Green Eggs And Ham, Not Bob Dylan (1997) In 1997, a 30-something music producer from Houston, Texas, produced a mashup of Bob Dylan and Dr. Seuss titled Dylan Hears a Who, a parody album that went viral online. IIRC, the estate of Dr. Seuss issued a cease and desist order based on copyright infringement, and the album / website disappeared (but not before some of us snagged it).

Bolwoningen

In 1968 the Dutch government allocated funding for an experimental housing project in the city of Hertogenbosch. Responding to a call for submissions, artist/designer Dries Kreijkamp proposed Bolwoningen (Ball Houses), and his unusual concept was chosen. The design sat on the shelf until 1980 when construction of fifty of the small homes began.

Each 18-foot diameter sphere consists of prefabricated panels made of fiberglass-reinforced concrete mounted on a cylindrical base. Weighing only 2.8 tons, it can be disassembled and relocated.

The experimental neighborhood of Bolwoningen remains as a tourist curiosity, and holiday rentals are available.

Violent Love (live), Oingo Boingo (1983) Ska cover of Willie Dixon’s 1951 classic. From the Utoobage comments:
“Fun fact: In the early 80’s when they performed this song, during the sax solo Danny Elfman would grab a random person from the audience and take them backstage. When they returned Danny would be zipping up his fly and the other person’s hair would be all messed up (and yes he did this with male audience members too).”
