To those who like this way of using music to popularize and celebrate mathematics, perhaps the other related project might even be more appealing: The Elite Hackers : http://genius.com/Nemesis-fixx-the-3lite-hackx0rs-lyrics

As I've commented elsewhere, this other song is meant to expose people to the concepts of Information Security (a very important topic in our culture and world today). It is a story of an African hacker that wakes up in the night, to find his servers under attack by the NSA. The song traces the battle that then proceeds, and in the process, drops many references to some of the real-world concepts encountered in real hacking and info-sec.

I hope these sort of music projects don't just entertain nerds and geeks, but introduce STEM concepts to a wider audience, using media such as rap music, that many youth can readily relate to, and perhaps even give more attention to than long essays and books - the attention spans of the young are getting worse, and so using such approaches as music to educate might make more sense for some scenarios.
