12 Days of Christmas by Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. Each of the 12 days is performed in both a different key and a different time signature. For the time signatures, the number of beats per measure matches the number of the day of Christmas, ie, 11th day of Christmas = 11 beats per measure for that verse.

It was, but it was also on the cover of Van Halen I in 1978. The difference between the two album covers is that on VH1, it has the words "Van Halen" right across the VH; and on VH2, the words are above the VH. On his t-shirt, it looks like the logo has the words across the VH, so it's more like the VH1 album cover.

Because kids are weird about stuff, and they have stupid, arbitrary rules that they enforce. In my middle school and high school, there were the kids who would make fun of you if you wore your new concert t-shirt to school the day after the show. It was considered nerdy and you were considered to be a poser.

Yes, it was released in the late 70's in the US, too. However, I was only about 6 years old at the time, and I did not hear the album until about 10 years later, when my older brother brought home a copy for us to listen to.
