I appreciate all the suggestions. Some of this is way too out there for them, but I’m listening to everything, so keep it coming!
So you want stuff that's out there. Why didn't you say so in the first place?

Tin Huey - Puppet Wipes


But if you ask my opinion, I would go with more electronic music. But hey, before you play these songs threaten them with detention if they don't like them, that should thwart any complaints from the peanut gallery.
