Seemingly mathematical lyrics that actually aren't.

I thought Tommy Tutone's smash hit single was about my two favorite coprime integers, 867 and 5309, but it appears to be about someone's digitzz

We got to flee to Panama, but wait it's half and half
Keys is one and two-fifth, so how we flip
Thirty-two grams raw, chop it in half, get sixteen, double it times three
We got forty-eight, which mean a whole lot of cream
Divide the profit by four, subtract it by eight
We back to sixteen, now add the other two that 'Mega bringin through
So let's see, if we flip this other key
Then that's more for me, mad coke and mad leak
Plus a five hundred, cut in half is two-fifty
Now triple that times three, we got three quarters of another key

Chapter 24

Waiting for the break of day
Searching for something to say
Flashing lights against the sky
Giving up I close my eyes
Sitting cross-legged on the floor
25 or 6 to 4

Bowie's Width Of A Circle is about anything but. :-(

i think you 5-0
it's 1-8-7 on an undercover cop
i got the gauge, a uzi and the motherfuckin 22

4 7 2 3 9 8 5, I gotta breathe to stay alive
and 1 4 2 9 7 8, feels like I'm gonna suffocate
14, 26, 22, this skin that turns to blister and blue film
shoulders toes and knees, I'm 36 degrees

14, 26 16, 22

JEEZ

grebt thread btw <3 u crutis

[Blak Twang] (Mystro)
I smash and grab, split the bag, 50/50 Mys' you wit' me?
(Yeah I'm half way there blood, ready to heist the city)
So if the ice is pretty sharp that's sumthin' to gimme sta'
(Well if I'm in the car you better jus' gimme half)
What, half the diamonds the same way that we half the rhymin'?
(Two halves is better than one when it's done in half the timin')
F'real blood you aren't lyin'
but wait, that's half true (What?!)
'Cuz I'm comin' wit' Big Ted and I offered him half too
(What?! Half it three ways, that sumthin' you can't do)
Well who asked you?!
(As long as I'm gettin' my half cool)

"2 and 2 always makes a 5"

"If 2 and 2 and 50 make a million" ("your calculator's gone wrong", as we always used to sing at school)

1 2 3 Red Light You Stop Me - not about integers and set theory after all. Damn.

No, it's all about scorecards and achieveable targets, and threshhold levels.

Still though,

If it were 1, 1, 2, 3, Red Light it could be about Fibonacci numbers?

"25 or 6 to 4"

There was this Weezer song that I thought went '9 is the loneliest number' -- I only heard it a few times and always thought that was really mysterious. But on further consideration, I realized it probably doesn't say that.

'none' isn't it?

American Pi

T-Rex, "Life's a Gauss"

not exactly math, but pleasing to me in my drunken state:

IF THERE'S BEEN A WAY TO BUILD IT
THERE'LL BE A WAY TO DESTROY IT
THINGS ARE NOT ALL THAT OUT OF CONTROL

Mark G -- I was guessing it must be 'mine'?

I know a song that's about 'freaky mathematics' but it's so lame, I can't bring myself to mention it. Here is a clue: it's on the Easy Rider soundtrack.

Now if 6 turned out to be 9
I don't mind, I don't mind

I'm your worst nightmare squared
That's double for niggaz who ain't mathematically aware

3 is a magic number

Bobby Bare, Numbers:

No matter how good they look at first
There's flaws in all of them
That's why on a scale of 10 to 1, friends
There ain't no 10

The Who, "Bargain"

"One and one don't make two / One and one make one"

um, how do you figure, Pete?

5 to 1, baby, 1 in 5
No one here gets out alive

The Doors, getting their odds mixed up

I’ve been here once
I’ve been here twice
I don’t know if the third’s the fourth or if the -
The fifth’s to fix
Sometimes I deal with numbers
And if you wanna count me
Count me out

I'm your worst nightmare squared
That's double for niggaz who ain't mathematically aware

It MIGHT be: Songs where the songwriter confuses A with B
