I've been messing 'round with some old stuff I haven't heard in a while, and Great White's "Wasted Rock Ranger" came on, and this song makes me laugh my butt off, I haven't heard it in ages, and it makes me remember fun times with my buddies singing along to it.

Another song that will make me grin like a mule eating briars is Coe's "You Never Even Called Me By My Name"

The one that did the most was in the South Park movie, but FT rules won't allow me to extend any further...
Jewish rap was also hilarious as was Pretty Fly for a rabbi by Weird Al Jankovic.

"Saskatchewan River Pirate" by the Arrogant Worms - actually just about anything by the Worms.

Many System of a Down songs crack me up. Not because the songs themselves are funny but because they're voices are!!
Loads of random lines crack me up because of the way they're sung!!

The song which most of all brings a smile to my face is the late, great Elvis Presley singing his parody of 'Are you lonesome tonight'. At the line which should go "Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there" he sings instead "Do your gaze at your bald head and wish you had hair", and immediately cracks up with laughter. For the rest of the song, he appears to try to get back to the original lyrics, but can't control his laughter, which is truly infectious.
It's just brilliant!

'Ebay' and 'A Complicated Song' by Weird Al Yankovic both made me laugh a lot the first time I heard them. A song which probably isn't supposed to be funny is 'Where Do You Go To my Lovely' by Peter Sarstedt. It's something to do with the 'Just for fun, for a laugh, a-ha-ha-ha' bit. He doesn't sound in the least bit amused and for some reason it's funny.

Here are some of mine:
"Banned from Argo" - Leslie Fish - A hilarious Star Trek filk song. Warning! Do not sing around anyone who you might get offended and slap you! (It's kinda off-color)
"With a Little Bit of Luck" - My Fair Lady by Lerner and Loewe - An interesting outlook on life, and unfortunately kinda like my own.
"Poisoning Pigeons in the Park" - Tom Lehrer - 'Nuff Said.
"Lobachevski" - Tom Lehrer - Should be titled "How to get through college". Just Kidding.

Oh my God. Senior year my English teacher played this song for the class. No, I don't know why. But he was really into it. Like, really into it. Funny song, though.

Pretty much any song by Flight of the Conchords. (The "fourth greatest folk band from Australia") Especially "Bowie" and "Business Time". Hee! Just thinking of them is cracking me up.

I haven't heard that song in years! It makes me laugh every time I hear it.

I love Arlo Guthrie, "The Pause of Mr. Claus" always makes me giggle and so does "Alice's Restaurant", of course.

As evil as it may sound "Come Pick me up" by Ryan Adams always makes me laugh. I don't know why since it's probably not meant for that.

Wow, I haven't heard a single one of any of the songs mentioned.

I blame me being really young or you guys all being elderly.

Def. going to be checking some out though, thanks!
