If you are a Lehrer fan you have an idea as to how these tunes apply.  I would like to do an outline with the principal players being high school nerds. Set in the 1990's they pound away at their Apples in the basement of the female cast member.  Here are just a few songs they, with the help of a member's guitar, sing.

Shit I have to remember the names of all the elecments for tomorrow" - guess which song!

"I have to go out on Christmas eve and buy presents" -Chrismas time is here by golly

The nerds go out to a school dance - masochism  tango

The need a boost - the coke isn't working - Old Dope Peddler
