Just an initial while-the-dog-is-outside-peeing thought:

Let's have a Rant for Auntie,
We can put it in a song,
Lots of things bother Auntie,
She's been bothered way too long;
We can rant about the government
And how it's screwed our lives,
And how we can't smoke cigarettes
And no one else can drive;
The economy's in shambles,
They won't fix it 'cause they can't--
Let's sing a Rant for Auntie
'Cause Auntie needs a Rant!

Ragtime, I think (that's just bluegrass music with a calliope). I'm sure there can be more...
