FAWM: "I Can't Remember Trigonometry"

I Can't Remember Trigonometry

Liner Notes

#ukulele #fuc #silly #fun i mentioned in my first song's liner notes that i got interrupted while finishing working on it. i was interrupted by my son asking for help with some trigonometry. it didn't go well ! and i used that to inspire song #2. i really like the chorus. would love any suggestions on the verse.

Lyrics

Ukulele: (Am) Hey mom... (G) what's a (F) cosecant? (C) Dear son... (G) let's just look it (C) up (C) Oh right - (G) another (C) ratio (G) But WHY!??!... (F) This I (G) Just don't (C) know CHORUS: cuz (G) I can't remember (C) trigonometry even (G) though I use math quite a (Am) lot it (G) turns out there's more to it than (C) I recall and (F) I can't (G) help as much as I (C) thought.

Oh this is cute and fun! Things we don't use do tend to get a little fuzzy. As old as I am I've forgotten almost everything I learned in school. Heck, up until this song, I forgot I even took trigonometry. :P

Being a math guy and engineer (who remembers some and uses a little trig anyway) pulled me in to the title. I like the melody and humorous approach. Certainly lots of directions the song could take. I hope that you keep working on it!
