If you want another earworm, I think they’re handily gotten with a listen to Sparks

. I got one! I went for help by cheating a look at Wikipedia wrt describing some of Spark’s lyrics, because the word bizarre was the word that for me kept coming up. I saw a Wiki editor added a quote that used the word “bizarre” plus other descriptors, all of which was a start. Sparks is not at all what I had assumed at first listen.

[WIKI EXCERPT.] Lyrically, the [Sparks] band’s style has been described as coming from “the school of Cole Porter, favouring caustic wit over trivial personal problems, ...achingly clever lyrics seesaw between superficial gloss, profound sentiment and the incomprehensibly bizarre.” Repeated lyrical motifs have become a distinct feature on recent albums...

Garbo Sings | Sparks
— from latest album, The Seduction of Ingmar Bergman
— soloist | Elin Klinga

[WIKIPEDIA EXCERPT.] Structurally, the album is not a collection of stand-alone songs, but a 64-minute piece of music composed of 24 plot-driven subsections. The music references the band’s own discography at various points, evoking echoes of their earlier records – “sly winks to fans, each with their favourite era of Sparks in mind”. The BBC review stated that the album was “steeped in the same arch humour and orchestral sweep that guided the likes of 2006’s Hello Young Lovers and last year’s Exotic Creatures of The Deep”, blending “jaunty songs and rib-tickling tangents with a coherent narrative”.
