For a long time, he never showed his face on his 3B1B channel, I thought he was not likely good-looking since he was so intelligent and articulate, turned out he is good-looking. Now I just discovered he is musically talented too. All good genes.
So glad to say I was there live, the crowd went wild with the “1 0 1 0 1 0….” Also I see the first attempt of this was not included here, which has some impressive Grant vocals😉

Im just seeing Mr. Sanderson's face here, which I do very rarely, and Im noticing that without this man even knowing I exist, he has instilled the love for mathematics into me and taught me so much that I wouldve never known before. Thank you so much for changing my life so wildly and bringing me to such great places. Keep doing what youre doing, Im excited to see what comes next.
Hi Grant! Thank you for putting our balloons up on stage. The one seen in the background of this video was supposed to be a brown cube. There were three other balloon shapes, all blue tetrahedrons. It was a blast sneaking the balloon pump into the venue and building these shapes before the show.
HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FRICK TWO OF MY FAVORITE UA-cam DUDES TOGETHER I LOVE YOU BOTH THANK YOU SO MUUUUUCH (I now officially understand k-pop fans when they shout all their lungs during the whole concert)
Sift the twos and sift the threes, In the Sieve of Eratostheses, Sift the fives and sift the sevens, Then go round and sift elevens, And as the multiples sublime, The numbers that remain are prime!
I keep rewatching this! Their voices, beautiful separately and wonderful together. The banter, and Grant saying Damn. The playing, and the slides. The fun lyrics, and the parts where they diverge and come back together. It's all such a great combination!
math, teaching, poetry, amazing speaking and singing voice, guitar, handsomeness ... is there anything Grant can't do (iirc he also helped compose a bit of the main channel's music)
This is the greatest parody of a pop song that includes a full mathematical proof in its lyrics of all time. Seriously, so happy about this song, pure genius.
@@tylerduncan5908 Nah, UA-cam is full of them. This one is much better than most, though. Most of them are American college students studying Calculus 1 and getting really excited about integration by parts.
There’s no proof in their lyrics. Although this is an excellent practice of a researcher, I agree. I think theyre taking inspiration from a blues motive - it seems distinctly that its not a ‘pop’ thing. And in this case, it can’t be equated with actual blues music.
woah this is awesome. i didn't know about that sieve algorithm thing before and it's hilarious how there are apparently a lot of people thinking they have proved the twin prime conjecture starting from that algorithm even though they probably have not.
Holy primes Grant, this made my day! Just when I thought I couldn’t fall any deeper in love with your content! 😃 I had no idea you that you play guitar, and also sing. I’m also a guitar player and a singer-songwriter, and a computer scientist who’s very passionate about mathematics. Incredible performance, and so creative! Bravo!! 👏
Oh, too cool! I love blues, and I'm a bit of a maths nerd, so when YT offered this up for me to watch, I was intrigued. It did NOT disappoint! 😂 Love it, now I'm going to go look for more of the same!
Hey Grant, parody idea for you: "Axiom of Choice", to the tune (or rhythm) of "Weapon of Choice". I've tried myself, but I don't know enough maths. Your maths song parodies are great and I think you could do the idea justice.
This is what I pay my internet bills for
Sometimes I forget the internet isn’t free
😂😂😂
grants singing voice is amazing
I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know
yeah, could be at 70 million subs with very little effort
Before I ever saw him, I imagined him to look kinda like Withers, so this makes so much sense :)
For a long time, he never showed his face on his 3B1B channel, I thought he was not likely good-looking since he was so intelligent and articulate, turned out he is good-looking. Now I just discovered he is musically talented too. All good genes.
He's been serenading us with his math voice for years, it's no great surprise when his singing voice is just as good 🙂↔️
I'll tell my kids these were Simon and Garfunkel
So glad to say I was there live, the crowd went wild with the “1 0 1 0 1 0….”
Also I see the first attempt of this was not included here, which has some impressive Grant vocals😉
I was kind of clenching at this part -- the mod 5 part seems really hard to sing without messing up!
Lyrics:
Ain't no twin prime solution
It ain't known how they behave
Do the twin primes go on and on?
It's been open so damn long
No-one knows quite what to say
When are primes just two away?
Well firstly are primes ever done?
Euclid said there's just no way
Multiply them and add one
Every factor of that sum
Is a prime not in the array
So they never end, well, okay
But when are primes just two away?
Is there some algorithm?
To sift the primes some simple way?
I know the first one, that's the two
To find the rest, here's what you do
Reduce the naturals modulo two
(Oh I get it! ...No, I, I, I don't get it, actually. Can you spell it out?)
It goes one oh, one oh, one oh, one oh, one oh, one oh, one oh...

