In return, here are a few songs for you that you may not have heard as they areweird obscure.
John Fisher Ford by Zog Bogbean
This is--is there a musical equivalent of juvenalia?--by the lead singer of Marcy Playground. Highly infectious and catchy, sort of like one of those kids' singalong tapes that you listen to over and over in the car, but the lyrics go a little something like this:
Vedergällningen (Vengeance) by Garmarna
Fabulous recommendation fromwired_lizard: "Garmarna is a Swedish folk-industrial band (yup, folk-industrial) that mostly does glorious adaptations of traditional Swedish ballads and folksongs". This song is lovely and haunting and addictive.
J'ai vu le loup (Traditional) by the Baltimore Consort
This is my song that I heard in French class and spent years trying to find again. ;) Traditional French drinking song, toe-tapping and irresistible. (Yeah, I don't know why I keep describing these songs as if they were drugs or diseases when I want you to download them.)
Canada is Really Big by the Arrogant Worms
Canada's premiere (and only) comedic musicians (that I know of) sing "our national anthem ... that we wrote". Recorded live. Apparently I end up singing this song a lot when I'm drunk, but it is entirely suitable for singing sober, as well. Sample lyrics:

John Fisher Ford died
Held a flame over his basepipe
Tried to smoke some crack
And it killed him

The USA has tanks
Switzerland has banks
They can keep them thanks
They just don't amount
Cause when you get down to it
You find out what the truth is
It isn't what you do with it
It's the size that counts

Anyhow, thanks sooo much for the music. You rock!
