I was once hired to write a song about this called "Correlation does not imply causation" for a research project in statistics education. The question was whether interactive songs could be used to teach concepts. So it's a bit like a mad lib where students type in responses to prompts and those responses get worked into the song when it plays back. The interactive version doesn't seem to be working but here's a link to the demo with pre-filled-in responses...

In case you're wondering, students who used the songs learned more, but we're not exactly sure why...
That song is far too catchy!
Amazing. May I ask how old were they? Anyway, I’d say definitely cut your hair. It’s worth it!

Coincidence? 🤔

Lol. I too feel suddenly productive at 3 AM for some reason. And I get distracted less?
Am I normal? ;)

Been using JS since '94 or '95. I typed in the code above and was still amazed to see it equal 0. Just never had an occasion to compare " \t\r\n" to 0.
Should've known JS would equate white-space with 0, but still painful.
