I need any and every type of media dealing with numbers?

What about the scoreboard at a sports game, or the departure and arrival charts at the airport and online.

I’m partial to the Inchworm song, which I remember from Sesame Street.

Sesame street would be a treasure trove for this… contemporary artists (like Feist – song was used in an iPod commercial) have done versions of their songs for it.

Donald Duck in Mathmagic Land!

…Um.

The movie Pi

Flatland by Edwin Abbott Abbott.
“One (is the Loneliest Number)” by the Beatles Three Dog Night. thanks, fann. It’s been a long day…still no excuse. Also a good cover of the song by Aimee Mann. This might be interesting for an acting class because you can see a scene in a movie set to it – watch Magnolia.
I second Sesame Street songs, and Pi.

@wildpotato AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! ONE (is the lonliest number) was by Three Dog Night!
Don’t let AstroChuck see a mistake like that! He’ll go postal on ya!

@hearkat: Danny Kaye did it better. Plus, Thumbelina!

@asmonet: Thanks! I knew it was from something else.

1,2,3,4 by the Plain White Ts

New Math, sung and played by Tom Lehrer. The guy on YouTube is lipsynching. He is not Tom Lehrer, but the voice and the piano playing and the laugh track are from the original vinyl. This video does have a blackboard, which helps. It is original, clever, witty, and catchy.

1984, by George Orwell.
9 to 5, movie

Hmm. The only thing I can think of is a couple of webcomics and a site about numbers.

I’m a webcomic junkie who enjoys math jokes.

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? 1,2,3, CRUNCH!

867–5309
Also, a sunflower head, broccoli floret, seashell that comes to a point, your own body – you can talk about the Golden Ratio

I second the Tom Lehrer song!

“The Magic Number” a song by De La Soul

The inchworm song from the wonderful 1952 movie Hans Christan Andersen, starring Danny Kaye.

[Edit] Oops, @asmonet beat me to it. Good girl, asmo, for remembering the great old ones.

Don’t forget Schoolhouse Rock! The number songs are toward the bottom of that list – Three is a Magic Number is my favorite!

Here’s a fun song about Pi by Hard n’ Phirm:

Sdeutch reminds me of Bill Hailey’s Rock Around the Clock.
