Since TMC (Twitter Math Camp) IS camp, of course we have a camp song every year!  (Unless Sean skips TMC – no pressure here Sean, but never forget that the one year you DIDN’T come, we didn’t have a song.  And I promise that Rachel, Dave, and I tried so hard!)

Every year while at TMC, we go furiously searching for the words to each and every song so we can sing them together, at game night, in the car, in the hotel lobby, because that is also what you do at camp – you sing everywhere you go!

So, here is a compilation of all of the amazing TMC songs!  Special thanks to Sean, Rachel, Dave and Tina who always make it happen every year!

Short and Sweet!  ALL of the MP3 files are here!  Thank you James Cleveland!

#TMC12 – “Tweet Me Maybe”

Sung to the tune of “Call Me Maybe”

I sat alone in my class,
Hoping my students would pass,
Prepping was kicking my ass
But help was on the way

I started searching the net,
To find a way to connect
Found teachers I’d never met
and I was on my way

Dan’s blog was poppin’,
G-Reader, feed not stoppin’
Each day, I would drop-in
Guess it’s time for hop in!

Hey, I just found you, And this is crazy,
But here’s my ID, So tweet me, maybe?

It’s hard to reach out, Please don’t flame me,
But here’s my ID, So tweet me, maybe?

Hey, I just found you, And this is crazy
But here’s my ID, So tweet me, maybe?

It’s hard to reach out, Please don’t flame me,
But here’s my ID, So tweet me, maybe?

Oh holy crap can it be,
Nowak responded to me,
Blogging math celebrity,
She’s twitter royalty

I beg, and borrow and steal
No reinventing the wheel,
What are these urges I feel?
Nerdy math sex appeal

Hal-lo-ween was awesome
Dull worksheets, I could toss ‘em
My, i-deas could blossom

Now it’s time for Math Camp, baby!

Hey, I just met you, all in person.
Twitter Math Camp, this was the first one

It’s hard to teach right, in i-so-laaaaaation,
So here’s some PD, just like va-ca-tion

Hey, I just met you, all in person.
Twitter Math Camp, this was the first one
It’s hard to teach right, in i-so-laaaaaaation,
So here’s some PD, just like va-ca-tion

Before I came onto your sites,
I must’ve taught so bad,
I must’ve taught so bad,
I must’ve taught so so bad

Before I came onto your sites
I must’ve taught so bad
and you should know that
It was so, so sad

I loved free pizza, and the brew-ry.
You know my ID, So tweet me, maybe?

Ci-ty Muse-um, or the Card’s game,
So tweet me sometime, I won’t be too lame

So, thank you Shelli, thank you Li-sa.
Don’t want to go home – so glad to meet ya

Now that it’s coming to an end
we’ll miss you so bad
we’ll miss you so bad
we’ll miss you so, so bad

Before you came into our lives
We must’ve taught so bad
And you should know that.

So tweet me, maybe?

#TMC13 – Tic-Toc TMC13

Wake up in the morning draggin’ both my feet
Up all night, planning for classes, did I even sleep?
Before I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of….. *soda*
Cause when I’m done for the week, I’ll still be in a coma

(I’m so) Tired of bandanas on dogs, dogs
Looking for a lesson ’bout logs, logs
(So I’m) checking out all your blogs, blogs

(and now) I feel like I’m gettin’ less bitter
Then my heart starts to flitter
(When I) read about a conference on twitter

Math camp, getting amped
Maybe I’ll meet Fawn and Sam
We’ll do math, share some laughs
And improve our teaching craft
(All) weekend, meeting friends
Makin’ T-M-C trend, like
(Whoa-oh oh oh)

Math camp, getting amped
Hashtag #needaredstamp
We’ll do math, share some laughs
And improve our teaching craft
(All) weekend, meeting friends
Makin’ T-M-C trend, like
(Whoa-oh oh oh)

Ain’t got a care in the world, as I get on the plane
In-fin-ite tangents on my iPod, I’ve got math on the brain
And now, the tweeps are showing up, dropping trivia knowledge
Learning more here in four days, than in four years of college

