Looking through a book I bought back in '82, called "The rock lists album", I have come across a listing of some of the funniest song titles I have seen. Incidentally, they are all C&W songs 1. Drop kick me Jesus (through the goalposts of life). by Bobby Bare 2. Drinkin' to forget what I'm drinkin' to forget. by David Allen Coe 3. They ain't makin Jews like Jesus anymore. by Kinky Friedman 4. I've never been to bed with an ugly woman (but I've sure woken up with a few). by Bobby Bare. 5. You can't get milk from a cow named Ben. by Fiddlin' John Carson & Moonshine Kate. 6. Don't the girls get prettier at closing time. by Mickey Gilley. 7. May the bird of paradise fly up your nose. by Little Jimmy Dickens. 8. My head hurts, my feet stink, and I don't love Jesus. by Jimmy Buffett. 9. I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy. by Dr. Rock. 10. All My Exes Live in Texas (That's Why I Hang My Hat In Tennessee). by George strait. 11. Did I Shave My Legs For This?. by Deanna Carter. 12. For Sentimental Reasons (I Love You For Seventy Mental Reasons). by Red Ingle. 13. Get Your Biscuits In The Oven And Your Buns In The Bed. by Kinky Friedman. 14. Get Your Tongue Outta My Mouth ('Cause I'm Kissing You Goodbye). by Ray Stevens. 15. How Can I Miss You If You Won't Go Away?. by Dan Hicks. 16. I Can't Get Over You 'Til You Get Out From Under Him. by Mark Rayburn. 17. I Gave Her The Ring, She Gave Me The Finger. by Crow Carroll. 18. I Hate Every Bone In Your Body (But Mine). by Darryl Rhoades. 19. My Baby Ran Off With A Coal Miner (& All I Got Was The Shaft). by Dick Feller. 20. Never Hit Your Grandma With A Shovel. by Dick Unteed. That will do for now. Stay tuned as there are lots more. Hope you enjoy.

After looking over that list a tune by Willie Nelson leaps to mind, I went to bed at 2 with a 10, but woke up at 10 with a 2. corus Never went to bed with any ugly women, But Lord I've woke up with a few.

"I'm my own grandpa" WE used to sing this at camp. Does anyone recognize it? It was really funny, the person singing became his own grandfather! "Does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight?" "Do your ears hang low, do they wobble to and fro?" "Lookin' for love in all the wrong places"

Plastic Jesus "I don't care if it rains or freezes long as I got my plastic Jesus, ridin' on the dashboard of my car...through all trials and tribulations, we shall travel every nation, me and plastic Jesus will go far." "I don't care if it's dark or scary, long as I got magnetic Mary..., but I fear she'll have to go, her magnet stops my radio, and if we have a wreck she'll cause a scar." I can play this one on the guitar, one of five songs in my rep!

BRUYERE! I can play it, TOO! Courtesy of my first husband! He was remarkable for a few things...just not enough of them! The other song I remember THIS way... I AM (emphasis on "AM") my own grandpa! Think I heard Grandpa Jones play it as an opener to Hank Williams Jr. at Massey Hall in Toronto when my mother MADE me go to the live concert when I was 13 or so...really embarassing at the time! Your other songs are probably "500 Miles", "Blowing In the Wind", "Puff the Magic Dragon", maybe "Summertime" and well, I'll give you some leeway!

I don't know if these are "funny" as much as "odd", but here are some Kinks songs, anyway: Jack The Idiot Dunce I'm a Hog For You Baby Announcements from Preservation Act II Do You Wish To Be A Man? Welcome To Sleazy Town Acute Schizophrenia Paranoia Blues

I'm surprised nobody has come up with an all time classic that you would hear schoolkids singing in the early 70's. It was by St.Cecilia and was entitled Leap up and down (wave your knickers in the air)  Anyone remember that one?

Mairzy doats and oatsie oats..now I've got it in my head, my aunt used to sing that. How about, "My mamma told me if I was goodie, that she would buy me a rubber dollie, my sister told her, I kissed a soldier, now she won't buy me a rubber dollie." Hmmm, not quite the same as in the old days! "How ya gonna keep em down on the farm, after they've seen Pareeee?"

No, Bruyere, it's Mairzy Doats and Dozy Doats. Also there's the Hut-Sut Song. The 40's were big on nonsense songs. tjoeb};>

Surprised no Dylan in this thread, "Rainy Day Women No 12 and 35" springs to mind.
