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."

Also one of the all-time great TMBG videos, up there with "The Mesopotamians" (there's another one for you, Rachel) and "I'm Impressed" (which is about being intimidated by authority figures... is that an "unusual" topic?).

Absolutely! I love the video.

That second one reminded me of the Bangles' "Walk Like an Egyptian"--an activity that there aren't too many other songs about.
