Researcher singing a song.

Does anyone know the song this person's singing, or the lyrics? Is it in English or is it another language?

The tune sounds a little different, are you sure it's the same song?

Yeah, maybe her rendition is slightly different. 😃 She's singing the part where it goes, "...not trying to say, that everybody wants to go. I fell in love at the seaside..."

I listened to the song again, and I heard that part. I don't know why she's singing that, I wouldn't think a band like The Kooks would be known outside of Europe.

Well, field team members can come from all over, and just travel to the research sites when it's time to work. And there's always the internet. 😃

Wow @ksigler! I asked our site manager and she confirmed it was Seaside by the Kooks!

She wrote "Haha that's me 😛 There should be more of those... lol I got bored alone with the cameras!!"

Cool, we'll have to keep an ear out for more! I enjoy these clips that reveal a little about the personalities of the field teams. 😃 Building a collection here.
