Animaniacs – "Nations Of The World" </h2> <p style="text-align: center;"> </p> <p> Like the "<em>Brain Song</em>" and the "<em>Invasion Song</em>" (above) and the "<em>Element Song</em>" (below), this is a list song. It is just brilliant all round, I wonder if it managed to fit all of the countries in – I believe they did – can anyone confirm? Here are the <a href="http://www.stlyrics.com/songs/a/animaniacs8676/nationsoftheworld491365.html" target="_blank">lyrics</a>. </p> <p> <strong>Best Lines<br /> </strong> </p> <blockquote> <p> <em>Burundi, Lesotho, and Malawi, Togo<br /> The Spanish Sahara is gone,<br /> Niger, Nigeria, Chad, and Liberia<br /> Egypt, Benin, and Gabon.<br /> </em> </p> </blockquote> <h2> 6. Monty Python – "The Galaxy Song" </h2> <p style="text-align: center;"> </p> <p> Monty Python is just a<span id="main" style="visibility: visible;"><span id="topstuff" style="visibility: visible;"><a class="spell" href="http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&ei=GImjS7OtDtegkQXgw4XpCA&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&ved=0CAUQBSgA&q=smorgasbord&spell=1"><b><i> </i></b></a>smorgasbord of geek music, but I just love this one, it is tiny and simple and full of nice factoids besides which it is clever and funny. All geeks love it. The lyrics can be found <a href="http://www.lyricsdepot.com/monty-python/galaxy-song.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br /> </span></span> </p> <p> <strong><span style="visibility: visible;"><span style="visibility: visible;">Best Lines</span></span><br /> </strong> </p> <blockquote> <p> <em>Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.<br /> It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.<br /> It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,<br /> But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.<br /> </em> </p> <p> and </p> <p> <em>And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,<br /> 'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth. <br /> </em> </p> </blockquote> <h2> 5. "Weird Al" Yankovic – "It's All About The Pentiums" </h2> <p style="text-align: center;"> </p> <p> Weird Al is another constant source of geek music, but I have to say that the two songs on this list are his best work as far this niche genre is concerned. You gotta read the <a href="http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/weirdalyankovic/itsallaboutthepentiums.html" target="_blank">lyrics</a> for this one, they are awesome. </p> <p> <strong>Best Lines<br /> </strong> </p> <blockquote> <p> <em>Yeah, payin' the bills with my mad programming skills<br /> Defraggin' my hard drive for thrills<br /> </em> </p> <p> and </p> <p> <em>You think your Commodore 64 is really neato<br /> What kinda chip you got in there, a Dorito?<br /> </em> </p> <p> and </p> <p> <em>In a 32-bit world, you're a 2-bit user<br /> You've got your own newsgroup, "alt.total-loser"<br /> </em> </p> <p> and way more </p> </blockquote> <h2> 4. Tom Lehrer’s – "Element Song" </h2> <p style="text-align: center;"> </p> <p> This old-school song just lists the elements, but does it brilliantly, of course it is a little out of date these days, (<em>i.e. some new ones have been discovered</em> :)). If you want to learn the elements you could certainly find many worse ways. Here are the lyrics. </p> <p> <strong>Best Lines<br /> </strong> </p> <blockquote> <p> <em>These are the only ones of which the news has come to Havard,<br /> And there may be many others, but they haven't been discavard.<br /> </em> </p> </blockquote> <h2> 3. Jonathon Coulton's – "Code Monkey" </h2> <p style="text-align: center;"> </p> <p> This one has already become a classic so I couldn't really leave it out despite the fact that it is neither educational or particularly funny. It is however rather accurate in so many clever ways, have a listen and then a <a href="http://www.leoslyrics.com/listlyrics.php?hid=%2Fm03GGhfPAk%3D" target="_blank">read</a>. </p> <p> <strong>Best Lines<br /> </strong> </p> <blockquote> <p> <em>Code Monkey think maybe manager want to write goddamn login page himself <br /> Code Monkey not say it out loud <br /> Code Monkey not crazy just proud <br /> </em> </p> <p> and </p> <p> <em>Much rather wake up eat a coffee cake<br /> Take bath, take nap<br /> This job fulfilling in creative way<br /> such a load of crap <br /> </em> </p> </blockquote> <h2> 2. Barenaked Ladies – "The History of Everything" </h2> <p style="text-align: center;"> </p> <p> You will recognize this one as the theme song to our favorite geek sitcom – "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Bang_Theory" target="_blank">The Big Bang Theory</a>", which gives it some special street-cred all on it's own, but it is actually a really great and clever song overall – despite being rather short. Try describing the history of the universe in under 2 minutes. Here are the <a href="http://www.justsomelyrics.com/1581273/Barenaked-Ladies-History-of-Everything-Lyrics" target="_blank">words</a>. </p> <p> <strong>Best Lines<br /> </strong> </p> <blockquote> <p> <em>The dinosaurs all met their fate<br /> They tried to leap but they were late<br /> And they all died (they froze their asses off)<br /> </em> </p> <p> and </p> <p> <em>Australopithecus would really have been sick of us <br /> Debating how we're here, they're catching deer (we're catching viruses)<br /> </em> </p> </blockquote> <h2> 1. "Weird Al" Yankovic – "White and Nerdy" </h2> <p style="text-align: center;"> </p> <p> If you haven't heard this one, you've been living on mars for the last few years, with your eyes closed and your fingers stuck in your ears :). It is a totally brilliant parody of the song "<em>Ridin'</em>" by Chamillionaire, but you don't need me to describe it for you, here is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_&_Nerdy" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>. Lyrics are <a href="http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/weirdalyankovic/whitenerdy.html" target="_blank">here</a>, you absolutely have to look at these, like I said – genius. </p> <p> <strong>Best Lines<br /> </strong> </p> <blockquote> <p> <em>My rims never spin to the contrary<br /> You'll find they're quite stationary<br /> </em> </p> <p> and </p> <p> <em>I memorized Holy Grail really well <br /> I can recite it right now and have you ROTFLOL<br /> </em> </p> <p> and </p> <p> <em>Only question I ever thought was hard<br /> Was do I like Kirk or do I like Picard?<br /> </em> </p> </blockquote> <p> That makes it a top ten, but of course there is<strong> always something that gets left out of the top 10</strong>, so I'll just put a few more awesome songs right here down the bottom – I won't tell the list police if you don't :). </p> <h2> 11. Animaniacs – "Yakko’s Universe" </h2> <p style="text-align: center;"> </p> <p> Just another song about the universe – fun. </p> <h2> 12. Monty Python – "Philospher's Song" </h2> <p style="text-align: center;"> </p> <p> Learn some philosopher names to impress your friends at parties :). </p> <h2> 13. Histeria! – "The Tale of the Tudors" </h2> <p style="text-align: center;"> <p> The whole history of the Tudors in about 3.5 minutes. The song is actually slightly inconsistent with itself :), can you spot where? </p> <p> There you have it, funny, educational and a nice break from hardcore $1 for more craziness (<em>also seems to be inevitable – the craziness :)</em>). </p>
