American Pi

This is the BEST song about pi EVER!!! It is based on the tune of American Pie by Don McLean, but the lyrics for the pi song were written by Lawrence Mark Lesser. It is basically about the history of pi and includes up to 12 of its digits. I found it while searching for a song for math class. We (ST$ and I) have decided to use this tune as well and create new lyrics for it about pi. I'm starting this weekend. You HAVE to hear this song. It gets stuck in your head and is soooo catchy. YouTube "american pi" (sorry, I'm too lazy to get a link) and click on the first one. The introduction is, according to Ben, the "loser" part, so don't just exit. Wait about 50 seconds until the cool part of the song starts. You can get the lyrics on the Internet by googling "american pi" and clicking on the first link (again, sorry that there is no link). The first verse for the chorus goes as follows:

Find, find the value of pi
Starts 3 point 1 4 1 5 9
Good 'ol boys all gave it a try
But the decimal never dies (x2)
It's soooooo good, you HAVE TO LISTEN TO IT! Contact Ben, Daniel, or the Wang for more information.

The Wang? What happened to Wangsta? Twang? Wang with the pi thing?
And David, by the way, I solved that rubik's cube three times after you left.

nothing happened to them. Wangsta was never used much, only sometimes by ST$, Twang is most common, but for some reason, i didn't feel likse using it. and wang with the pi thing takes too long to type out, so ya... i just used Wang. hehe....

a song for daniel and melanie zhang:

a long, long time ago
romeo and juliet fell in love
but nowadays it's not like that
it's melanie and daniel zhang, going out and marrying.

but even though they don't tell people
it's still common knowledge about their secret...

I hate this song. Tony do you have any idea how much that song tortures the rest of us at math team? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA? It's almost as bad as listening to Seong-tae AND Jimmy singing at the whole freaking time! I would know how that sounds don't ask but I can tell you that it is not pleasant! NOT PLEASANT!
