Songs about Pi
While there are no songs that are specifically about the mathematical constant pi, there are some songs that have lyrics or titles that reference pi or have a mathematical theme. Here are a few examples:
-
"Pi" by Kate Bush - This song, which is featured on Kate Bush's album "Aerial", features the lyrics "3.14159, this is pi, followed by 2-6-5-3-5-8-9", which are the first few digits of the pi sequence.
-
"Mathematics" by Mos Def - This hip-hop song features lyrics that reference mathematical concepts and theories, including the Fibonacci sequence, pi, and Pythagorean theorem.
-
"The Number Song" by DJ Shadow - This instrumental track features a sample from a math professor discussing the value of pi.
-
"Counting Blue Cars" by Dishwalla - While this song doesn't specifically reference pi, the lyrics "tell me all your thoughts on God, 'cause I'm on my way to see her, so tell me am I very far?" reference the number 314, which is the beginning of the decimal representation of pi.
-
"The Calculus Affair" by The Hives - This song, which is inspired by the Tintin comic book of the same name, features lyrics that reference calculus, trigonometry, and other mathematical concepts.
These songs all have a mathematical theme or reference, and while they may not directly sound like pi, they are still a fun way to celebrate mathematics and its importance in our lives.
