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...
omg 😆
It's 100% true!
nah bruh that's actually a good one :)
True... Also true:
Hence 107,849,146,027 deaths on our planet.
Coincidence? 🤔
The perfect finale!!
This thread wins meme Monday
So if I don't confuse correlation and causation, can I avoid dying?
I had to check… but turns out that people denying the antecedent also die ;(

Reminds me of Spurious Correlations!

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!
This is so good. I'll
plagiarize... errrr...steal... I mean... make a homage version for comiCSS.🤭😂
