My favorite song about punctuation is currently Oxford Comma, by Vampire Weekend, a group that I know about because the lead singer, Ezra Koenig, took a Melville seminar I taught a couple of years ago and sent out an all-points bulletin this summer about his band's shows in Brooklyn. Anyway, it's very catchy, and in the past few months it's migrated into my high-frequency playlist. According to the band's website, it'll be on an EP that comes out next month.
