I saw this poem in The Black Hole Wars:
(to the tune of the macarena)
The Maldacena
You start with the brane
and the brane is BPS
and you go near the brane
and the space is ADS
who knows what it means
I don't, I confess
Eh Maldacena!
Super Yang-Mills with very large N
gravity on a sphere,
flux without end
who says they're the same,
holographic, he contends
Black holes used to be a great mystery,
how we used d-branes
to compute 'd energy
and when d-brane is hot,
the free energy
M-theory is finished,
Juan has great repute
the black hole we have mastered
QCD we can compute.
Too bad the glue spectrum
is still in some dispute
