What's the funniest song you ever heard?


This isn't misunderstood lyrics, but the actual lyrics that were funny. There have been artists who made a living writing humorous stuff like Spike Jones, or Ray Stevens to name a few, but the funniest song I have ever heard might have been "Pretty Smart on My Part" by Phil Ochs.

He did, indeed! It's on several of his compilation albums from numerous live recordings but (I believe) was first recorded on the album called "Live and Kickin'".

As far as downloading goes, 5 of his funniest songs can be downloaded here:

This isn't the best version of the Scotsman out there, but you get the idea. Check out Elma Turl and Appalachian Rap as well for an even bigger laugh. Have fun!
Frank Zappa - "Bobby Brown Goes Down". Actually all of Sheik Yerbouti is hilarious, and I must've listened to that one 100 times...
Ray Stevens and Weird Al have made careers of humorous songs. Ray also can do the more serious song also. Read a bio of Stevens to see just how respected he is in the music business. The guy was classically trained and even played trumpet on several Elvis projects.
