Fine, maybe you can play the Star Wars cantina song on anything

There’s a decent chance that this past Thursday you, like so many of us, saw that video of a precocious mathematician named Dani Ochoa scratching out a physics equation to the tune of the Star Wars cantina song (apparently formally titled “Mad About Me.”) It is also possible that when you saw said video you thought, That doesn’t look so hard. I’m pretty sure I can do that. I mean, maybe not the doing math part but probably the rest of it. It’s not like she was deriving an equation in real time, you wouldn’t think. She’s just writing something down to the tune of the song! You could do that with anything! Perhaps you even went so far as to start scratching out said tune with your fingernail on the side of your laptop. Satisfied with that result, maybe you even considered pulling out a pencil and a pad of paper to give it a go in earnest. At that point it’s possible you instead took a nap and forgot about the whole thing. Look, it was basically already the weekend, okay?
