1. Why does the sun shine?

The sun is a mass
of incandescent gas,
a gigantic nuclear furnace;
where hydrogen is built into helium
at a temperature of millions of degrees.


I voted for Birdhouse in your Soul, though.

2. That is an excellent choice!

They have too many quality songs to squeeze them all into the poll.

5. Yes, that's true

They do have too many great songs to fit in a poll. Looking down the thread, I see now that I hadn't even considered Particle Man!

3. Particle Man

Particle man, particle man
Doing the things a particle can
What's he like? It's not important
Particle man

Is he a dot, or is he a speck?
When he's underwater does he get wet?
Or does the water get him instead?
Nobody knows, Particle man

Triangle man, Triangle man
Triangle man hates particle man
They have a fight, Triangle wins
Triangle man

Universe man, Universe man
Size of the entire universe man
Usually kind to smaller man
Universe man

He's got a watch with a minute hand,
Millenium hand and an eon hand
When they meet it's a happy land
Powerful man, universe man

Person man, person man
Hit on the head with a frying pan
Lives his life in a garbage can
Person man

Is he depressed or is he a mess?
Does he feel totally worthless?
Who came up with person man?
Degraded man, person man

Triangle man, triangle man
Triangle man hates person man
They have a fight, triangle wins
Triangle man

4. A former pastor of mine tried to give a sermon on "Particle Man"

I don't think he really understood the song to begin with, so it didn't really turn out that well.
:D

7. Minimum Wage! (whip crack)

Minimum Wage! (crack)

That's the whole song.

That's all the song you need.

Especially while you're on your way from N'awlins to HotLanta to give OxyRush, and fascists generally, some hell, which was where I heard it./
