You should post some videos of your bass playing Shane. I reckon that I will post one of my songs one of these days.

I loves me some They Might Be Giants. Mmmm...whimsy.
Yes, I would highly encourage you to check out They Might Be Giants. They have recently done a series of kid-friendly albums that are also great for adults. They have a history of crafting songs that are educational in nature while remaining very catchy and fun.
One of my favorite songs from their album Here Comes Science is "Put It To The Test". It explains the concept of falsifiability when asserting a statement--there can't be many songs that attempt such a thing. Listen along on YouTube:

If there's a question bothering your brain That you think you know how to explain You need a test Yeah, think up a test
If it's possible to prove it wrong You're going to want to know before too long You'll need a test
If somebody says they figured it out And they're leaving any room for doubt Come up with a test Yeah, you need a test
Are you sure that that thing is true? Or did someone just tell it to you? Come up with a test
Test it out Find a way to show what would happen If you were incorrect (Test it out) A fact is just a fantasy Unless it can be checked Make a test Test it out
If you want to know if it's the truth Then, my friend, you are going to need proof Come up with a test Yeah, you need a test
Don't believe it 'cause they say it's so If it's not true, you have a right to know Put it to the test (put it to the test) Yeah, test it out (put it to the test) Yeah, put it to the test (put it to the test) Put it to the test (put it to the test)
