The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day

They Might Be Giants, "The Edison Museum" from No! (The Last Angry Man)

Commentary:
"The Edison Museum,
Not open to the public,
It's haunted towers rise
Into the clouds above it,
Folks drive in from out of town
To gaze in amazement when they see it…

"The Edison Museum,
Once a bustling factory
Today is but a dark and cobweb-
Covered hive of industry,
The tallest, widest, and most famous
Haunted mansion in New Jersey…

"A wondrous place it is,
There can be no doubt,
But no one ever goes in
And no one ever goes out.

"So when your children quarrel
And nothing seems to quell them,
Just tell them you'll take them
To the Edison Museum,
The largest independently-owned
And -operated mausoleum."
