Subject: Learning math through songs

I teach high school math from Algebra I to AP Calculus. I went to an NCTM  
workshop in Minneapolis on singing. The presenter had a tape of various math 
songs he had personally written. Now I use his tape all the time and the kids 
really learn through it. For example, every one of my kids can sing his song 
about completing the square, and they seem to have an easier time with it than 
students I have taught in the past.

My question is, are you aware of any web sites, books, or other tapes that 
have 
math songs on them?  We have written several of our own this year, but seeing 
what others are doing would be beneficial as well.
