Songs that make you laugh

Ok, folks, what are in your opinion the most funny songs?
I have two cassettes and a bunch of mp3s with a "Laugh again" -Mix so my fave songs from that collection are:

Genesis - Whodunnit (I wish more ol' Proggies would have got the joke and stop complaining about it, I think I read somewhere it was meant as a Punk Parody)
My Morning Jacket - Into the woods
Faith No More - Schützenfest (when english spoken folks try german...hillarious)
Kevin Ayers - Oh what a dream (I luv that "oink, scratch, bingbing"-beat)
Pink Floyd - Bike (especially that thundering clusters after every chorus)
Sepultura - the hidden track from Chaos AD, bandmembers doing fake laughs and one of them starts to laugh REAL, it's infectious!!
Walt Disney - Symphony Hour (some old classical overture by Verdi or something played with kid's trumpets, marimbas, bottles and all kind of hillarious stuff)
Elbow - One thing (Guy sounds even with Chipmunkvoice sexy!!)
D 12 - My band, especially with videoclip

Ok, now it's your turn...

execution commentary - muse

A lot of the "Crash Test Dummies" lyrics are hilarious! i.e.:

Running into you like this without a warning,
Is like catching a sniff of Tequila in the morning.
But I'll try, try to keep my food down..."

or another one:

How does a duck know, what direction south is?
and how to tell his wife from all the other ducks?"


Quite brilliant, I think! and always make me laugh...

Evil Twin - Magnetic Fields
Absolute Gravity - Snow Patrol
16 Military wives - Decemberists

I'm with you on WhoDunnit, TamedLamia What a wonderful little piece of noise. And whaddya know, I was also gonna say D12- My Band, hilarious XD

This Beck song always amuses me.

Nitemare Hippy Girl

She took me off my guard with disappointment
I got sucked inside of her apartment
Shes got dried-up flowers, flaky skin
A beaded necklace and a bottle of gin

Shes a nightmare hippy girl
With her skinny fingers fondlin my world
Shes a whimsical, tragical beauty
Self-conscious and a little bit moody

Its a new age let-down in my face
Shes so spaced out and there aint no space
Shes got marijuana on the bathroom tile
Im caught in a vortex, shes changin my style

Shes a nightmare hippy girl
With her skinny fingers fondlin my world
Shes a whimsical, tragical beauty
Uptight and a little bit snooty

... oh, oh, oh ...

Shes a magical, sparklin tease
Shes a rainbow chokin the breeze
Yo, shes bustin out onto the scene
With nightmare bogus poetry
Shes a melted avocado on the shelf
Shes the science of herself
Shes spazzing out on a cosmic level
And shes meditating with the devil
Shes cooking salad for breakfast
Shes got tofu the size of texas
Shes a witness to her own glory
Shes a never-ending story
Shes a frolicking depression
Shes a self-inflicted obsession
Shes got a thousand lonely husbands
Shes playin footsie in another dimension
Shes a goddess milking her time for all that its worth

and of course, loser by beck, topaz...

Definitely Loser as well.

I just love Beck.

Isn't that the stompie with the "Naaa naaa nananana naaa naaa" ?
Might fit better in another section: Favorite Stompies...

Ahh, TamedLamia, the wonders of Who Dunnit, eh? I think of those boring old Genesis fans as a bit like Roger Waters - no sense of humour and an inclination to take it all that little bit too seriously. Who Dunnit is indeed a punk parody and it's never failed to raise a smile. I think their funniest song, though, is Harold The Barrel.

Pink Floyd - Bike

What I've seen of Flight Of The Conchords is absolutely hilarious but unfortunately I don't know the titles. Must bone up on them.

Bill Bailey did a great performance of Insect Nation on a comedy show on BBC1 many many years ago.

Frank SInatra's parody of River Stay Away From My Door is darned funny, and risque too - "stay away, stay away, stay away you dirty ol' mother you" (gasp)

Yea, and strange enough, old Roger showed a lot humor with "Several species of small furry animals gathered together in a cave and grooving with a pict"
And lot of Floyd-Fans took "Seamus" way too serious, I love also the "live" version "Mademoiselle Nobbs" where you can see how much fun they can have...
And there was, like you've noticed with Harold the Barrel, early Genesis had humor too.

I love Space.
In number 69, there lives a transvestite
He's a man by day but a woman at night
In 999, they make a living by crime
The house is always empty, cos they're all doing time
In 666, there lives a Mr Miller
He's the local vicar and a serial Killer
Neighbourhood

(Only just seen this thread )

Syd Barrett - Effervescing Elephant
Wonderful!

Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band - Jollity Farm
(in fact most things by the Bonzos )

The Mighty Boosh Love Games
(Ditto - anything by the Boosh!)

The Flight of the Conchords are definitely something I mean to catch up on some day...

I'm sure there are lots more - I'll probably be back

EELS - I Like Birds

This makes me laugh every time.

Nice one

So I've heard a lot about Eels on here recently, why haven't I heard them before? What's the best place (album) to start putting this right?

They're all excellent but I'd recomend Beautiful Freak, the first album. It has the (relative) hit single 'Novocaine for the Soul', 'Susan's House', and if you are a fan of Shrek, the original 'My Beloved Monster and Me'.

Daisies of the Galaxy is superb. There's not a bad song on it and contains the wonderful 'I LIke Birds' as posted above. Either of those two are ideal places to start.

Electro-Shock Blues is also brilliant but a much darker album. It was written and recorded around the time of his mother's death and his sister's suicide.

Souljacker and Shootenanny are, in comparison, much more basic, stripped down works but no less excellent for that.

The last studio album, 'Blinking Lights and Other Revelations' is a superb double, probably his most autobiographical yet and has much to recomend it with all E's trademarks in place.

E (Mark Oliver Everett) is a superb lyricist (almost as good as Guy in my book) with a real knack for a superb hook and great musical arrangements.

[OT]
Ta Hotblack. I'll check some of these out & let you know - *ahem* in the Eels thread I've just seen in the "other Bands" section - sorry folks.

Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast -

'Marmalade, I like marmalade'

I'm enjoying the reference to all those early Floyd songs. That line makes me think Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast could segue into the old single "Toast" (points for anyone who can remind me who it was by - see Ladies of a Certain Age thread )

Stuart by Dead Milkmen - CLASSIC! Visit this link for a brief summary and then press the blue play button to experience the insanity: http://www.cholling.org/atimelesswavelength/?p=213

"Toast! ...I'll have toast! A little bit of toast!"

...that Toast?

It was by Streetband, featuring Paul Young on vocals, pre Q-Tips and awful solo career.
