Vinyl

In chemistry, vinyl or ethenyl is the functional groupCH=CH2, namely the ethylene molecule (H2C=CH2) minus one hydrogen atom. The name is also used for any compound containing that group, namely R−CH=CH2 where R is any other group of atoms.

An industrially important example is vinyl chloride, precursor to PVC, a plastic commonly known as vinyl.

Vinyl is one of the alkenyl functional groups. On a carbon skeleton, sp2-hybridized carbons or positions are often called vinylic. Allyls, acrylates and styrenics contain vinyl groups. (A styrenic crosslinker with two vinyl groups is called divinyl benzene.)

Etymology

The etymology of vinyl is the Latin vinum = "wine", because of its relationship with alcohol (in its original sense of ethyl alcohol). The term "vinyl" was coined by the German chemist Hermann Kolbe in 1851.

Vinyl polymers

Vinyl groups can polymerize with the aid of a radical initiator or a catalyst, forming vinyl polymers. In these polymers, the double bonds of the vinyl monomers turn into single bonds and the different monomers are joined by single bonds. Vinyl groups do not exist in vinyl polymer; the term refers to the precursor. It is sometimes important to ascertain the absence of unreacted vinyl monomer in the final product when the monomer is toxic or reduces the performance of the plastic. The following table gives some examples of vinyl polymers.

Vinyl (2000 film)

Vinyl is a 2000 documentary film by Toronto filmmaker/record collector Alan Zweig. In the film, Zweig seeks not to talk to people who collect vinyl records to discuss music, but rather to discuss what drives someone to collect records in the first place. Zweig spends a large portion of the film in stylized self-filmed "confessions", where he expounds on his life in regard to record collecting, feeling it has prevented him from fulfilling his dreams of a family.

In addition to celebrities like Canadian director/actor Don McKellar and American Splendor creator Harvey Pekar, Zweig speaks to a variety of record collectors. Collectors include a car wash employee who claims to own over one million records and claims to have memorized the track listing of every K-Tel collection he owns, a government employee who refuses to organize his collection because he doesn't want people to come over and a man who threw out his large record collection rather than sell or give it away because he didn't want anyone else to own it.

