The Origin of Love
So, this song (excellent as it is) is also a faithful retelling of Aristophanes' speech in Plato's Symposium. Now, I'm not much of a believer in Zeus, and Aristophanes spouts a fair bit of anti-woman rhetoric, but I still find this story kind of enchanting, all by itself, and the video's illustration of it is really lovely.
It helps that the song's so damn catchy.
