Hey, remember the times when parodies made us perform better in school?
While it’s unlikely that musicians ever thought of using rhythms from their most well-known songs to rework them for educational purposes, students are clever enough to do this themselves!
Well, calling all Millennials out there! Do you recall the times we couldn’t keep up with our classes and would go off to YouTube to watch parodies that could make our lectures a lot easier to digest?
Though younger generations may not be able to relate, worry not—here is a list of well-known parodies from the treasure box that will surely bring back memories and trigger earworms.

Another Calculus one! I mean, come on, how many of us have trouble understanding Mathematics and could use some musical rhythms to make things easier?
Obviously, Math isn’t everything! Science is challenging for us too, but music helps us learn!

Oh, those times! Students would rewrite the words of their favorite pop songs to convey information, creating memorable moments with cool rhythms and catchy hooks.
