"Chess Piece Face" by They Might Be Giants.

Tomo found Yomi and Chiyo intently studying a chessboard.

"Whatcha doin'?" Tomo asked.

Yomi and Chiyo slowly turned to Tomo, with pained expressions on their faces.

Tomo ignored their reactions. "Hey!" she cried. "Where are the horsies?"

"Knights, Tomo," said Yomi. "They've been captured."

Tomo grabbed one of the knights and rubbed it. "Guess what I'm doing?... I'm 'feeling a little hoarse'! Get it!? Get it!?... Aw, c'mon! That was funny!!"

Yomi sighed, and began to put away the chess pieces still in play.

"Miss Yomi?" asked Chiyo. "What's wrong?"

"I'm calling the game," Yomi said, "on account of stupidity."
