The Stats with Kittens Song
[Verse 1]
I enrolled in math last spring like “la-di-da,”
Now I’m googlin’, “what are statistics, haha?”
My mind started bogglin’, thought I was screwed now
Til I opened up this book, took a look and MEOW!
Yeah on each page there is some tiny floof
Getting me through these formula proofs
Whiskers twitching at “standard deviation”
Furballs for emergency grade remediation.
[CHORUS]
Ohhh, I’m studying with kittens,
They’re my emotional support,
Every time I see percent signs
I require their report.
If the numbers start to chase me
And my brain begins to scream in pain
There’s a kitten on a football
Who wants me to up my game
[Verse 2]
“Correlation’s not causation!”
Preaches a kitten in a tie,
Meanwhile I’m just nodding like
“Okay now I understand why.”
There’s a chapter on jargon but
I still got no idea what it means,
But those kittens look so confident,
That I am trusting in their beans.
[CHORUS]
Ohhh, I’m studying with kittens,
Adorable ears and pretty paws,
Pouncing on the hardest formulas
And showin’ all the outliers their claws
When I finally pass this crazy class,
It won’t be just cuz I improved my mind—
It’ll be this team of tiny kittens
They are working overtime!
[Bridge]
Flashcards on my bedroom floor didn’t help (NO!)
Highlighters in twenty colors maybe more didn’t help (NO!)
Standard textbooks didn’t help, they put me to sleep (UH OH!)
But those hits of kitten cuteness are exactly what I need (LET’S GO!)
[Verse 3]
So when fall arrives and I take my seat,
Instead of trembling hands and cold feet,
I’ll whisper, “Kitties, don’t fail me now,”
And somehow, wow, I’ll remember how.
No longer do I find statistics so chaotic and random
Because I read the book now I’m part of the fandom
So when my classmates ask for help lookin’ stricken
Imma use what I learned to do and pull out a kitten
[CHORUS]
Ooooh yeah, I’m studying with kittens,
Now significantly less afraid,
With them frolickin’ through my field notes
I know I got it made to pass the grade.
So when there’s no margin for error
You must learn math and get it done
Buy this book of poofy kittens
And you’ll make statistics fun!
[Outro]
Yeah, buy “Stats with Kittens” by Charlie Kufs
And you’ll make statistics fun!
