Einstein on the Beach (For an Eggman)

"Einstein on the Beach (For an Eggman)" is a song by American rock band Counting Crows from the compilation album DGC Rarities Vol. 1. The title of the song was inspired by the Philip Glass opera Einstein on the Beach. The song became the band's first number-one song on the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart, beating their previous highest-charting single, "Mr. Jones", which reached number two. Although the song charted only in the United States, it ranked at number 47 on the Australian Triple J Hottest 100 for 1994, one position above "Mr. Jones". The song was later included on Counting Crows' best-of compilation, Films About Ghosts (The Best Of...), in 2003.
