This year's April Fools' (April 1st) StatQuest demystifies one of the most poorly understood concepts in Statistics, Machine Learning and Data Science, the Silly Song! In this StatQuest, we apply various Machine Learning methods to Silly Songs, one step at a time, to clearly understand Silly Songs.

NOTE: This StatQuest assumes that you are already familiar with BAM. If not check out the 'Quest: youtu.be/i4iUvjsGCMc
