Request Line: Trigonometry

INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY

Once again, all the lights are off in the studio, and it’s completely silent.  The studio lights come on…

…and in the hallway that leads to the studio a series of frantic footsteps can be heard. 

— [DOOR FLIES OPEN] —

HUNTER RENFROW: [tossing his bike helmet and backpack onto the couch and making his way directly over to the soundboard] I’m here, I’m here!  With ninety seconds to spare!

DJ 3000′: [calmly] ACTUALLY, WE’VE GOT A FULL FIVE MINUTES AND NINETY SECONDS.  I SET ALL THE CLOCKS ON YOUR DEVICES AHEAD BY FIVE MINUTES SO YOU’D GET HERE ON TIME.

HUNTER RENFROW: Which I did!  But, uh, thanks, I guess.

DJ 3000′: WHY WERE YOU CUTTING IT SO CLOSE THIS WEEK?

HUNTER RENFROW: I was just trying to get my trigonometry homework finished before I came over.

A graph prints out and a red light attached to DJ 3000”s console begins flashing.

DJ 3000′: INTERESTING, CAUSE THAT’S NOT WHAT MY TRUTH MODULE SAYS YOU WERE DOING.

HUNTER RENFROW: Okay, okay, I was about to do my trigonometry homework, just as soon as I finished reading about this new theory on the Horus Heresy.

DJ 3000′: [sounding puzzled] WAIT, THERE ARE ALTERNATIVE THEORIES ON THE HORUS HERESY? I THOUGHT THAT WAS, LIKE, CANON.

HUNTER RENFROW: Oh, they tinker with stuff all the time. You see, the idea is that when the Primarch Fulgrim was fighting with Ferrus Manus…

DJ 3000′: HANG ON, HANG ON, YOU CAN TELL ME ABOUT IT ONCE WE GET REQUEST LINE ROLLING.  HAVE YOU GOT A TOPIC FOR US?

HUNTER RENFROW: [pulls a sheaf of papers out of his backpack] I sure do!

DJ 3000′: HOMEWORK?

HUNTER RENFROW: No, trigonometry! I thought we could do songs about triangles, vertexes, lines, planes, et cetera.

DJ 3000′: [runs a quick scan] OKAY, I THINK THAT SHOULD BE GOOD.  ONE THING – NO SONGS ABOUT CIRCLES – I WANT TO SAVE THAT TOPIC FOR MARCH 14.

HUNTER RENFROW: Deal.

DJ 3000′: I GOT A GOOD ONE TO GET US STARTED WITH, CHECK THIS OUT.

 

Today’s theme is “Trigonometry”.  We’re looking for songs that have anything to do with trigonometry – squares, triangles, pentagrams, octagons, angles, points, lines, rays, planes, vertexes, etc.  Let’s avoid songs about circles and things that are round; we’ll be doing that a separate topic later on in the season.  Please post links as “https://www.youtube.com/watch?0rToN_P4rK and they should embed in the comments after you refresh.  Last week’s puzzle answer of “Good Times Bad Times” by Led Zeppelin was solved instantly by SonOfSpam.  Let’s get to it!

It’s a Canadian band, you wouldn’t understand.

I think sector is a thing. Trig was like 38 years ago.

Starcrawler is good, but the giant skinny singer is terrifying

“Wave trigonometry” refers to the use of trigonometric functions, particularly the sine function, to mathematically represent and analyze wave-like patterns

I’m going to get back to work but how come there were no Tuberville jokes about trigons?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Don’t tell Matt Gaetz but I found something from a high school YouTube page:

Holy god, this song is awful. I was looking for something else.

Geometry hell, that’s how he sees the road.

BeefReeferLives

Thanks Coach!!

/ Ow!

Horatio Cornblower

Oh that’s a relief; I thought he was into banging underage hookers.

BugEyedBoo

Do banging underaged male hookers get you in more trouble? Because I’m pretty sure Mr. Dando bats from the other side of the plate.

Horatio Cornblower

Usually it gets you elevated to at least Cardinal.

BugEyedBoo

Consider me enlightened!

-bats from the other side of the plate.
I’m intrigued. Aaron Boone

I think that’s a winner, nicely done.

BeefReeferLives

Woo!

BugEyedBoo

Mr. Math person isn’t sure how you get a tangent without a curve getting involved, but you do you.

Puzzle? (looks like pretty much every track on the album would qualify)

BeefReeferLives

Ah, the clue changed… was thinking secant / second

Horatio Cornblower

I’m not a big Madonna fan, but this song fucks.

I was expecting to get Duded
