Just picked up Kanye West's (producer for artists such as Alicia Keys) album and love this song called "through the wire" (sample) . The story behind the song is as interesting as the song itself - Kanye got into a car accident that could have easily killed him.. He wrote and recorded the song while he was recovering from having a shattered jaw - "Through the Wires" refers to the fact that his jaws were wired shut during the entire song.. It's funny and kinda touching in a weird way....

If you're being sarcastic it's actually a very funny song.. The guy was near death and he wrote a song that's not sad but full of wit.. Here's some lyrics..
When the doctor told me I had a um.. I was goin to have a plate on my chin
I said dawg don't you think, didn't you realize I'll never make it on the plane now
Its bad enough I got all this jewelry on
