lyrics

Surfaces, even seemingly smooth ones,
have microscopic unevenness.
The unevenness of two touching surfaces
catch on each other,
and this produces friction, friction, woah friction.

This creates heat and electricity,
of a static variety.
There’s no such thing as perfect efficiency,
and all because of friction, friction, woah friction.

Coulombs Law of friction requires ideal conditions, you see,
for kinetic friction not to be affected by sliding velocity.

The force that resists the relative motion,
or the tendency to such motion of two bodies,
or substances in contact
causes friction, friction, woah friction.

All work is movement,
and all movement causes
Ba ba ba da ba ba ba da da ba ba ba da
Friction

Friction, friction, beneficial when manifest as traction.
Frictional force causes negative acceleration,
which is less useful.

Ooh, friction, friction, woah,
friction, friction, woah, woah, woah. Friction.

Since this song was written,
molecular shapes and their interactions
have been implicated in
friction, friction, woah friction.
