"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! 🤓

In a similar vein:

Rock Around The Clock -- Bill Haley and His Comets 

 

"One, Two, Three O'clock, Four O'clock rock,
Five, Six, Seven O'clock, Eight O'clock rock.
Nine, Ten, Eleven O'clock, Twelve O'clock rock,
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight."

"Simple math
Our love divided by the square root of pride
Multiply your lifeless time
I'm going out of my mind
It was heaven when I finally figured it out alone

Didn't get it the first time
But don't think I've been so blind
And I may not be Einstein
But I Know
Dumb plus dumb equals you"”

 

from Einstein by Kelly Clarkson

A bit off topic, but loosely related. This thread reminded me of the the song "You Were on My Mind" by "We Five". Which reminded me of an episode on St Elsewhere where Dr Westphal was on the elevator and I believe it was Nurse Rosenthal who walks onto the elevator after him. He looks at her and says "When I woke up this morning, you were on my mind." She was mad at him at the time and looked at him and said "We Five", then turned around and walked off the elevator. Does anyone else remember that episode?
