Isn't that THE Regina who sang "Baby Love"?

[tiradorfranco2]

The very one.

She does a REEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAL mean shimmy in this video, heh heh heh. Learning for the young kids, eye candy for the olders--quality TV right here!

Though I LOVED this show as a kid (I'm 24 now), I love the music videos even more now that I know who they are parodying. (Cindi Lauper--probably--here, Beach Boys, Bruce Springsteen, and Billy Idol in the best one: Angle Dance

winnie cooper is a mathematician too!

A. Suppose you have to form a Final Fantasy party of 4 members and there are six possible classes to choose: Fighter, Black Belt, Thief, Red Mage, Black Mage, White Mage. You can use more than one of any class and order doesn't matter (e.g. Fighter/Fighter/Black Mage/White Mage is considered identical to Black Mage/Fighter/White Mage/Fighter). How many possible parties of 4 using 6 classes are there?

B. Does a function of six variables have the same number of unique fourth derivatives?

You could have a sextet of 6 drummers. That would be a great group.

Looks as though Regina and her bandmates have way too much on their hands, LOL, super-cool song (to boot!) =)

Just why isn't there a CD of SOTV music videos? Since this is from the creators of Sesame Street and the Electric Company (both of which have already done plenty of merchandise tie-ins, CD's and vinyl LP's among them), a CD showing the music of SOTV would really go flying off the retail shelves. Music like this really is timeless (and the vid here is also a bona fide classic). :-)

[jmelkis]

I guess I get confused because is it just one of each group?

@satchow CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS REPLY: While the ABF combo COULD work, depending on the skill of the keyboard players, JKA would not work as a band at all because the two drums alone would drown out the solo keyboard player. FGJ is questionable because I have never seen a effective trio with only two basses and a drum, though it IS possible, its highly unlikely. So like I said, using combinatorics to make music bands, is not an effective way to demonstrate its proper use.
