Another example of biochemical dismutation reaction is the disproportionation of acetaldehyde into ethanol and acetic acid. While in respiration electrons are transferred from substrate (electron donor) to an electron acceptor, in fermentation part of the substrate molecule itself accepts the electrons.
The Last Worthless Evening. The Last Worthless Evening is a song written by John Corey, Don Henley, and Stan Lynch. It was a single recorded by Henley in 1989 which reached #21 on US charts. The song was included on Henley's third album The End of the Innocence that same year. The song is rumored to be about actress Michelle Pfeiffer.
The man who wrote the song, Larry LaPrise, died last week at 83 in Boise, Idaho. He wrote the tune for the Sun Valley, Idaho, ski crowd in the late 1940s, but it took a recording by big band leader Ray Anthony to make the Hokey Pokey a nationwide phenomenon. LaPrise didn't receive royalties for the song until the 1960s, when its rights were purchased by country star Roy Acuff's publishing company.
