The closing credits of the 1994 “Momentum” episode of Bill Nye the Science Guy delivered one of the show’s smartest musical jokes: a parody of Morrissey’s song “The More You Ignore Me, the Closer I Get.” Retitled “The Faster You Push Me,” the spoof reframed the original’s romantic misery as a lesson in physics, performed by a fictional artist named “Momentisy.” Sung in an unmistakable Morrissey-style croon, the parody leaned into melodrama while explaining momentum with straight-faced precision. It’s a perfect example of how Bill Nye’s end-credit songs blended sharp humor with real science, turning alternative rock angst into an unexpectedly memorable learning tool.
