"Math Rock" (And/Or Songs Containing Numbers or Math Terms)

This topic is wide open. Could be actual Math Rock, with complex rhythms or weird time signatures, such as the band American Football with their song Never Meant: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_NfnXdXpjL0

 

OR you could also include songs containing numbers and/or Math terms in either the title or the lyrics, such as Love Minus Zero / No Limit by Bob Dylan.

 

Whatever! Oh, and no worries if you post something that someone else has already posted here. That would just be Math Rock Squared! 🤓

One - Three Dog Night

@MaVoltawrote:

One - Three Dog Night


"The Three Dog Night Story, 1964–1975 states that vocalist Danny Hutton's girlfriend, actress June Fairchild suggested the name after reading a magazine article about indigenous Australians, in which it was explained that on cold nights they would customarily sleep in a hole in the ground while embracing a dingo, a native species of feral dog. On colder nights they would sleep with two dogs and, if the night were freezing, it was a 'three dog night.'"

 

No offense to indigenous Australians or dingos, but when I first learned of that I laughed loud and long. Still cracks me up to this day.

Yes, I remember hearing that, too. It's a great story!

I saw them on Playboy After Dark back in '69 and they told that story. Since then, every time it's cold, which is often in Wisconsin, I say it's a "three dog night" and tell the story. Everybody I know is sick of me telling it for the last 50 years. I tell it anyway, just to drive them nuts... It's one of the few pleasures I have left at my age...driving them nuts, I mean.

MaV - you’re right about how The Beatles changed time signatures in their music. I had a math teacher in 9th grade and he always said “do the problem, work it out”

 

The best example of changing time I know of in The Beatles catalog is in We Can Work It Out.  It’s 4/4 until the middle 8.  You know the part where they sing “fussing and fighting my friend”. Stop there and listen; it goes 123, 123, 123.  Then back to 4/4.  Then back to 123, 123, 123 for “So I will ask you once again”.  Then back to common time.

 

Whenever I think about math I think about Mr. Kelly.
