I'm going to have to side with They Might Be Giants on this one. The Animaniacs song is dear to my heart, but it doesn't really hold together without the accompanying video (and a lot of the prose is forced).
I'm late on this one, but i HATE that TMBG song with the fury of seven or eight suns. Half my generation thinks James K. Polk is a good president, while he's in fact a slave monger who launched an unnecessary war of aggression to acquire new slave territories.

ReplyDeleteCoincidentally the topic of remembering all the state capitals came up today and I got the animaniacs song for that stuck in my head.
Jonathan Coulton for me, with the Simpsons in a close second. ("I'm William Henry Harrison/I died in 20 days!")
