Does anyone know of a song whose lyrics are the names of classic authors?
A few friends of mine told me about the nerdiest wedding experience. The bride and groom danced to a song in which the lyrics were only the names of classic authors. They said it sounded vaguely gothy, hence why I wanted to find it.
Does anyone have any idea what this song might be?

Van Morrison in Summertime in England mentioned the English opium smoking authors Wadsworth and Coleridge. Probably not what you are looking for.

It's interesting nonetheless. Thanks.
Hmm, they aren't all authors, but Hemingway, Pasternak and Kerouac all make an appearance. We Didn't Start the Fire by one of MY favorite atheists, Billy Joel.

I was just going to post this response but you beat me to it!
You might enjoy The Dead Poets. They are a group of 3 Poets/Musicians from Asheville. Their album is a decade old but lots of fun. Try iTunes or youtube.

Hey surrealhoax, I don't know that song. But there is a song by The Smiths where Morrissey sings about Keats and Yates, and Wilde. It's called "Cemetery Gates".
