Lyrics:

I thought inference was just a fairy tale,
Confused by stats and probability
Frequentist approaches
Made no sense to me
Summarizing evidence by p?!

Then I saw Tom Bayes -- Now I'm a Believer!
Without a trace of doubt in my mind,
I'm a Bayesian, oh I'm a believer,
I couldn't p now if I tried!

I thought likelihood was just the only thing,
Turn the crank and get the MLE,
What's the use of thinking,
Disconnect your brain,
Play along and minimize the pain.

Then I saw Tom Bayes -- Now I'm a Believer!
Without a trace of doubt in my mind,
I'm a Bayesian, oh I'm a believer,
I couldn't p now if I tried!

SAS was out to get me,
That's the way it seemed,
Fixed effects and forced normality!

Then I saw Tom Bayes -- Now I'm a Believer!
Without a trace of doubt in my mind,
I'm a Bayesian, oh I'm a believer,
I couldn't p now if I tried!
