Two musical questions

1. What are the instruments playing in this song before the vocals come in? An organ? And... a piano? Chimes? Glockenspiel?

2. Please name a few songs with unusual subjects. Ideally, not pure novelty songs like "Mommy Got Run Over By A Reindeer."

"Andrew In Drag (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jf_l3EGQvL8)" by the Magnetic Fields- about a guy who falls in love with his buddy after seeing him do a drag show.

"Heretic Pride (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ6O7Jk4MXs)" by the Mountain Goats- about being burned at the stake.

If we're counting songs from musicals, "All The Men In My Life Keep Getting Killed By Candarian Demons (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yx2m1sfupmI)" is . . . pretty self-explanatory.

"Download This Song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBkuiChImb8)" by MC Lars is about how pirating is good for the music industry.
