Most ridiculous song ever written?

This title reminds me of an awful band that got famous (as famous as you can get playing grindcore :D) from shock lyrics.

The band Anal**** or AxCx could have basically every song they ever released posted here. They are crappy "musicians", and write pretty distasteful stuff, even for me. Here are a few examples: (click at your own risk)

I Sent Concentration Camp Footage To America's Funniest Home Videos

You're Pregnant, So I Kicked You In The Stomach

Don't Offer Me Weak Drugs Or I'll Kick Your ****ing A$$

I'm Gonna Give You Aids

They stated that they only do it to shock people, and have even admitted to sending material to publications they knew would hate it, just to get bad reviews. They don't really have much else to help them out I guess. The lead singer ingested crack, alcohol, heroin, and two months' worth of Ambien and fell into a coma in 2008. Ironically, he wrote a song in 1997 called "You're In A Coma". I call that poetic justice. Seth Putnam is now dead from a suspected drug overdose earlier this year. Go figure.

I was gonna post AxCx, but I figured it was obvious that they were just trolling, kinda like how you can't really say Stephen Colbert is the most insane news caster on TV. I'm not sure about Vomit Erection though...

I always thought this song was quite ridiculous.....

What's with the "heh" at 0:22 and 0:44 and 1:21 and 1:46?? And at 1:27 "I am the magnificent, W-O-O-O heh!"

I remember hearing this song when I was in high school in the early 70's, and when I heard it, I thought "what the f***???"

I was thinking about Double Barrel too. Well, they stuck with the same formula for their follow up called Monkey Spanner.

There's a ton of gore bands like Vomit Erection, each with their own ridiculous band name. Even though AxCx are just trolls, they've stood out in the ridiculous department to me.

Canadian band Max Webster was known for doing lots of quirky and ridiculous songs ala Frank Zappa style.

I'm actually a longtime Max Webster fan. While this song was certainly experimental, I don't think that you are painting them in a very flattering light.

I think they were a very talented group of musicians playing their own brand of '70s prog rock.

Although Kim sang almost everything, all the lyrical work was done by a man named Pye Dubois. Maybe you heard of him, he wrote the lyrics to Tom Sawyer.

Ah, to the contrary. I am also a Max Webster and Kim Mitchell fan as well as Frank Zappa and I really like their quirky, off the wall lyrics and unusual music arrangements.
