Passion About Something Useful Like Maths

This is a buoyant, deadpan novelty indie-pop song about loving the most specific childhood passion and being asked to make it more useful. The verses follow a car-ride explanation of Street Fighter game production, while the chorus turns the parental question into a bright, repeatable hook: “Why can’t you have this passion about something useful like maths?” 1

Listen when a harmless obsession deserves a little more room, especially on a drive, during a game-night warm-up, or whenever somebody mistakes usefulness for joy. The source wording and author credit belong to @snetzel3. 1
