Check out the index.


Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme album at Amazon.com
Simon & Garfunkel's, "The Sun is Burning"
The Lyrics:
Now the sun has come to earth
Shrouded in a mushroom cloud of death.
Death comes in a blinding flash of hellish heat that leaves a smear of ash
And the sun has come to earth.
Why:
A sweet lullaby like song about dreamy bees and babies and hand holding couples, and then all of a sudden... THE MUSHROOM CLOUD OF DEATH! It then goes on to describe "Twisted sightless wrecks of men", all still to the same sweet tune.
