Tom Lehrer - New Math (Animated)

[Arrancar68]

I can honestly understand this crap :b

[Macemack]

If you are listening to this while doing math homework, and suddenly you find yourself writing along with the song... congrats, your at my level of math homework muck-ups.

[TinyMimiKitten]

i keep singing this in math

[hgaflerby]

A friend of mine, over thirty four and went to public school stated "This isn't new, it's how I do it," when I showed this too her. Another friend, under thirty four and going to public school now states she has never done subtraction this way. Which begs the question, in an age of calculators, what will the next New Math look like? Excellent video.

[SpeakingSpellSword]

12-3 isnt 7 xD

[funkymaniak]

@SpeakingSpellSword It is in base 8 ;)

[alexamato002]

now lets not see the same hands...

[alexamato002]

i like ...leaving 5!

well,

actually 6...

the idea is the important thing...

[tw3nty222]

How did 64 get into it.... I hear you cry, favorite part, no I am not mean

[zimzameef]

They showed this at my school

[subbotniki]

Superb animation! I love Tom Lehrer and his songs. Keep it up dude...

[Gyroglle]

The first person who dislikes WILL have his scrotum CUT OFF.

[hgaflerby]

@Gyroglle or at least two fingers.

[TinyMimiKitten]

lol i really like this song



[ModernMWEntrtainment]

Two things, I hope you got an A on your project. . .and I think Obama is taking this song to heart. LOL

[wejamon84]

SUBTRACTION, your doing it right!

[computerdl]

@wejamon84 Spelling, *you're* doing it wrong.

[funkymaniak]

@HALNINEBILLION ^_^Thanks

[MADARTICHOKE]

Great work.

[DemonDancingDove]

If only he tutored me, I wouldn't have flunked trig!

[TITANIUMHAWK100]

i love this song!!!

[slowzen]

Stunningly fantastic job.

And no, I didn't even notice the your vs you're thing until I read the comments. I guess it's cause I mix the two up a lot too.

[Crezth]

primitive*

[monny287]

How cool! :) I, too, was bugged by the "your", but the rest of the awesome animation more than made up for it.

[Cornholio762]

This guy is awesome

[merrillb3]

Excellent animation, Jared! I didn't even notice the two misspellings--and I'm a former English professor. I was simply enjoying your clever animation too much, I suppose--and still enjoy it too much to care. Thank you.

[LilyTheAnnoyance]

I know that you know that the mistake is there, but I feel the urge to point it out to you anyway.

1:05 *you're

I'm sorry, dude...but this is nerd territory. :P

[funkymaniak]

@LilyTheAnnoyance I know, truly shameful isn't it.

[goonerjack]

sorry if it's a silly question, but why do you have to run it through after effects? brilliant video, fantastically animated!

[funkymaniak]

@goonerjack Well I had to convert it from .swf and Adobe Media Encoder couldn't cut it so I figured I may as well just put it through After Effects. I'm sure there is an easier way of doing it but I just couldn't be bothered to spend any time googling it ;)

[keenfrizzle]

This is the only video I've found of this song that is perfectly coherent without knowing the context of the video, despite the negligible spelling errors (the only one that got me was "we'll have to make 'do'"). I commend you for your video, for it succeeds where even a million view video has failed, in that it provides the full narration by Tom AND accurate graphical demonstration. I added this video to my favorites. Kudos!

[Brinkke]

@keenfrizzle Hmm... I was always under the impression that the phrase was actually "make do" which is technically a grammatically nonsensical English idiom (...despite not having sufficient supplies, you will force [make] the job done [do]), yet techincally correct. If you are believing that the phrase is "make due" I do not see how there is any debt to be paid in this case. I'm also curious what the correct phrasing is, so if you know, I'd greatly appreciate a response... Cheers!

[wejamon84]

still no song about fractions :'-(

[ncfruhead]

Great video for a great tune! Thanks!

[MvuaNdege]

Ah, bases! They really are easy, it just requires changing the way you think.

[funkymaniak]

@Isachs07 I would love to but I'm working on something else at the moment. Also, videos like this always get struck for copyright infringement so I'd better not do another. Thanks for watching though and I'm very glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks :)

[lsachs07]

Love the video. I am a product of new math with and without base 8. Ya think you can try to make one for Poisoning the Pigeon in the Park.

[xilent234]

I LOVE TOM LEHRER!!!

[ssbaum]

That's really good!

[KeatonMovieFever]

Lovely animation -- complements this wonderful song perfectly. Well done.

[WolfSpartan1]

I know how to do problems in base 8...well...that problem.

[Riboshom]

You, sir, are an animation genius!

This animation is the way that song was meant to be seen.

[eric25junior]

Excellent video! I was actually looking for the 'live' version of it but found this although not as bad as I expected it to be. Loved it!

[marshaul]

Good animation, but you fail for using flash, which is an abomination, even if you converted it out of that heinousness.

[keenfrizzle]

The best animation to the song I've seen on Youtube.

You could've pasted a bunch of crappy pictures like the rest, but instead you put work into it to allow us to think through the comedy ourselves.

3,840 people (plus) appreciate your effort.

[SpydrePendragon]

Nice video for this one.

[Fabulist]

The animation is so good but the spelling is terrible that I can't bring myself to "Like" it. Sorry.

[funkymaniak]

@Fabulist Haha, Sorry about that. I assume you're referring to the "your" instead of "you're"? I know some people really hate to see this kind of mistake. If there is some other mistake that I'm missing please let me know. Thanks for watching :)

[PaKeVe]

@funkymaniak You also spelled "primitive" as "primative," but the animation was still awesome :)

[RJFerreiro]

@funkymaniak It should be "primitive" rather than "primative." And you've already caught the "your/you're" thing, so you're good. Awesome video, otherwise! I'm so happy you made it.

[yangosplat]

@funkymaniak "Primitive".

[davidskats]

I wish I had such a Lehrer in my school.

[BrandNewDenise]

Awesome animation

You're awesome jared

(and I'm a math freak XD)

[DCH447]

jared you tank ;)

[joshizmyname]

Sick...

[ILOVEMANONLOADS]

JARED! this is amazing! ;D xx

[Dragontamer151]

ya know that was a very good animation. you should have more views here since you're the one with the full song

[funkymaniak]

@Dragontamer151 Thanks man. I did think that actually, I thought that if I did the whole thing I may get more views. Hopefully it will pick up soon :)

[Dragontamer151]

@Dragontamer151 I'll throw it on facebook or somewhere that way ya get more views if it helps
