Tongue-twisting Sing Alongs

[ckd]

shadesong mentioned trying to keep up with "One Week" and "We Didn't Start The Fire" in the car, which led me to come up with a dozen candidates for "songs that will trip your tongue if you try to sing along". Can you get through the whole half hour?

1. "Confrontation", Les Misérables Original Broadway Cast (try to keep up with Javert and Valjean!)
2. "Hourglass", Squeeze
3. "What About Everything?", Carbon Leaf
4. "One Week", Barenaked Ladies
5. "Your Horoscope For Today", "Weird Al" Yankovic
6. "Can You Picture That?", Dr. Teeth & The Electric Mayhem
7. "We Didn't Start The Fire", Billy Joel (Flash version)
8. "Alphabet Of Nations", They Might Be Giants (WMV of live performance with additional lyrics)
9. "Bruces' Philosophers Song", Monty Python
10. "A Simple Desultory Philippic (Or How I Was Robert McNamara'd Into Submission)", Simon & Garfunkel
11. "The Elements", Tom Lehrer (Flash version)
12. "Stay", Lisa Loeb & Nine Stories

Well, "The Elements" does kind of cover the "Modern Major General" territory....

My father is a G&S fanatic and can, impromptu, sing along with almost any of the male parts in any of the operattas. For words alone he could likely keep up with the female parts but he gets lost trying to stay on tune.
