I clicked the link where you wrote "I have no idea what's going on here" in the Particles.
I'm happy to be of service!
The song, except maybe for the first parts in German, is from a Swedish TV program for children.
Lasse Åberg, a prominent artist and B actor with a Mickey Mouse fixation, was asked to do a winter holiday morning show 1976. It featured him as Trazan ("trasa" in Swedish means rag) and Klasse Möllberg as Banarne, a monkey. It got immensely popular, and even had 100% coverage, something that has never happened before or again.
When the show was up for reruns, it was discovered that the tapes had been overwritten. New episodes were recorded, and the Electric Banana Band was added to the cast.
I'm a few years too young for the mass hysteria, but can still sing their song about how the Phantom should be very warm in his pyjama, and that he should do better in a skirt...
I have said this before, in many fora, and as the US election approaches, I have a feeling I will say it again:

See the Election Authority's excellent page in English.

Oh, yes, please do! That would be lovely to read, as a book, as a web page or as an article anywhere.
My brother, who's a font freak, used to tell me all about the evils of Helvetica. Since the standard font in the small print of official documents is Helvetica, and it's also used on road signs and in the subway, I've started to understand what he means. Above all, the lack of distinction between "a" and "o" is bothersome.
