The conversation at dinner tonight turned to the topic of rewriting song lyrics. Of course, this reminded me of the cult classic, "Closer to Sine ... ", a rewrite of the Indigo Girls song that I created while stressing out over a Math 192 final, many moons ago.
There was more, but I'm sure we can all agree this was enough.
"Closer to Fine" by the Indigo Girls I'm trying to tell you something about my life Maybe give me insight between black and white And the best thing you've ever done for me Is to help me take my life less seriously It's only life after all Yeah Well darkness has a hunger that's insatiable And lightness has a call that's hard to hear I wrap my fear around me like a blanket I sailed my ship of safety till I sank it I'm crawling on your shores I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains There's more than one answer to these questions Pointing me in a crooked line And the less I seek my source for some definitive (the less I seek my source) The closer I am to fine The closer I am to fine |
"Closer to Sine" by angledge I'm trying to tell you something about this line Maybe give me insight between x and y But the best thing this problem's done for me Is to help me take this class less seriously It's only math after all Yeah But the college has a workload that's insatiable And the prereqs have no end that I can see I wrap my ignorance up in a blanket I sailed this ship of fools, but now I've sank it I'm crawling for the door I went to the lecture, I went to the section I looked to the textbook, but gave up on this question There's more than one value for this function Graphing me in a crooked line The less I seek a root for this derivative (the less I seek a root) The closer I am to sine The closer I am to sine |
There was more, but I'm sure we can all agree this was enough.
