Can anyone top this.

Listening to playlists on shuffle right now and pops 'being boiled' by the human league - incidentally a classic from before they went all pop music and lifted heavily for fade to grey by visage.

But, it's about the plight of silk worms and their plight in, erm, silk worm farming.

Has even the most drug addled muso ever had a more obscure muse?
 
They Might Be Giants - Birdhouse in Your Soul

Song about a night-light from the perspective of the night-light. One verse details its inadequacy compared to a lighthouse.

"There's a picture opposite me
Of my primitive ancestry
Which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free
Though I respect that a lot
I'd be fired if that were my job
After killing Jason off and countless screaming Argonauts"
