"Technology vs. Nature" is a song in "Perry Lays an Egg", which takes place while Candace, Phineas and Ferb are trying to figure out how to care for the egg.
Lyrics[]
Motherhood's for life; it's not something in which you dabble
For machines not built to last, our love is only techno-babble
Mother knows what's necessary 'cause she always pays attention
That's why they say necessity's the mother of invention
Now I got you on the run
Technology: 0, Mother Nature: 1!
When a child cries out in the night, it's rarely for the washing machine!
Science can't improve upon a mother's heart,
But given time, it could trick out a spleen!
So if you think that you could build a better mother, let it go,
'Cause nature already nailed it 60 million years ago,
You see, before we'd even begun:
Game over! Technology lost, Mother Nature won!
Game over! Technology lost, Mother Nature won!
Background Information[]
Dan makes a cameo
- During the lines "Science can't improve upon a mother's heart. But given time, it could trick out a spleen!" one of the doctors looks like Dan Povenmire and one of the announcers from "The Fast and the Phineas" (which was modelled on Dan).
- Prior to confirmation of the BMI title, the song was referred to as Mother Nature Won on this wiki.
- This is one of two songs to mention a "washing machine" in the lyrics, the other being "Robot Riot" from Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension.
- The marching dance performed by Phineas, Ferb, and Candace can be seen again in "Mix and Mingle Machine", "What Do It Do?", "Super Computer", and "Ants".
