Song stuck in my head

[astra_nomer]

I've got this song stuck in my head from Here Come the ABC's by They Might Be Giants. It's called "The Alphabet of Nations," and this line in particular keeps coming up:

Turkey Uruguay Vietnam West Xylophone Yemen Zimbabwe.

No, actually I'm pretty sure they made it up. When you watch the DVD, it shows a world map and it marks each of the countries they name in the song. When "West Xylophone" comes up, it shows a picture of a xylophone. I think it's really funny, actually.

Tell that to the West Xylophone Tourism Board (http://www.westxylophone.com/)! :-)
