Music for QA and R&D

Can you recommend songs with lyrics expressing "quality assurance" and "research & development?" Like, I vaguely remember a dub reggae song (but not the title or artist) that went, "Top quality dub! This is the best quality music!" that would be perfect, if I could only find it, and then there's Research which is kinda on point-ish. More? Help?
Still Alive from Portal absolutely references R&D

Migos record label is Quality Control, and they sometimes reference it in their songs in lyrics, or with a tag ("QC, the label"), or yelling DJ. Sorry, no specific song suggestions.
See this and this.

The song "Baby Boy" by Sean Paul has an interjection where someone yells "certified quality".

Best answer: Guided by Voices' "I Am a Scientist" seems possibly applicable, depending on the type of research.

If you are talking about software, "Bugs" by Pearl Jam might fit the bill for QA.

Donald Fagen's IGY comes to mind
Trust machines to make big decisions
Programmed by fellas with compassion and vision
Well be clean when their work is done
We'll be eternally free and eternally young

Response by poster: Hey! I Am a Scientist by the Dandy Warhols (which I found through Limeonaire's answer) wins for R&D! QA...?

Response by poster: Quality by Barenaked Ladies! Dopey song, but just right for my purposes! Thanks, everyone!

Positively negative testing blogger QA Hates You often has good suggestions.
