Math Genius Turns Dark Lyrics Into The Ultimate Brain Twister
Back in the Fifties and Sixties, a mathematician moonlighting as a musician delivered lyrics so darkly comic they left fans like 'Weird Al' Yankovic and Steely Dan chuckling in corners. 'Darkly comic lyrics inspired fans like Weird Al, Steely Dan, Randy Newman, and even Daniel Radcliffe,' proving once and for all that if you can find irony in math, you can turn it into a hit song. This quirky fusion of numbers and notes may have been the era's best-kept secret or just proof that mathematicians have the best bad jokes.

This mathematician's songs were so dark and hilarious, even 'Weird Al' felt underdressed ā proving math nerds donāt just solve equations, they roast humanity with formulas too complex for therapy.
Variant 1: Dark humor and math? Finally, a subject where the mathematicianās jokes make people feel equally confused and dead inside.
Variant 2: Listening to this mathematician's lyrics is like using calculus to order pizzaāneedlessly complicated but oddly satisfying and a tiny bit tragic.
