Favorite song by a band or artist about another band or artist. Mine is a simple choice: "If I Was A Mekon" by Too Much Joy.
"If I was a Mekon/I'd drink pints of beer/If I was a Mekon/And talk about Adorno."

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.
