Julie Brown has some good ones:
Homecoming Queen’s Got a Gun
'Cause I’m a Blonde
Garfunkel and Oates also have some interesting ones:
The Loophole (aka F*** Me in the Ass Because I Love Jesus)
29/31
No, no, no…Sandler’s best song was Lunch Lady Land.
Not sure how this works on mainstream American audiences.
Allan Sherman wrote some great songs in addition to his parodies. One of my favorites is Go To Sleep Paul Revere
Does Tenacious D count? Jack Black is described as a comedian and musician?
If so Tribute is an all time favourite tune of mine.
Boogie In Your Butt is my fav Eddie Murphy song. Put some dust in your butt. Put a dinosaur bone in your butt.
Asshole is my all time favorite comedian song, though.
Adam Sandler did a nice job with Warren Zevon’s Werewolves of London.
The best music video of all time has got to be Bohemian Rhapsody by the Muppets. (They’re comedians, right?)
“and a beer!”
I listened to my brother’s Allan Sherman records all the time in the 1960’s. Whether parodies or originals, I learned a lot of history from his songs. “You Went the Wrong Way Old King Louie” was my introduction to the French Revolution. Of course “Hello Muddah Hello Fadduh” is unbeatable. The parodies were also great ways to learn some classical music. When I hear “Dance of the Hours” now I think of summer camp, not dancing hippos.

Aw, c’mon, we can’t have Peter Sellers on the list without also having the Ying Tong Song:
[/quote]Will pay out on those and throw in a duet with Sophia Loren"Goodness Gracious Me" which was a top 5 UK single in 1960.
