This song was originally written to and intended to be sung to the tune of “That’s Entertainment” (lyrics by Howard Dietz, music by Arthur Schwartz, from the movie The Bandwagon). It was written in 1985 as a potential theme song for a Children’s Television Workshop series, which was eventually called “Square One TV”. However, the owners of the copyright to “That’s Entertainment” refused to allow the music to be used, so I wrote an original tune. My words may of course be sung to the tune of “That’s Entertainment”. In 1993 the song was used as part of a celebration, presented by the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute of Berkeley, California, in honor of Andrew Wiles’s proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem. The optional verse about Wiles was added for that occasion.
