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:

Are tears running? Are tears running down your breast? And do your friends, baby, do they treat you like a guest? Your eyes, I say, your eyes may look like his but in your head, baby, I'm afraid you don't know where it is. Grace, you better find somebody to love.

I'm listening to the foxes in the garden, who are playing noisily.

Someone already has, here:
http://www.geocities.com/rainforest/4707/FoxSounds.html

The first time I heard the unearthly screaming noise I thought it was an animal in pain, or maybe even a person. And these are short clips. The foxes can squeal for quite a long time when they're playing, fighting or otherwise communicating.

I've gone haring out of the house before now because I thought there was a person screaming nearby, only to discover it was a fox. Noisy little sods.

zelda_pinwheel · 01-19-2009, 11:31 AM

wow, when you say "noisy" you really mean it.

i had no idea they could make so much noise. or such strange ones.

Malcom Frager Plays Chopin, available HERE from Amazon (and also in other fine CD stores).

Probably the single finest combination of performance and recording of piano music by Chopin. A truly amazing album!
