Two musical questions

[rachelmanija]

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."

The opening of the song could include a harpsichord, but my first impression is that it sounds like a hammer dulcimer or similar instrument. With background chords from an orchestra or group that includes muted brass instruments.
