I was surprised yesterday to see my iPod’s random shuffle cough up a song titled “Education” by modest mouse. Unfortunately (perhaps predictably?) it sucked. And the lyrics were pretty bad as well, even for high-school poets.
A few minutes on Google and the alternatives look like Pearl Jam (song, lyrics), and The Kinks, (lyrics) which seems to set the low point.
Without wanting to run through all the multiple versions of Van Halen’s Hot For Teacher (although I think the big band version by the appropriately named Richard Cheese has some promise), there has got to be something better.
Suggestions?
