Idose

Idose is a hexose, a six carbon monosaccharide. It has an aldehyde group and is an aldose. It is not found in nature, but its uronic acid, iduronic acid, is important. It is a component of dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate, which are glycosaminoglycans. The first and third hydroxyls point the opposite way from the second and fourth. It is made by aldol condensation of D- and -L glyceraldehyde. L-Idose is a C-5 epimer of D-glucose.

    Teenage Dirtbag

    by: Wheatus

    Her name is Noel
    I have a dream about her
    She rings my bell
    I got gym class in half an hour
    Oh how she rocks
    In Keds and tube socks
    But she doesn't know who I am
    And she doesn't give a damn about me
    Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby
    Yeah I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby
    Listen to Iron Maiden baby with me
    Her boyfriend's a dick
    And he brings a gun to school
    And he'd sI'mply kick
    My ass if he knew the truth
    He lives on my block
    And he drives an Iroc
    But he doesn't know who I am
    And he doesn't give a damn about me
    Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby
    Yeah I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby
    Listen to Iron Maiden baby with me
    Yeeah dirtbag, no she doesn't know what she's missin
    Yeeah dirtbag, no she doesn't know what she's missin
    Man I feel like mold
    It's prom night and I am lonely
    Low and behold
    She's walking over to me
    This must be fake
    My lip starts to shake
    How does she know who I am
    And why does she give a damn about
    I've got two tickets to Iron Maiden baby
    Come with me Friday, don't say maybe
    I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby like you
    Yeeah dirtbag, no she doesn't know what she's missin
