Baby Got Stats (as mentioned in the Freakonomics blog)

Serious stats rhymes - not for the weak or Bayesian at heart. Inspired February 2007 by the "biostatistics poetry" challenge at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health.

You can find the lyrics at:

Thank you Steven Levitt for the shout-out on the Freakonomics blog!! One day I'll figure out where you found the song.

And thank you to: Megan Salter and Lauren Kucirka (aka the "Epi Sistas") for intro vocals, Bill Latimer for videography, and StataCorp for the STATA t-shirt!

I know NOTHING of stats (or~as little as poss & still grad.) & am in a field that relies on stats, but prefers that they magically appear (medicine) BUT! This is great. The presentation is awesome-the lyrics inspired! Kudos to the fine 'rapper', & the writer. I will now need to check out this new field of music~Stat Rap?
