Tim Minchin
Thank you God (has an intro story you must listen to the first time you hear it)
Confessions (probably my number one because it describes me perfectly)
Star Wars: Cocktails In The Cantina is a parody album, that re-interprets all the SW music as Lounge Music, circa 1963.
And, while funny, is really fun, too!
How could I forget Janis Joplin’s Mercedes-Benz? ![]()
While I expected Weird Al to take the cake in this thread without question, not a single person mentioned Garfunkel and Oates!? I’m going to have to rectify that (even though my vote goes to The Saga Begins by Weird Al. Song’s better than both McLean’s original and Episode 1 combined.)
Garfunkel and Oates - I Would Never Have Sex With You
Also, one half of Garfunkel and Oates has a pretty hilarious solo song:
Another vote for The Saga Begins.
We read the entire Ring in 10th grade English, so I’m very fond of this. I have two of her other CDs also, and a video. Best of all, I got to see her live in Princeton. Near the end of her life she lived across the Delaware fairly close, and came to McCarter.
She did a verion of Verdi’s Nabucco which was very funny though I know nothing about the opera.
My favorite line is her observation that every woman who Siegried ever met was an aunt.
That whole album was pretty good. Kathy O’Connell used to play it on a kids show in Philadelphia - and warned parents in the newsletter that if they wanted to get it for their kids, they probably should get it on Dr. Demento, not the Barnes & Barnes album.
Yeah.
I knew Raj’s ex was part of a duo, but didn’t know her partner had been on The Big Bang Theory as well (as the undergrad with a crush on Sheldon).
another great G&O song is
Pregnant Women are Smug
His wife, Mrs. Fricka Wotan.
[laughter]
That’s her name.
As a genuine Finn from da UP, I’ve always been partial to Da Yoopers.. The Second Week of Deer Camp has always been a fave.
I’ve always been partial to Rusty Chevrolet.
These are all great…I feel like I’m back listening to Dr. Demento!! Thanks!
This year my favorite holiday song is Jon Lajoie’s Merry Christmas Exclamation Point. He really nails it!
I celebrate Spinal Tap’s entire catalog
Good heavens - how could I possibly have forgotten “The Welly Boot Song,” by Billy Connolly?
There’s a Great White Way
Where the White is Gray
And the Great is only Okay
And the stars we toast
Give themselves a roast.
Forbidden Broadway.
Hard to pick a favorite, but I love the quartet of Ten Years More
Ten years more is understating all the years we have ahead.
Chances are we’ll still be running when most people here are dead.
Once a piece of art, now a piece of crap.
Just what Broadway needs another tourist trap.
Cross it off the list, get back on the van.
Only Broadway show with its own pension plan.
