In an attempt to help Microsoft corner the market in everything, you have to have the Windows Media Player to listen to the songs below, because they are in WMA format. If you have a Windows machine, you probably already have the player, and the same goes if you have a newer Macintosh. However, if you are unable to play the music, you need to go download the player, which is available for Windows and Mac machines. Why have I embraced Bill Gates like this? For one, the songs are much, much smaller in this format (less disk space equals less cost) and secondly, I admire his haircut.

The Quadratic Formula Song
Michael Kelley

It's the catchy song that helps you remember the quadratic formula with that rip-roaring feel good chorus: "Over 2A! Over 2A! Over 2A!". And what's a good math song without a grisly murder? This little tune answers that question but leaves you asking others, like "Why doesn't Mike have a recording contract somewhere? Didn't I see him on that show American Idol? Why do my ears bleed when I listen to this haunting and awful song?"

Day Before Notebooks Are Due Blues
Nathan Naze

This song was written during the 1999-2000 school year by Nathan Naze, a student who just happened upon the Kelley Web Page while avoiding  school work. Although his band, Skanky Omar and the Girl Scout Explosion, never played this song, it was a personal project of his. And now, the band has been ripped asunder since the band members had to go to college.

AP Calculus Theme Song
Nick Becker

Nick has employed his unique scholarly ribald world view to concoct a fitting theme to our calculus class, so download and enjoy.

This class is so inspiring that I had to write a song
with a catchy beat, and rhyming words, so that you can sing along
It's packed with lots of crazy stuff, peanuts, nougat, and comedy
So forget about your worthless lives and get ready to learn calculus....AB!
