Songs that crack you up.

“Hole in My Shoe” by Neil from The Young Ones (actor Nigel Planer)

“I Like Chinese” by Eric Idle

OK, just everything on the Monty Python albums, then.

The Scotsman- I have no idea who sings it, its usually on napster under Dr. Demento.

She Thinks You’re Ugly- by Three dead trolls in a baggie.

Yeah, the Monty Python songs are always great, like the “Knights of the Round Table” song from Holy Grail or the “Penis Song” (the “Not the Noel Coward Song”).

Others I find amusing:

“Star Wars Cantina”, by Mark J. Davis, sung to the tune of “Copa Cabana”

“Punk Rock Girl” by the Dead Milkmen - I have a great time singing along

“Merry Christmas (I Don’t Want to Fight Tonight)” by The Ramones - again, fun to sing along to

“I Lost on Jeopardy” and “The Saga Begins” by Weird Al. I have a hard time singing the normal lyrics to "American Pie now - thanks, Al!

“88 Lines About 44 Women” by Nails (and, of course, “88 Lines About 42 Presidents” by the Brunching Shuttlecocks)

“Tarzan Boy” by Baltimora - in addition to being one of my favourite songs, it also conjures to mind images of a computer-generated bottle of Cool Mint Listerine swinging from vine to vine through the jungle.

Los Zapatos de Manacho by El Gran Combo.

The Garry Shandling Show theme song. His first show. It starts like this:
“This is the theme to Garry’s show, the theme to Garry’s show. . .”
I’ve been searching on Napster for it, but no luck yet.

If you like Python’s songs, you owe to to yourself to listen to the Bonzo Dog Band. Same songwriter (Neil Innes).

A lot of stuff already mentioned.

Add the 3 great Dr. Hook songs.

*On the Cover of the Rolling Stone
Millionaire
Everybodies making it big (but me)

I second “Carrot Juice is Murder” and “Mounted Animal Nature Trail” (especially the live version…“Northern Ontario is 80 billion kilometres wide, and only fourteen people live there, all of whom are named Frank–even the girl”).

To continue with the Arrogant Worms theme: “Malcolm” It’s sick. I know. But “Malcolm solves his problems with a chain saw / And he never has the same problem twice” never fails to make me laugh.

Another one currently queued up is “Medical Love Song” by bits of Monty Python.

“in you again” by Frank Zappa.

Any songs by boy bands. all of the lyrics are so humourous

I couldn’t stop laughing at a couple a friend of mine played for me.

Detatchable Penis I have no idea who sings this, but it’s hilarious. Search for it on napster.

Entopy by McHawking. Check it out on http://www.mchawking.com I haven’t listened to his others because of my infernally slow internet connection.

Aaaarrrgggh. The other message board I’m on lets us edit our messages. Needless to say, I don’t use the preview button.

“Entopy” is supposed to be “Entropy”

Detatchable Penis I heard was done by a BAND called Detathable Penis, but I could be wrong.

I ALWAYS get a kick out of The Bloodhound Gang…

Sweat baby sweat baby
sex is a Texas drought
You and me do the kind of things that only Prince would sing about
So put your hands down my pants and I be you’ll feel nuts
Yes I’m Siskel
Yes I’m Ebert
and you’re getting two thumbs up

Heh heh heh :smiley:

“Detachable Penis” is performed by King Missile, who also did “Jesus Was Way Cool”, “Gay/Not Gay”, “Martin Scorcese” (my personal favorite) “Take Stuff From Work”, etc. They’re a really funny band, so check them out.

The Nesbitts Lime Soda song by Negativland.

The Rodeo Song by David Allan Coe.

“Prison Bitch”
go get it off of Napster right now…Hilarious.

“The hardest part of breakin up(is getting back your stuff” by 2gether, the MTV made fake boy band.

“I’d call you up girl, but you took my phone. You borrow my stuff everytime I turn my back, I can’t believe I went out with a kleptomaniac…You took my sweats, my hat, I can’t my cat” etc.

heehee

The South Park songs.

A LOT of Monty Python songs.

A normal song – “Praying for Daylight” by Rascal Flatts, just because of one line – “Doing the only thing that gets me through the night since you’ve been gone” Once I was out with my friends, we made a masturbation comment about that line, and ever since then I can’t hear it without laughing.

Grandma got run over by a reindeer by the Irish Rovers.

Can’t believe no one mentioned Warren Zevon!

Poor, Poor, Pitiful Me
Gorilla, You’re a Desperado.
Mr. Bad Example
I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead
Looking for the Next Best Thing
Detox Mansion
Things To Do in Denver When You’re Dead
Excitable Boy
Werewolves of London
Down in the Mall

I could go on and on…

Most of the Doug songs by Andrew Ratchin
“Sign My Snarling Doggie” by The Bobs
“July 13th, 1985” and “When the Beatles Hit America” by John Wesley Harding
“Bulbous Bouffant” by the Vestibules
Damn near everything by Tom Lehrer

and I second the votes for the Bonzo Dog Band (what little I’ve heard) and Spike Jones.

Didn’t feel like typing the full title?

I don’t know if the Irish Rovers have covered it, but the version I’ve heard is by Elmo & Patsy.

Political Science, by Randy Newman.

Jollity Farm and The Sound of Music, by The Bonzo DooDah Dog Band. (The Sound of Music medley is just that: every TSOM song sung simultaneously. It sounds like a train wreck.)

Lonesome Cowboy Burt, by The Mothers of Invention.

One morning while driving to work, I heard a supposed Japanese Elvis impersonator, “Hounddog Fujimoto,” on the radio singing All Shook Up. Damn near drove off the bridge when I heard that!
