The Lyrics
Some's an indefinate number,
It just means a few.
Few can be as bad as some,
When you're needin' a count of each and every one.
No, is the smallest amount that you could ever show.
Yes it's the total abstinence of things, you know.
Cause some's an indefinate number as I've told you so.
Some's an indefinate number that means just a few.
And it's no good to use 'more',
When you must convey,
That it's costing dimes for bits of time that you must pay.
Some's an indefinate number,
Some's an indefinate number,
Some's an indefinate number,
That you can't display,
That you can't display.
Some's an indefinate number,
Some's an indefinate number,
Some's an indefinate number,
That you can't display.
And it's no good to use 'more',
When you must convey,
That it's costing dimes for bits of time that you must pay.
Some's an indefinate number,
Some's an indefinate number,
Some's an indefinate number,
That you can't display.
It just means a few.
Few can be as bad as some,
When you're needin' a count of each and every one.
No, is the smallest amount that you could ever show.
Yes it's the total abstinence of things, you know.
Cause some's an indefinate number as I've told you so.
Some's an indefinate number that means just a few.
And it's no good to use 'more',
When you must convey,
That it's costing dimes for bits of time that you must pay.
Some's an indefinate number,
Some's an indefinate number,
Some's an indefinate number,
That you can't display,
That you can't display.
Some's an indefinate number,
Some's an indefinate number,
Some's an indefinate number,
That you can't display.
And it's no good to use 'more',
When you must convey,
That it's costing dimes for bits of time that you must pay.
Some's an indefinate number,
Some's an indefinate number,
Some's an indefinate number,
That you can't display.

It made me smile! :) 5's
Good one, Guy. More math & science parodies! 5's
Guy,I like the way that you used "needin' a count" in the 4th line,for the pacing-very good job on this.I like the idea. :-D TC
What's the fascination on this site with math parodies? Me and math do not get along at all, so I cringe whenever I see a math related parody. I usually like your stuff guy, but this one kinda gives me a headache. Sorry man. But since I usually like your stuff, I won't vote on this, and I'll let the math fans take care of that.
Johnny, i took you suggestion for more math and science parodies and finished something i had forgotten that i even started... "atomic" about the elements to "ironic by alanis morissette or however you spell her name
Guy, I enjoyed your parody so much, I'm voting you a smattering of 5s.
Five is a definite number, and I'll vote it too ... :-D
nice job....who woulda thought you could make a good parody about the word "some"...i'm impressed
I love clever stuff like this - I will give you 'several' fives... ;-)
Great job, Guy!
How is this a math parody in any way? Now if it were about indefinite *integrals* on the other hand... too bad that has too many syllables. Anyway, I'm likewise impressed at your ability to make something so boring so amusing - still not quite as classic as my friend's improv skit about the use of semicolons, but still gets fives.
Very original and well done, Guy!
I must say that this parody is absolutely brilliant. Keep it up!!!
It's enough to bring back 'Schoolhouse Rock' and segments in elementary philosophy. Love it. More fives.
Guy - Well, the figures look right to me. A nice, concise job of explaining it. I ran a check-tape and the figures reconcile so "Favoring" you with 5's. Man, I am so far behind on looking at other folks stuff. I NEED my new PC, WHEN it is going to get here???
Sir, you have reached the tech support desk. I can connect you with sales if you like.
who'd a thought that you could make a great song out of english and math concepts put together? the end is near!
Great job on the parody! I read your parody, now how bout you read mine? "Come On Over" to the Shania Twain section and "Check It Out"
