Perhaps I qualify as one of those "tolerable subhumans." I don't know the song mentioned but I do remember a "Yell" performed by Engineering Students at the University of California (this dates from the early 1940s) that the song reminded me of:

Engineer's Yell

"E to the X dy! dx! E to the X dx!

Secant,cosine,tangent,sine Three-point-one-four-one-five-nine;

Square root, cube root, QED. Slip stick! Slide rule! 'ray, U.C.!"

As one of those who is not fully human, I have only the foggiest idea of the meaning, if any, of any of it.
