Many of you have seen Rob Paravonian’s amazing treatise on Pachelbel’s Canon in D.
This is a very interesting take on the piece.

So, babies (I have discovered) learn the music they hear frequently in the car.
I am certain that aiden_freeman will have the lyrics to S.J. Tucker‘s Sirens down before he is 18 months.
So, to be subversive, I’ve decided to play fun music with complex lyrics. In order that he hopefully tries to learn them.
This is my short list so far. I’m looking for suggestions:
“It’s the End of the World as we Know It” – REM
“We Didn’t Start the Fire” – Billy Joel
“The Elements” – Tom Lehrer
“Lobachevsky” – Tom Lehrer
“Modern Major General” – Gilbert and Sullivan
I figure, something from Sondheim… not sure what.
Suggestions?
Edit: Added some facts about Cosmic Dolm. Explained the oops in a cut.
While doing some wikipedia surfing I came across a very interesting video.
Codo – Shortened from “Cosmic Dolm” was by a group called “DÖF” which stands for ‘Deutsch-Österreichisches Feingefühl’. Cosmic Dolm means Cosmic Idiot. The song is from 1983.
This is truly Austrian/German New Wave of the early 80s. Think Sprockets in colour. The song very odd. But also very original. While the words may make little sense. Listen to the chord progression. ESPECIALLY at about :50 seconds in when they sing the underlying tune.
I figure about 90+% of the readers will say, “Oh… oops”
Remember, this song ‘predates’ by about 10 years.
