I can fuse atoms at room temperature

I was listening to that new song that all the kids like, “Handlebars.” And I dig it. It’s groovy. Swell, even. But it also occurred to me that the one line,
I can split the atom of a molecule/of a molecule
That just doesn’t play for me. I could go into the chemistry and physics of it all, but that would be pedantic and rude.
So, how about we just fix it, mkay?
I can split an atom of uranium/of uranium
Or, my favorite,
I can fuse atoms at room temperature/at room temperature
That’s better, isn’t it?
[Wik] Another thing, when I first heard that song on the radio in the car I thought it was a parody. Mocking megalomania and whatnot. Saw the video later and was stunned by the disconnect between my perception of the tone of the song and the apparent intent of the artist.
