Subject: RE: math based love songs From: SINSULL Date: 16 Feb 01 - 03:02 PM Wasn't there a true horror of a recording called the "Multiplication Song" back in the fifties? We are all ignoring that Spaw. Clever but not helpful. |
Subject: RE: math based love songs From: catspaw49 Date: 16 Feb 01 - 03:09 PM Well Sins, I generally don't make any jokes on a serious request for lyrics, but this one was just laying there and I couldn't resist. BTW, I've searched some but I don't have a clue as to what to search. GUEST....Do you have any fragments of actual lyrics or anything......something??? Outside of that, we can only hope that this rings a bell with someone........Of course that could take an "infinity." .....oops....... Spaw |

Subject: RE: math based love songs From: catspaw49 Date: 16 Feb 01 - 03:28 PM Rather than do the math for just a joke, I pulled it off somebody's website. Nice to know that the math guys can whup up! Spaw |
Subject: RE: math based love songs From: Bert Date: 16 Feb 01 - 03:31 PM Counting from the middle of course. That's the most wrong one of all. |
Subject: RE: math based love songs From: mousethief Date: 16 Feb 01 - 03:33 PM Spaw: Either that or my obnoxiously know-it-all 17 year old can whup up. Bert: Um, yeah, sure. |
Subject: RE: math based love songs From: catspaw49 Date: 16 Feb 01 - 03:49 PM I think they both have.....or at least I only have it correct to the 8th from the end. I can't believe I even care......oy................OCD problem??? Spaw |

Subject: RE: math based love songs From: Crazy Eddie Date: 18 Feb 01 - 05:50 AM There is a Robert Service poem about a square who fell in love with a triangle. However the triangle preferred a cube. The ending is something like: "now she dotes on her kids, such cute pyramids, in a world of three dimensions" I THINK it is called Maternity. I have heard it sung, but the tune was not very memorable. |
Subject: RE: math based love songs From: GUEST,Nat Date: 18 Feb 01 - 07:21 AM What about "the elements" to the tune of "A Modern Major General" (from pirates of Penzance) - I think sung by a guy called Tom Lehrer. |