    Vinyl

    by: Lady Gaga

    [Snoop Dogg]
    Greetings loved ones
    Let's take a journey
    [Katy Perry]
    I know a place
    Where the grass is really greener
    Warm, wet and wild
    There must be something in the water
    Sippin' gin and juice
    Laying underneath the palm trees
    (Undone)
    The boys break their necks
    Tryin' to creep a little sneak peek
    Let's runaway
    And don't ever look back
    Don't ever look back
    My heart stops
    When you look at me
    Just one touch
    Now baby I believe
    This is real
    So take a chance
    And don't ever look back
    Don't ever look back
    We drove to Cali
    And got drunk on the beach
    Got a motel and
    Built a fort out of sheets
    I finally found you
    My missing puzzle piece
    Baby, baby, baby ohh
    Like baby, baby, baby noo
    Like baby, baby, baby ohh
    I thought youd always be mine,mine (oh oh)
    For you, I would have done whatever
    And I just can't believe, we ain't together
    And I wanna play it cool, But I'm losin' you
    I'll buy you anything, I'll buy you any ring
    And im in pieces, Baby fix me
    And just shake me til' you wake me from this bad dream
    Chorus:
    One love
    My one heart
    My one life for sure
    Lemme tell you one time
    (girl I love, girl I love you)
    I'ma tell you one time
    (girl I love, girl I love you)
    And I'ma be your one guy
    You'll be my number one girl
    Always makin time for you
    I'ma tell you one time
    (girl I love, girl I love you)
    I'ma tell you one time
    (girl I love, girl I love you)
    You look so deep
    You know that it humbles me,
    Your by my side and troubles them don't trouble me
    Many have called but the chosen Is you
    Whatever you want shawty I'll give it to you
    Your world is my world (Your world)
    And my fight is your fight (My fight)
    My breath is your breath
    And your heart (and now I've got my)
    Chorus:
    One love (Yeah yeah yeah)
    My one heart
    My one life for sure
    Lemme tell you one time
    (girl I love, girl I love you)
    I'ma tell you one time (Hey)
    (girl I love, girl I love you)
    And I'ma be your one guy (one guy)
    You'll be my number one girl
    Always makin time for you
    I'ma tell you one time
    (girl I love, girl I love you)
    I'ma tell you one time
    (girl I love, girl I love you)
    Looking for your hot stuff
    Baby, I need it
    Looking for your hot stuff
    Baby, tonight
    I want your hot stuff
    I got to feel it
    Got to have your hot stuff
    Got to have your love tonight
    Ooh yeah
    I want you back
    Ooh yeah
    I want you back
    I remember the love in your eye
    When you took my hand and said goodbye
    I don't know where the river flows
    "Flirt"
    Flirt, flirt!
    You wanna chill in my Lamborghini,
    You wanna look but you don't wanna see
    So what you think of that look in my eyes?
    You think it's for you?
    You think you read minds?
    You better watch where you're putting those hands,
    You better stop if you're making more plans
    'Coz everything you do makes you look like a fool
    [Chorus]
    You're looking for some dirt,
    I'm lifting up my skirt
    I'm searching for a light under me in my purse
    You always think the worst,
    I just wanna flirt
    You found me on my knees,
    Next thing you're saying "tease"
    I'm trying to find my phone and my keys, not your sleaze
    My spell is like a curse,
    I just wanna flirt
    What part of "No" don't you really understand?
    One-syllable word, old man?
    You got a problem with my space?
    Get your look out of my face
    'Coz I've had it with your lies
    You're pretty damn close to being unfine
    'Cuz everything you do makes you look like a fool
    [Chorus]
    I'm just so lucky to be walking on a wire,
    I'm up so high that I can barely feel your fire
    You can't touch me, no,
    That's just a dream
    Fill up my cup, mozoltov
    Look at her dancing, just take it off
    Let's paint the town, we'll shut it down
    Let's burn the roof, and then we'll do it again
    Let's do it, let's do it, let's do it, let's do it
    And do it and do it, let's live it up
    And do it and do it and do it, do it, do it
    Let's do it, let's do it, let's do it
    'Cause I gotta feeling, woohoo, that tonight's gonna be a good night
    That tonight's gonna be a good night
    That tonight's gonna be a good, good night
    A feeling, woohoo, that tonight's gonna be a good night
    That tonight's gonna be a good night
    That tonight's gonna be a good, good night
    I'm a be, I'm a be I'm a I'm a I'm a be.
    I'm a be, I'm a be I'm a I'm a I'm a be.
    I'm a be, I'm a be I'm a I'm a I'm a be.
    I'm a be be be be I'm a I'm a be.
    I'm a be be be be I'm a I'm a be.
    I'm a be be be be I'm a I'm a be.
    [Fergie:]
    I'm a be on the next level
    I'm a be rockin' over that bass treble
    I'm a be chillin' with my muthafuckin' crew
    I'm a be makin' all them deals you wanna do
    I'm a be up in that maylist flicks
    Doin' 100 flips, and I'm a be
    Sippin' on drinks cause
    I'm a be shakin' my hips
    You gon' be lickin' your lips
    I'm a be takin' them pics
    Lookin' all fly and shit
    They told him don't you ever come around here
    Don't wanna see your face, you better disappear
    The fire's in their eyes and their words are really clear
    So beat it, just beat it
    You better run, you better do what you can
    Don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man
    You wanna be tough, better do what you can
    So beat it, but you wanna be bad
    Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
    No one wants to be defeated
    Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
    It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
    Just beat it, beat it
    Just beat it, beat it
    Just beat it, beat it

    They're out to get you, better leave while you can
    Don't wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man
    You wanna stay alive, better do what you can
    So beat it, just beat it
    You have to show them that you're really not scared
    You're playin' with your life, this ain't no truth or dare
    They'll kick you, then they beat you,
    Then they'll tell you it's fair
    So beat it, but you wanna be bad
    She was more like beauty queen from a movie scene
    I said don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one
    Who will dance on the floor in the round
    She said I am the one who will dance on the floor in the round
    [2nd verse]
    She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene
    Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
    Who will dance on the floor in the round
    [Bridge]
    People always told me be careful what you do
    Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
    And mother always told me be careful who you love
    Be careful what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth
    [Chorus]
    Billie Jean is not my lover
    She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
    But the kid is not my son
    She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
    [3rd verse]
    For forty days and forty nights
    The law was on her side
    But who can stand when she's in demand
    Her schemes and plans
    'Cause we danced on the floor in the round
    So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice
    (Do think twice)
    [4th verse]
    She told my baby we'd danced 'till three
    Then she looked at me
    Then showed a photo of a baby cryin'
    His eyes were like mine
    Come on dance on the floor in the round, baby
    [Bridge]
    People always told me be careful what you do
    Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
    She came and stood right by me
    The smell of sweet perfume
    This happened much too soon
