Cover art for The History of Everything lyrics by Barenaked Ladies

Errrr, yeah, I'm surprised this doesn't have more comments. Its essentially a very quick run down of the origins of the universe, from the initial explosion of a singular point into every element and galaxy, through to the Earth's formation, cooling, production of oxygen, and the advent of life and humans. The last part is a little jab at how silly humans are for being so caught up in trying to make sense of it all, when its simultaneously simple and unfathomably complicated. There's a great irony in creating such a short, simple (and fast!) song to explain everything that exists and why. I luuuurve it.
