientific marvel that is nuclear power. If you are one of those people, I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors, and recommend to you that more stringent safety measures should be taken than those pursued by Hahn.

David Hahn has become an internet phenomenon, with many articles written about his exploits. Books and television shows have been made, and a movie is planned for next year.