But what of twin primes on and on?
As the new primes do go on (That prime theorem)
The gaps between them grow this way (Something about Riemann)
For a big prime, call it p
The gap that follows tends to be
On the mean, the logarithm base e
But will they stop coming just two away?

This needs to be pinned!
@@rtg_onefourtwoeightfiveseven at 3:35 grant says "No, stop", (Also, it says this in the [man-made] subtitles as well)
@@ZephyrysBaum Thanks. (The subtitles weren't up at the time I made the original comment, just for the record.)
What the hell can’t grant do, these should be the role models people look upto. Loved this!
For the people, who do not know the original Bill Withers song, which is being parodied here, it is called: "Ain't No Sunshine". :)
Do I have to watch Notting Hill again now?
The bassline is kinda like superstition?
Love the polymeter at 2:18 ! Putting the "math" in "math rock"
I love how Matt is just sitting there looking at his laptop as if the greatest collab this world ever needed wasn’t happening right in front of him.
He was running the slides (per Grant at the end).
You guys just casually drastically raised the standard for videos to show in high school math classes

is this math rock?
Standupmaths, 3blue1brown, acapellascience in one video? Music and math? This is my favourite video in UA-cam 😭
Tim's voice is unreal. That falsetto at the end. Omg.
Another unexpected surprising side of the great Grant Sanderson.
10 10 10 10 10 10....
Just can't get it out of my head!!
I think Bill's opinion might be that you NAILED the repetitive parts!! Excellent!!
Anyone else here who has this song stuck in your head?
Wherever I go now, I always hear "one oh, one oh, one oh"....
2:39 tim's singing here is killer and i refuse to let it go under yall's radars
Hi Grant! Thank you for putting our balloons up on stage. The one seen in the background of this video was supposed to be a brown cube. There were three other balloon shapes, all blue tetrahedrons.
It was a blast sneaking the balloon pump into the venue and building these shapes before the show.
I saw it and knew it was a cube! I assumed it was from a previous act.
why am I addicted to this song 😭
“one oh- two one, oh- two one, oh- two one, oh- two” so inspirational 🥹
oneOoneOoneO hahahhaha what a bless is to have Grant in this universe
One oh one oh one one oh...hey-ya gonna leave that PROOF alone, ain't no way that it's shone...
This slaps so hard.
HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FRICK TWO OF MY FAVORITE UA-cam DUDES TOGETHER I LOVE YOU BOTH THANK YOU SO MUUUUUCH (I now officially understand k-pop fans when they shout all their lungs during the whole concert)
PREACH!
Two??? The third one is sitting right there!
As a kpop enjoyer I can tell you I almost lost my voice watching this lol.
I love this comment so much like REAL
@@JanStrojil He's the Parker favorite!
Damn this guy knows coding, math, teaching and singing. What am I doing in my life
Sift the twos and sift the threes,
In the Sieve of Eratostheses,
Sift the fives and sift the sevens,
Then go round and sift elevens,
And as the multiples sublime,
The numbers that remain are prime!

