"Boring" Songs

Nothing to see here. Just your average, everyday, ho-hum collection of "Boring" songs. Well, songs with the word "Boring" in the title, at least. Same difference. Incidentally, many of the songs, and their accompanying videos, are anything but boring. The irony... If you want to hear and see them, go right ahead and do so. If you don't, no biggie.

Periodic Table Of The Elements Songs

No, this is not a comprehensive collection consisting of songs featuring the titles of each and every element in the periodic table. That would be crazypants and also pert-near impossible.
