I've moved this explanation here, because absent a source it seems pretty questionable:

The famous You Gotta Keep 'Em Separated line in the song came to his mind when Dexter, the singer and songwriter, was working in a lab. His job was to grow bacteria to infect viruses. When he had to sterilize two flasks in order to put in the bacteria, he heated them and put them under a hood to cool them off. But it took a very long time, thus the line: "You gotta keep 'em separated" (to make the flasks cool off much quicker).
