Music to make you laugh by

We have a CD - Dudley Moore "Live from an Aircraft Hanger" that is very funny. I used to know the slang meaning of "aircraft hanger" in the UK, but can't seem to remember what it is right now. Anyway, the CD's a hoot.

Does anyone know any CLASSICAL music that is funny?

There's nothing funny about 103 conservatory trained geeks that belong to a union. That's why I never made the cut.

Of course, that's not really fair, I could play all the notes, just not all the time. And there are 100's of orchestral inside jokes. The music? There are works with humorous themes like Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks and Lt. Kije but they don't "sound" funny and Till is hanged. How funny is that? Like a Shakespeare comedy, everybody still dies but they all die happy. I forget who said that. I've got it, Charles Ives oh oh, brain cramp, you know the one where the marching bands each play a different march and crash into each other at the intersection? I don't recall any fatalities from playing that. Maybe Gallagher narrating "Carnival of the Animals" or "Peter and the Wolf"? He could bring the hunters out in a Toyolet. That would be funny.

Katharina: Yes, the 101 Strings listed above (if you consider unintentional camp to be funny) and Victor Borge (SP) mentioned by Kitch. If you are under 40, you may have missed Mr. Borge. Although not always classical, many of the works of Henry Mancini show a great deal of humor (to me anyway).
