For comedy, Better Midler's Otto Titsling tells an urban legend about how the bra was invented and it's freaking hilarious, with great singing.
If you want something more powerful but emotional, Linkin Park's album, 1000 Suns, if you listen to it, in order, tells the horror of the atomic bomb in a way that feels like your just listening to awesome rock music. Follow that up with the song Mike Shinoda; the rapper/musican/writer from Linkin Park; made called Kenji and it paints a dark story about how his own family was locked inside US concentration camps, during WWII, just because they were Japanese. Family/Friends died in that camp... and those that got out found their houses destroyed and graffitied by racists. It's really powerful and shows a side of the band that most people don't know.
