Oh, another group with lots of weird songs is Rasputina. "My Little Shirtwaist Fire" is a favorite of mine, about the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire, but they also have ones called "Howard Hughes", "Rose K." (about JFK's mom), "The Donner Party", "1816, The Year Without a Summer", "Herb Girls of Birkenau" (about Auschwitz), and for extra weirdness, "Rats", which is about the 16th century decision by the then Pope to declare the semi-aquatic capybara as fish for Catholics to eat during Lent.
