I'm working on compiling a list of bug-related songs and music for a fun Grumpy project, and have, with help from the Ecto mailing list and the Weirdomusicville facebook group, as well as some other varied sources, come up with a list of over 100 songs, and growing.

Just a few minutes ago, I was also directed to a nigh-canonical list of bug songs in rock at http://www.showmejoe.com/research/bugmusic.htm - I haven't yet integrated that stuff into my list.
