Since nobody else has mentioned it, I have to put in a word for one of Firesign Theatre’s most obscure albums, [Fighting Clowns](http://www.comedyhome.com/shopping/index.cfm?fa=shoppingItem&webItemID=1404). It’s an entire album of songs, mostly 70s and 80s political humor. ---

I’m amazed at how many people can listen to Meatloaf’s ‘Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad’ and keep a straight face. That song HAS to be a joke! (paraphrase of lyrics) “I don’t love you but I like you, babe, and I’ll even sleep with you. Hey. Two out of three, honey. That ain’t bad…” I find this hysterical. ---

They’re short, but Monty Pythons’ The Legend of Brave Sir Robin (from \*Monty Python and the Holy Grail) and the Philosophers’ Drinking Song (don’t know where they included it) are just great IMHO. ---

Some right wing patriot might hate me for this, but “Ballad of the Green Berets” makes me crack up! It is just so over the top with the hyper militaristic thing! I can just imagine all the old conservatives in 1966 (or whenever it came out) listening to this and swearing about all the damned commie pinko hippies! In all fairness, some of the “left wing” protest songs were just as hokey…“Eve of Destruction” being one that comes to mind. ---

_The Earl of Bayswater_, a traditional rugby song. The words are unutterably filthy, but absolutely hilarious, so I’ll only post one line here: **They hired a coal miner To find her vagina…** Do a Google search on the title if you’re interested in the rest. By the way, _Human Slaves to an Insect Nation_ is by the really seriously brilliant musical genius and stand-up comedian [Bill Bailey](http://www.billbailey.co.uk). ---

I’ve just remembered “Santa Claus” by Aussie comedian Kevin Bloody Wilson. He’s describing the magical moment of creeping downstairs on Christmas morning to watch his little kids unwrapping their presents when they don’t know there’s anyone watching them. His five year-old son finishes unwrapping all his presents, then says: **Santa Claus you c\_nt! Where’s my f\_cking bike? I’ve unwrapped all the other junk, There’s nothing here I like. I wrote a f\_cking letter, I came to see you twice! You worn-out geriatric fart You forgot my f\_cking bike!** (I have a tawdry sense of humour.) ---

I totally forgot about The Man Song! That was so great! Oh the memories… I always thought “Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer” was pretty funny. Especially the part about how her silvery blue hair matched the candles, or something along that line. I know its kinda for little kids but it’s still funny. ---
