Here is a nice video that "might" be helpful to students learning about . It is a rap music video created by a public television station in Boston. It has to be seen to be believed, and it is quite funny.

More Math Music: Klein Four Group

The Klein Four Group has a nice collection of songs with mathematical topics. I highly recommend Finite Simple Group (of Order Two). I just listened to Three Body Problem for the first time - quite enjoyable.

I have not yet viewed any of the videos. The lyrics are original and, often, humorous.

Math Rock

There seems to be a defined genre of rock music called "math rock". From what I can gather it's an unholy mix of complex almost jazz-like instrumentals with much more contemporary punk/grunge elements ... see Wikepedia definition or here for samples.

T4.

Bravo ... math rap ...

Not to forget Schoolhouse Rock. For anyone who watched kids tv in the '70s (in north america anyway), you may remember such classic songs as "My Hero, Zero", or "Little Twelvetoes", a song about aliens who work naturally in base 12. Here's a link with the lyrics. Looks like the sound clips are missing, unfortunately. Multiplication Rock.
