       Mark Mothersbaugh — Rugrats theme

That's Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo.

 

     Mark Mothersbaugh — Muzik for Insomniaks

It's the full album, so just listen from 0:00 to 01:30, from, 27:00 to 28:00, and select a few other spots for a few seconds to get the idea.

 

       They Might Be Giants — Clap Your Hands

Thanks to Mike for suggesting They Might Be Giants, Mark Mothersbaugh, and Esperanza Spalding.

 

       They Might Be Giants — Seven

From the 2009 album Here Come The 123s

 

       Esperanza Spalding — NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

Listen to the first selection, to 04:00. Then a bit from 09:30. Here is a brief article about her. Is this piece crossover? Was it crossover when Charlie Parker played with strings in the 1950's?
