Finite Simple Group (of Order Two)

This is hilarious and completely geniusesque!! Sadly, this may mostly appeal to mathematicians but even if you don't get the mathness of it, it is still a great tune! :) Enjoy! Update: After having listened to it quite a few times I have to say I find it rather romantic. Yes, romantic...
