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.

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!

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./
