Hard to pick one funny song of the many out there, but I’ll post The Prettiots - Boys (I Dated in High School). It breaks some rules about how lyrics should rhyme, but it just makes it funnier to me.
Political Science, by Randy Newman
“Boom goes London, boom Paree. More room for you and more room for me. . .”
“30,000 Pounds of Bananas” by Harry Chapin
“HARRY, IT SUCKS!!!”
Not too many songs make me laugh, other than maybe when I hear them the first time and there’s a catch in them.

because years ago when my son was about 5, we were out driving and got caught in a storm. It had come up quickly, the rain was coming down hard, we could barely see. The manhole covers in the parking lot were bouncing up on little geysers of water.
My son was terrified.
HotD came on the radio and I said, listen to this, they are saying a bad word. I started singing along to the son of a bitch part and got him singing and giggling because he was saying a Bad Word. Nothing like being allowed to be a little naughty to take his mind off the storm. For months afterwards every time the song came on the radio he’d giggle a little and say there’s the song with the bad word.
Strange little mommy/son bonding moment.
Biz Markie’s “Just a Friend.”
eBay - Weird Al. When it first came out I was heavily into eBay and even went to their convention in Orlando (eBay Live) where Weird Al lip-synched it live. It was still fun.
I remember roller skating to this in junior high, vigorously shaking my head in agreement while laughing derisively. Now days, it cracks me up at how angsty I could be at 12. Thanks, J. Geils. I still think that “love stinks.” Sometimes.
Tom Lehrer: The Vatican Rag.
Negativland: “Drink It Up”

I’ll be glad when this six month 30-day challenge is done!
The cover of the Britney Spears song Toxic by the Norwegian band Trollfest.
Great song, but its video made it my favorite “Weird” Al song.
If you enjoy drinking boilermakers, you will love this band.
Actually the whole fucking album is great.
excellent, thoughtful lyrics, particularly in the chorus.
Weird Al with Eat it
Bob Rivers with Cat in the Kettle
Truckers - Corky and the Juice Pigs (also known for “I’m the Only Gay Eskimo”)
I Hate People - Willio & Phillio
Another Irish Drinking Song - Da Vinci’s Notebook
Brad Paisley’s Online. The line at 1:40 always makes me laugh! “Even on a slow day, I can have a three-way … chat.”
I had actually forgotten about them, thank you for reminding me they existed.
I couldn’t think of a song that made me laugh, then I got Hasil Adkins’ No More Hot Dogs stuck in my head.
Stan Rogers - The Woodbridge Dog Disaster (live)
