Not really anything unreasonable, but the quickest / surest way to tap the collective genius of MN...
I am Head of Maths in a school with a tradition of teachers giving each other CDs of favourite music at Xmas. I am really keen to put together a "Maths Music" CD; and also to some of the students who would appreciate the concept. So far I have come up with about 25 mins towards a full 80 min CD:
Don MacLean: American Pi,
Katie Melua: 9.0 x 10 (to the power of) 6 Bicycles.
Nena: 10 Squared - 1 Squared Red Balloons (Does anyone have a copy of, or a link to, the original & much darker German version, 99 LuftBallon )
Lou Bega: Mambo No 5.
The Band: The Shape I'm In.
The Carter Family: The Circle Shall Be Unbroken.
There are quite a lot of songs with numbers in the title, but I am particularly looking for mathematical concepts or significant numbers.
If I can fill a CD, I will post the final playlist along with acknowledgements of the suggesters.
