Songs with funny lyrics

Sign in to disble this ad
Hello everybody, I'm looking for some songs with funny lyrics. The song themselves don't have to have anything to do with bass, but as long as the lyrics are funny (but not explicit), they'll go on my list.

Thanks!

Bob and Doug Mackenzie.

Rick Moranis played Doug (I think?) and I forget who played Bob. (Dave Thomas?) Or maybe it was the other way around?

Get the CD "South Mouth" by Robbie Fulks - about 1/3 of the songs are humerous.

I'll second this one..."Don't eat the Yellow Snow" !!!

You said nothing explicit, but for those reading this thread who aren't offended by explicit, the first Mr. Bungle album is mind-blowingly hilarious!

As much as I don't want to say it...most Primus songs.

Wynona's Big Brown Beaver, if I have to name one. Maybe I just find it funny because of the video.

Anything by Weird Al Yankovic.

If by non-explicit you mean some swearing, but not necessarily to gangsta rap levels, anything by Goldie Lookin' Chain.

The opening from Sweat Loaf by Butthole Surfers.

Most of their stuff is funny if you like dark humor.

Boku No Atama - Paul Gilbert

It's in Japanese and it's about having a head of tomato.

If that counts...

"Ooooohh, that smell."

"Blinded by the light,
Cut loose like a deuce,
Another runner in the night."

Read the full lyrics, that song isn't very humorous at all...

Anyways, for stupid/offensive humor, you can't go wrong with Spinal Tap, some of their funniest ones are "Bitch School" and "Big Bottom".
