Can you help us? My son's science teacher gave them an extra credit question that has us stumped. It has nothing really to do with science. He needs to find the name of a song. The album it was on and the year it was produced. The only infromation he gave them was in the lyrics was triangle man, can do what a triangle man can do. or something close to it.

Well, There's only one that sounds similar...
It's Particle Man by They Might be Giants on the album Flood in 1990 heres the lyrics,
"Particle Man
Particle man, particle man
Doing the things a particle can
What's he like? It's not important
Particle man
Is he a dot, or is he a speck?
When he's underwater does he get wet?
Or does the water get him instead?
Nobody knows, Particle man
Triangle man, Triangle man
Triangle man hates particle man
They have a fight, Triangle wins
Triangle man
Universe man, Universe man
Size of the entire universe man
Usually kind to smaller man
Universe man
He's got a watch with a minute hand,
Millenium hand and an eon hand
When they meet it's a happy land
Powerful man, universe man
Person man, person man
Hit on the head with a frying pan
Lives his life in a garbage can
Person man
Is he depressed or is he a mess?
Does he feel totally worthless?
Who came up with person man?
Degraded man, person man
Triangle man, triangle man
Triangle man hates person man
They have a fight, triangle wins
Triangle man"
If you have iTunes you could try listening to some to see if it sounds right. Thats all I could find. Hope that helps!

sounds more like particle man, and that would be a bit more related to science too...
