I'm listening to Calculus by Matthew Matics (or Matte Matik in Swedish; a.k.a. Matthias Lundgren):

http://mattematik.is-a-geek.com/audi...20Calculus.mp3

I love it and wish every high school calculus student knew about it. The lyrics are bit tough to figure out but here's my best shot:
I'm a mathematics student, I calculate each day.
I can integrate, differentiate, ......

Calculating when sleeping .....I walk about.
And what I'm saying now it seems to figure out.

The life I try to live is the glamorous .....
.....calculate ........without a sweat

So I'm toiling and boiling though it's nearly 2 a.m.
'Cause a math student don't want to fail on that exam.

Cal-cu-lus!
Sitting here I'm studying
Cal-cu-lus!
Cal-cal-cu-u-u-lus
Cal-cu-lus!
Sitting here study one's
Cal-cu-lus!
I'm studying mathematics!

There is ...... and psi-..... delta epsilon
And the limits for my ....... series seems approached.

But I think it'll be okay 'cause ..... knows his game
And he can explain .... functions...............parabola

When nothing else is helping I sing myself a song
And I hope the hyperbolics in my brain will sing along.

So I'm sitting here. I'm singing. I'm falling myself hoarse
But I think I really should get back again and sit and study

Cal-cu-lus!
I ought to go and study my
Cal-cu-lus!
Cal-cal-cu-u-u-lus
Cal-cu-lus!
dy - by - dx becomes
Cal-cu-lus!
I'm studying mathematics!
It gives me fun and joy and kicks.
.................., too.
It's something everyone can do
.............
And so the value of the x,
And so the value of the x,
And so the value of the x,
And so the value of the x,.....
He's written some other songs ("Oh, If I Had Been A Scalar Product", "Differential Notation", "Cauchy-Schwartz") but most aren't in English:
