Day 13: A song 13-year-old you would have wanted to be played for the last “Couples' Skate” of the night

I think this came out when I was 14, and we had no roller rink in town. But I imagine this would fit the bill, otherwise.

A great challenge.... I actually have a fond skate memory as a 12-year-old.I don't remember the song, but it was late 70s, so this might work.

Maybe what was your favorite 13 yo Aussie song???

(I didn’t really know how to answer it either…)

Thick of it like this. You're in the lab, either bio or computer sciences lab, and you just had a (mini) Eureka! moment. What would you want to hear coming through the stereo?

This one takes ya back! I immediatly thought (and think) Last Dance (@Bry1313) was always the last song at Skate Odessy - our other place was Roller Magic - the year would have been '83 - last I knew Roler Magic was still open. If I recall this was a popular finisher at the end of the night too.

13 year old me was not at all doing a couples skate but this would’ve been my jam with my friends

I went to the skating rink a lot, but I was not ever one to ask anyone to skate. Far too shy. I would think about it, daydream of it, plan out what I would say, but never had the fortitude to move past that. But if I did, I would hope ELO was playing.

March 14, in the US, is written 3.14, so it is “Pi Day.” (Sorry, rest of the world, 14.3 just doesn’t work for that). I wanted to allow everyone to post 3.1415926535 songs, but I was informed I could make prompts, not have unlimited power. Sorry, the One Rule still stands. So, in honor of a mathematical constant…

I grew up watching these, and had all of the original songs on CD. I loaded up an MP3 player for my kid when she was in kindergarten, and that is why she can still recite the Preamble to the US Constitution from heart. And she knows that three is a magic number.

As usual I wait for a prompt that immediately brings a song to mind and as usual it's something 'edgy'
46&2 - Tool
The idea for the song, as best as I can uncover, is a mix of theories. That confronting the psychological shadow (a term possibly taken from the commonly incomplete North American indigenous story of the 2 wolves) will lead to an evolutionary shift. 44 to 46 autosomes or something like that.

To me the song says fix your shit and be nice to yourself in the process.

Math is illogical. Fight me

Not sure if this qualifies, just mentions four and seven…

I've been a fan of Bo's since he showed up on big-boys.com (it was an alternative to Youtube, okay! they later changed to break.com! Don't look at me like that!! )

In the early days he did some seriously cheeky gangsta raps

Day 14: A song involving math in any form you want.

this is a rough one for me and my strict brain...i know there have been some grumbles, but i think the effort and originality in creating themes has been great, but certainly more challenging...so with that said...todays song was chosen because it has been analyzed for its mathematical structure, with some suggesting it follows the golden ratio, a mathematical concept where a ratio of two numbers is approximately 1.618. Some analyses suggest that the song's structure, including the placement of verses, choruses, and bridges, aligns with the golden ratio, creating a sense of natural flow and musical balance. so, what is the mathematically perfect song?
