Friday music: Crash Test Dummies

Another great song about difference, bodily or otherwise:

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
by Crash Test Dummies

Once there was this kid who
Got into an accident and couldn't come to school
But when he finally came back
His hair had turned from black into bright white
He said that it was from when
The car had smashed so hard

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

Once there was this girl who
Wouldn't go and change with the girls in the change room
But when they finally made her
They saw birthmarks all over her body
She couldn't quite explain it
They'd always just been there

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

But both girl and boy were glad
'Cause one kid had it worse than that

'Cause then there was this boy whose
Parents made him come directly home right after school
And when they went to their church
They shook and lurched all over the church floor
He couldn't quite explain it
They'd always just gone there

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

Belated video description: The music video involves a grade school play in an old ornate theater with the Crash Test Dummies acting as the musical orchestra. Each of the stanzas is basically performed by the school children with varying reactions from parents and other adults in the audience. The girl with birthmarks is portrayed by a girl with large polka dots on her skin. The parents of the last child are disapproving and unhappy by the portrayal of their religious beliefs.
