The Squirrel Nut Zippers

I just found the album, "The Inevitable Squirrel Nut Zippers," in my dad's CD collection and gave it a spin. They were really pretty awesome, a 90s band that fused elements of Jazz with a "pseudo-mariachi-gypsy sound," as my friend described it. The lyrics are often pretty hilarious and the songs are a blast to listen to.

Here are two of their songs on youtube. A word of caution: They're kind of disturbing and awesome at the same time.
