Spring 2020 UVM graduate Rose Nixon decided to merge her love of music and herpetology for her class project. Rose wrote new lyrics to Ariana Grande’s song, “Side to Side”. Check out the video and lyrics below to Rose’s rendition: “Site to Site”.

Site to Site

Site to Site
I’ve been here all night (Ambystoma)
I’ve been here all day (Lithobates)
And oh, got me walkin’ site to site
(Let them toads know)

I’m hoppin’ to ya
See you swimming over there in that wetland
Feeling like I wanna get to egg laying
And we just gotta think ‘bout crossin’ (‘Bout crossin’)

I’m crawlin’ at ya
First we gotta make sure that it’s rainy
Can’t be drying up, you know that I’m brainy
And we just gotta think ‘bout crossin’ (‘Bout crossin’)

These cars keep drivin’ way too much
Might squish us in the mud
Can’t steer clear no, ‘cause I

I’ve been here all night
I’ve been here all day
And oh, got me walkin’ site to site
I’ve been here all night
I’ve been here all day
And oh, got me walkin’ site to site (Site to site)

Been tryna hide ‘em
If a predator finds out they’ll be snacking
And the offspring that would be will be lacking
So I’ll lay a bunch and be stealthy (Be stealthy)

And now I’m crusin’
‘Cause tonight I’m movin’ far from the forest
And I know it’s gonna be herps galore
So I’ll move real quick and be stealthy

These cars keep drivin’ way too much
Might squish us in the mud
Can’t steer clear no, ‘cause I

I’ve been here all night
I’ve been here all day
And oh, got me walkin’ site to site (Site to site) x 2

I’ve been here all night
I’ve been here all day
And oh, got me walkin’ site to site (Site to site)
