"Fly Me to the Mean" is an educational music video that transforms Frank Sinatra's "Fly Me to the Moon" into a statistical parody for Sam Farrar's statistics class. Garrick Meack performs alongside the Silver City Jazz Committee in a classroom setting. The lyrics cleverly incorporate statistical terms, covering sampling for population inference in the opening verse ("Fly me to the mean, let me sample among the stars") and hypothesis testing in the chorus ("In other words, I'll test your hypothesis"). The second verse explores regression and correlation with visuals of scatter plots, while the bridge emphasizes confidence intervals ("Hold my hand, in a confidence band") to highlight parameter estimation uncertainty. The final chorus celebrates significance levels ("Fill my p-value with data, let me know what stats are like on Jupiter and Mars"), making statistical concepts relatable. This creative blend of music and mathematics provides an engaging learning experience for the classroom.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
