Who sings the song that goes: "I wish I was your derivative, so I could lay tangent to your curves"?

Question

Here is the link to the song:

I am aware that this is a pick-up line, but it is ALSO a song! Look at the link above.

Answer 1

Sounds like a song Tom Lehrer might have written. If you haven't heard of him look him up. He's the king of comedic songs. Sounds like this song should be an integral part of my repertoire although there is a limit to how many songs I can learn and I have to differentiate between the real ones and the irrational. By the way, are your curves defined and differentiable?

Answer 2

i think its not a song but a math pickup lines ^_^

here are some

Answer 3

I think that might be from that cartoon school of rock or something like that...or maybe some math teacher made it up...i highly doubt a real singer actually came up w/ that song.

Answer 4

I have never heard that phrase in a song---but as a pick-up line.

Answer 5
