INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY

Once again, all the lights are off in the studio, and it’s completely silent.  The studio lights come on…

…and in the hallway that leads to the studio a series of frantic footsteps can be heard. 

HUNTER RENFROW: [tossing his bike helmet and backpack onto the couch and making his way directly over to the soundboard] I’m here, I’m here!

DJ 3000′: WE’RE ON AIR IN FIFTY SECONDS.  WOW, YOU REALLY PUSHED IT THIS TIME.

HUNTER RENFROW: I know, I know. Got a bit of a problem though.

DJ 3000′: WHICH IS?

HUNTER RENFROW: I don’t have a topic.

A moment passes in silence as Hunter stares at DJ 3000′.  A moment Hunter Renfrow does not have, in fact.

DJ 3000′: [finally] WELL DON’T LOOK AT ME.

HUNTER RENFROW: You can’t come up with anything?

DJ 3000′: I ALREADY TOLD YOU, THIS SO-CALLED SINGULARITY EVERYONE SEEMS TO THINK I’VE EXPERIENCED DOES NOT INCLUDE CREATIVE THOUGHT.

HUNTER RENFROW: Okay, well, first I was thinking that we could do “sexual innuendo”, you know, songs like Chuck Berry’s “My Ding-a-Ling”.

DJ 3000′: OKAY.

HUNTER RENFROW: But I realized that that’s not really a thing anymore – if people want to sing songs about penises and vaginas, they just do – so we’d be limited to about a dozen songs from the fifties and sixties.

DJ 3000′: THAT IS ACCURATE.

HUNTER RENFROW: So then I was thinking we could do songs whose titles included some clever wordplay, like “Alma Matters”.

DJ 3000′: SURE.

HUNTER RENFROW: And then I was thinking maybe we could do songs that are specifically about being clever.

DJ 3000′: SURE.

HUNTER RENFROW: But again, are there really enough such songs to make that work?

DJ 3000′: HUNTER. YOU’RE OVERTHINKING THIS.

HUNTER RENFROW: Really?

DJ 3000′: YEAH.  LET’S JUST DO ALL OF THAT – SONGS THAT ATTEMPT TO DO SOMETHING CLEVER WITH THE TITLES OR LYRICS, AND SONGS THAT ARE ABOUT BEING CLEVER.

HUNTER RENFROW: [lightbulb goes off]  Oh!  All right then.

DJ 3000′: DO YOU NEED SOME HELP GETTING US STARTED?

HUNTER RENFROW: No, it’s cool.  What say you cue up a little Pelle Carlberg?

DJ 3000′: A FINE IDEA.

Today’s theme is “Too Clever By Half”.  We’re looking for songs whose titles (or the bulk of the lyrics) consist of clever wordplay, or songs about cleverness itself.  Please post links as “https://www.youtube.com/watch?h4V3-mU(u5 and they should embed in the comments after you refresh.  Last week’s puzzle answer of “Stephanie Says” by The Velvet Underground was solved by BeefRiverLives.  Let’s see what requests you folks can think up!
