Songs about completely unique topics.

iamstop

Songs about something that, to your knowledge, there is no other songs about.

I encourage discussion and rebuttals in this thread.

I'll start. This is the only song I know of about picking your nose. I'm pretty sure I've heard other lyrics about nose picking, but this is the only song dedicated to the uncouth act.
