Monday Morning Music - "Sweet As Any Harmony"

Monday Morning Music is whatever tune I've got in my head when I wake up.

Thomas Dolby - She Blinded Me With Science

 "She Blinded Me With Science" is a New Wave song by British musician Thomas Dolby, released in 1982.  The song's chorus, "She blinded me with science", plays upon the colloquial British expression "to blind [someone] with science", meaning to deliberately confuse someone by giving the impression of highly complex knowledge.  The song features interjections from the British scientist and TV presenter Magnus Pyke, who repeatedly shouts "Science!" and delivers other lines in a deliberately over-the-top mad scientist voice.

In the music video (which I couldn't embed, but here's The video you remember ), Dolby commits himself to a Home for Deranged Scientists. Various mad scientist types operate fanciful inventions on the grounds of the Home and act insane with normal scientific items. Throughout the course of the video, Magnus Pyke (as the Home Doctor) tries to diagnose what he is suffering from, all the while being seduced by Miss Sakamoto, a secretary in the Home.

Wynona's Big Brown Beaver - Primus

"Wynona's Big Brown Beaver" is the first single off Primus's 1995 album Tales from the Punchbowl. 
The song's lyrics constitute an absurd, rambling tale about a woman named Wynona and her "beaver". They combine an on-the-surface crude sexual double entendre in "beaver" with the more purely nonsensical silliness typical of the band (e.g., strange references to baboons, Taco Bell, carnies, and porcupines).

 Many incorrectly believed "Wynona" was about actress Winona Ryder. Claypool has stated several times that the song is not about Ryder, pointing out that the song's name is spelled and pronounced differently. While this placated Ryder, her then boyfriend Soul Asylum vocalist David Pirner took offense and renamed one of his songs "Les Claypool's A Big Fucking Asshole" in concert.

Soundgarden - Burden In My Hand

 "Burden in My Hand" is a song by the American rock band Soundgarden. Written by frontman Chris Cornell, "Burden in My Hand" was released on September 18, 1996 as the second single from the band's fifth studio album, Down on the Upside (1996). The song topped the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, where it spent a total of five weeks at number one. 

The lyrics of 'Burden in My Hand' suggest the song is about a man who murders a woman he is in a relationship with and leaves her in the desert, not without regret. Some fans believe the lyrics are 'deeper' than the surface and indicative of something such as drug abuse or an abusive relationship; however, guitarist Kim Thayil called the song "the "Hey Joe" of the '90s."

OK Go - Get Over It

"Get Over It" is the first single released by OK Go from their self-titled debut album. It was released as a promotional single in the US (the band's very first Capitol Records release) in 2002.

 A music video was made in 2002. It features the band performing the song in a large recreation hall. Various objects are also shown from time to time such as garbage bags, a wedge of cheese, deer heads, furniture, a Cadillac and different murals. The song is stopped in the middle to show a shot of the band playing ping-pong.
