Lyrical Ode to Librarians

Just came across this from reading the Tame the Web blog. Local North Carolina indie rockers, SNMNMNM, have recorded a catchy little ditty in honor of a librarian that they know. The song is great because it's about the experience of a patron who is helped by a reference librarian who helps them find some pretty obscure information. Besides that, I've never heard call numbers sung so that they tug on my heart strings before.

What's also cool is that the band is inviting librarians to record themselves singing along to the song so that they can be included in a music video montage. AND there's a library challenge to find the books belonging to the call numbers highlighted in the song. First ten entrants win a CD.
