Four links about songs, plus a playlist:
“‘The Girl From Ipanema’ is a far weirder song than you thought.”
“‘Carry On Wayward Son’ is just 6 guitar riffs in a trenchcoat pretending to be a real song.”
“The cast of the German production of Hamilton performs ‘Alexander Hamilton’.” (via)
“‘Jolene’ but it’s gay.” More “but it’s gay” songs. (via)
