This Schoolhouse Rock! aired in 1973, so it is entirely possible "Figure Eight," sung by Blossom Dearie, had some part in my early mathematics education(!). I remember these would come on usually after all the really cool Saturday morning cartoons had ended, around 10' o'clock or so. I usually then had to go outside and mow the lawn or something of that nature. This is such a haunting and melancholy song, being as it was intended for elementary to middle school age kids:

You should get the School House Rock DVD set. It's great. (Just go to my blog and click on an Amazon add first)
I was tempted a few years ago to get that (or was it the CD?). I'd decided then I didn't "need" it. Maybe I should though...
Oh, you need it alright! Everyone does.
I think this post has convinced me that I simply must have the DVD. It'll be educational for the kids, after all!
Good excuse, Amy!
