Hi Mario,

It's very nice to hear you sing in this song. Real fun!
Not only the joke/ridle itself (I knew that ridle), but how you connected it all with that in between voice.
Maybe you can use a little variation in the verses or going up at the end of some lines?

The band played very well.
Waiting for your next song with the vocals!

Hans

Great one Mario! I am certainly one of those 4 our of 3 people who have trouble with math. I love unique and clever writing like this. I was surprised you had trouble finding a style for this one, I would think it would go with pretty much any genre, but it's hard to argue with this one. Came out very well.

HAHAHAHA. This is awesome, Mario. We've never met and you are one of my all-time favorite humans. I do my math in my head, and it was spinning by the time we reached the end. In my mind I saw a buck ran away with the dough. Or was it the doe ran away with the buck? Great song!!!


Enjoy whatever happens!

Funny and funky smile Good to hear you sing, suits with the scary message! The famous minus money problem (27-2 bucks), I have heard this story in several versions.

Now that was creative to the max!

Clever and well done ... obviously a buck or two went through a time gate and reside now in another galaxy. No problem.

Fun,

Mario, you're quite the imaginative musician! Haven't heard too many "math" tunes I must say (I'm surprised I haven't done something like this-my wife was a college math teacher for many years). It's a fun and creative tune! Thanks, Torrey

Thanx Hans for those suggestions. I do need all the help I can use when I attempt to sing. I'm glad you liked it.

Thanx Brad. I don't have a problem with math, I have a problem with new math, or at least how math is taught today. Thanx for listening.

Thanx Janne.

Yes that is an old riddle. I just never heard it in a song so I though why not.

I'm glad you both liked it, even with my vocal!

Mario,

Very very fun!
It's a math quiz for elementary school students, but it's a really fun losing the answer on the way.
It is a nice idea for this song no effects on any of the instrument tracks.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Hey Mario ...

A great song and a math lesson all in one. Simply amazing what we hear on this forum. Totally enjoyed my listen. I didn't attempt to figure it out as my head is still a little fuzzy from all the pain meds I was on until a few days ago. Regardless, it was a really cool listen!

Since you're so good at math, what's the square root of a radish??!!

Absolutely brilliant!!! LOVE IT!!!!!!!

As for the solution, hang on:

If the bill was 25, but you guys paid 9 dollars each (27 bucks in total), where are the two extra dollars you paid? And also, she took 2 dollars on top (equalling 29 in total) ... you were well and truly swindled!!! haha ...

Argh!!!!!! She should have given you $1.66 each (5/3), and THEN, if you wanted to tip her, you could have given her the two dollars for her. Thus, $25 + $1.66 x 3 = $30 ... have I solved it? haha.

Regardless, what a song!!!!!!!! From every perspective, loved it - one of the most fun songs I've ever seen on here. Bravo.