(I’m talking about) tweets blowin up our phones, phones
High priest-ess on her throne, throne
(Mathalicious in our) romance cone, cone

(Now) Michael Pershan doing Jay-Z
Nathan gettin’ cra-zy
Food truck foods don’t phase me
(Admittedly, that last line was lazy)

Math camp, now we’re amped
Rooms of swooning Desmos fans
(We’ll) do math, share some laughs
And improve our teaching craft
(All) weekend, meeting friends
Makin’ T-M-C trend, like
(Whoa-oh oh oh)
(Ro-ro-ro-ro cone)

Math camp, now we’re amped
Stealing all your lesson plans
(We’ll) do math, share some laughs
And improve our teaching craft
(All) weekend, meeting friends
Makin’ T-M-C trend, like
(Whoa-oh oh oh)

O-ri-ga-mi
Kar-ee-oke
Piano duels
It was all cool

Lisa, Shelli
Max, Anthony
James and Jessie
How we thank you

We listen now
We notice now
We wonder now
And you showed us

Listen, shut up
Listen, shut up
Listen, shut up

(Sam!!) Twitter math camp don’t start ’til I walk in

Math camp, still so amped
But hey, where the hell is Dan?
(We) Did maths, shared some laughs
And improved our teaching craft
(All) weekend, meeting friends
Makin’ T-M-C trend, like
(Whoa-oh oh oh)

Math camp, we got amped
Lisa Henry is our champ
(We) Did math, shared some laughs
And improved our teaching craft
(all) weekend, met our friends
Wish it all would never end, oh
(No oh oh oh)

#TMC14:  No Sean = No Song 😞

#TMC15 –  “Party at the TMC”

Party at the TMC mp3

I hopped off the plane at L.A.X.
Because I didn’t realize there was a closer airport
Welcome to the land of awesome tweeps (whoa),
Am I gonna fit in?

Jumped in the car,
Here we are for the fourth time
(beat) Look to my right and I see the Harvey Mudd Sign
This is all so crazy
Everybody seems so famous

My phone is buzzin’ with the fav-rites and the retweets
So much excitement and I’m nervous,
That’s when Lisa turned on the microphone
And then TMC was on
And then TMC was on
And then TMC was on

[Chorus:]
So I put my hands up
I’m giving high fives
The MTBoS is here to stay
We’re starting on time like yeah
Movin’ our thumbs like yeah
We got our phones out,
We’re tweeting along,
There’s awesome packed in every day
Yeah, twitter math camp where your work is play
Yeah, twitter math camp where your work is play

Get to Friday gonna share my fav
Everybody’s tweeting at me now
Like, “Who’s that chick that 3D prints?”
I gotta go and track her down.
(beat) Sooo hard to choose, why can’t I pick three?
It’s definitely not like normal PD

‘Cause all I see are teaching pro-s
Sha-kin’ it in front of two pianos
My tummy’s rumbling’ and I gotta pick a food TRUCK
Gonna count the times that fawn will say f….
(whoa whoa whoa! -something incredibly heartfelt that makes us all feel very emotional)
That’s when Chris Shore dropped and did the worm
And then Fawn put a wig on
And then Fawn put a wig on
And then Matt put a wig on

So we put our hands up
We’re two hundred strong
And growing bigger ev’ry day
Bar-be-que-ing like yeah
Nixing the tricks like yea
Now look at these pics
Which doesn’t belong?
There’s awesome packed in every day
Yeah, twitter math camp where your work is play
Yeah, twitter math camp where your work is play

Soon I’m hoppin’ on my flight (on my fllight)
Wish I’d won The Price Is Right (Price is Right)
Hard to leave you every time (every time)
But then I’ll just log on and I’ll feel alright

So we put our hands up
We’re waving goodbye
We’re sad to all go away:
Courtyard chil-ling like yeah
Raf-fle-ing stuff like yeah
We found what we love,
We’re doing that now,
And did it for the last four days
Yeah, twitter math camp where your work is play
Yeah, twitter math camp where your work is play
