Suddenly thought this hasn't been covered.

Couple of favorites of mine from the UK:

Max,

Victoria Wood is a new one for me. She is delightful. Thanks for the links.

[Sky Hits]

The funnier version of this great Cole Porter song is Louis Armstrong's, but the lyric is the thing.

[kaiser SET say]

She pretty funny Max, I need some of those flame retardent PJ bottoms in case of a house fire[]

When I was just a kid, I was a sucker for funny songs, The Monster Mash, Gitarzan, They're coming to take me away A-ha, anything by Ray Stevens, Roger Miller or Allen Sherman. Not in the same group but always done with a bit of humor was all the Ringo songs, I just love 'em!

Thanx, Russ

I have to say Ray Stevens "The day the Squirrel went Berzerk" is an all time classic.

How about The Notorius Cherry Bombs, featuring Vince Gill "It's hard to kiss the lips at night That chew your A.S.S. out all day long"

And the ever famous Cletus T. Judd's " One Jack Off"

[jt1stcav]

Any song by Spike Jones and the City Slickers during the '40s...my dad's got several albums stashed away that were remastered in the '70s. Gotta dig 'em out of the closet and give 'em a listen again. They cracked me up as a kid!

Hello muddah, hello faddah

Here I am at Camp Granada

Camp is very entertaining

And they say we'll have some fun if it stops raining.

I went hiking with Joe Spivy

He developed poison ivy

You remember Leonard Skinner

He got ptomaine poisoning last night after dinner.

All the counselors hate the waiters

And the lake has alligators

And the head coach wants no sissies

So he reads to us from something called Ulysses.

How I don't want this should scare ya

But my bunkmate has malaria

You remember Jeffrey Hardy

They're about to organize a searching party.

Take me home, oh muddah, faddah

Take me home, I hate Granada

Don't leave me out in the forest where

I might get eaten by a bear.

Take me home I promise I will not make noise

Or mess the house with other boys.

Oh please don't make me stay

I've been here one whole day.

Dearest faddah, darling muddah,

How's my precious little bruddah

Let me come home, if you miss me

I would even let Aunt Bertha hug and kiss me.

Wait a minute, it's stopped hailing.

Guys are swimming, guys are sailing

Playing baseball, gee that's better

Muddah, faddah kindly disregard this letter.

"Humerous" music: a type that stimulates the funny bone (maybe the ulna? or is it the radius?).

Don't you find that humorous?

[russ69]

It's the King's English, dude!

Thanx, Russ

[JJkizak]

The Guy and Gal singers that purposely sing off key and hit wrong notes on the piano. Forgot their names.

Lee Scratch Perry and Guinness

This is all the commercials and clips togther and the quality isn't as good but if you can understand him it is very funny. It cracks me up.

How about some music to get committed by:

Remember when you ran away and I got on my knees and begged you not to leave because I'd go berserk?

Well, you left me anyhow and then the days got worse and worse and now you see I've gone completely out of my mind.



And They're coming to take me away Ha Ha

They're coming to take me away ho ho he he ha ha

to the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time, and I'll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats

and they're coming to take me away ha ha



You thought it was a joke and so you laughed, you laughed when I had
said that losing you would make me flip my lid, right? You know you
laughed, I heard you laugh, you laughed, you laughed and laughed and
then you left, but now you know I'm utterly mad.



And they're coming to take me away Ha Ha

They're coming to take me away ho ho he he ha ha

To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds and basket
weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes

They're coming to take me away ha ha...



I cooked your food, I cleaned your house, and this is how you paid me
back for all my kind unselfish loving deeds. Huh? Well you just wait
they'll find you yet, and when they do they'll put you in the ASPCA you
mangy mutt.



And They're coming to take me away Ha Ha

They're coming to take me away ho ho he he ha ha

To the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time and I'll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats

They're coming to take me away Ha Ha

To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds and basket
weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes

They're coming to take me away Ha Ha Ha



Your home the one the bank foreclosed, You cried to me Monogamy is the
way we both must live or you'll feel hurt. But, I see, I see there's
someone new, your anxious poly-pure-bred coat was even gone at our
place while I paid the rent, thanks!



And They're coming to take me away Ha Ha

They're coming to take me away ho ho he he ha ha

To the loony bin with all you can eat perscription drugs like torizine, and lithium, and electric shock and insulin

They're coming to take me away Ha Ha

A co-worker brought up the song "Shaddap You Face" the other day and he was surprised I knew it. Man, I hadn't heard that song in years!
