I know you don't care for 1970's music but in Jethro Tull's 'A Passion
Play' there is indeed a queue of people waiting to be born... at least
in the song lyrics:

I like Tull.  Being in a song lyric doesn't make it real.

I was fired from my unpaid position as a DJ at our university radio
station because of Jethro Tull. Someone complained about the lyrics in
one of the songs I played at lunch time.  My friends were Jethro Tull
fans and I/we figured their enjoyment of the music should override the
one complaint, so they would call and request it.  I obliged and got
fired.

That's kind of strange. What the heck kind of school was that? When I
was going to school, the campus radio station was wild and free. The
Vietnam war was going on which affected the programming but these days
the students are mostly calm and relaxed.
These days, KTUH is still going strong. The main difference is that the
DJ could be speaking Hawaiian and the music is more varied than the
usual college radio fare. My favorite programming is J-Pop.
