[AnOminous]

Fairly young for an oldie, but Save it for Later by the Beat (or the English Beat depending on where your market was at the time thanks to IP bullshit).

Also has a nice really juvenile sex pun right in the title. Clue: Save it, Fellator.

Tom Lehrer is God.

I can't think of a single Lehrer tune I don't love, but this may be my favorite, despite it not even being his own song.

But my favorite political one.

 

[GloryHole Stalker]

A stone cold classic from The King, and one of the very few remakes of one of his songs that Chuck Berry actually praised...

How about some interesting music history? There's a long dead subgenre of country-western that's specifically about prospecting for uranium. (With the advent of the atomic age people speculated that uranium would be the next gold rush) This gave way to pop music including references to nukes and atomic energy in the late 50s to early 60s.

Elton Britt: Uranium Fever. 1955.