I swear ive watched this video waaay too many times… and i will continue to do so!
math, teaching, poetry, amazing speaking and singing voice, guitar, handsomeness ... is there anything Grant can't do
(iirc he also helped compose a bit of the main channel's music)
Everytime I come back to this video I catch myself trying to like it again lol 😆
I love the intersection of math and music on UA-cam
Didnt know my mans could sing so well ❤
It’s so good to hear our fave singing scientist!!!!
The little harmonies at 4:34 are so juicy!
3:22
This video deserves the largest known prime number of likes!
Or at least the logarithm of the next natural number base 2.
@@allozovsky That looks a bit more feasible...

How come that isn't a category at the Grammys?
@@scottychen2397They prove the infinitude of primes toward the start.
GRANTS LIVE VOCALS FOR DAYSSSS❤️🔥❤️🔥 I was screaming my head off the whole time. Pls release more music!!
the banger was "one oh one oh" that was supposed to be "I know I know" LOL
The way they incorporated one-o in the song ❤
This is really good music
You just let me discover AcapellaScience. Holy Moly you are both so talented in your YT channels!
Such a fun channel! I think my favorite is Entropic Time, followed by the one about planets with the Disney songs.
SUPER nice to see Tim Blais joining in! What a match :D
Another banger
They are at their prime! ❤👏
PLEASE release this on spotify
This is just amazing. No end to Grant's talents
AHAHAHAHAHA 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 THAT COOL GUYS!!!, "LEAVE THAT PROOF ALONE!!"
Legitimately incredible.
I started watching and laughed my butt off within 5 seconds once I saw who was sitting at that computer
This is so funny that I go in the bus and start laughing alone
I need a studio version of this!
Woke up to this. Made my day
I'm so glad we get to hear more math songs from Grant!
That bass line tho!
A duet with Vi Hart would simply be too much power to be contained within the known universe
Damn, the lyrics is pure joy! This was just awesome🔥
woah this is awesome. i didn't know about that sieve algorithm thing before and it's hilarious how there are apparently a lot of people thinking they have proved the twin prime conjecture starting from that algorithm even though they probably have not.

Brilliant!
Well, this was fun.
You’re amazing and this show was so good. Thanks for coming to one of my favorite venues! ❤
this is my new favorite video of all time holy moly
Great material. Congratulations it exceeded my expectations and spent a good moment listebing !
Best prime numbers songs.
Simply wow
Never thought I’d hear 3blue1brown’s singing voice
Love you guys, I really do
Hey Grant, parody idea for you: "Axiom of Choice", to the tune (or rhythm) of "Weapon of Choice". I've tried myself, but I don't know enough maths. Your maths song parodies are great and I think you could do the idea justice.
I would love a Spotify playlist with all the lyrics teaching me something.
Awesome 💯
Lawyers + Historians = our own only hope
Absolutely amazing
Excellent work, Grant! This song is amazing. This is going to become a classic in math classes.
Didn't know this dude could sing.
I'm pleasantly surprised
Absolutely fantastic in a fun and creative way.
This may be my favorite genre of parody
this is amazing
Finally, something to top "finite simple group of order 2"!
love how the emcee is vibing along 🔥
So clever!
that's awesome! does anyone still remember The Klein Four Group? They had a song called "Finite Simple Group (of Order Two)".
Omg this is the maths youtuber crossover I didn't know I needed
What can't this guy do?
Wow!
Love that there was something to (slant) rhyme with Eratosthenes!
How do you make a duck funky? Put it in the oven 'til it's bill withers 🦆 🔥
I had to laugh, but it's a little disturbing.
wow, so cool
I need more math parody songs in my life
This was both super cool and hilarious. lmao
you need to release this on spotify
Yo this fire
This is amazing. My jaw is on the floor. 🤯
Just amazing, fucking amazing to listen
If you were to put this up on spotify, I'd love to be able to put it on a playlist
I had my doubts but boy did this deliver! Great stuff! 😂
I was listening to this on repeat doing business studies course work and ended up reading the Wikipedia article about twin primes instead
fabulous, grant!
