Apologies, mates, I was at the other end of the country for work, this week, and haven't had a moment to breathe 'til now.

I'll scan the earlier pages of the thread to make sure I choose an original topic.

Thanks for the warm welcome, btw!

All right, how about THE BEST COMEDY SONG? You can go as far back as the 19th century, if you like, but it can't be too long. It's also got to be a perfect marriage between music and lyrics -- visuals/video are a value add, but not a deciding factor.

OOPS, forgot to set the deadline: how about Sunday night? I think we could use the extra laughs.

I had this years ago and it disappeared with a whole lot of my other vinyl- (I’m sure people used to knick me records off me!). Great lyrics

Oops, just read that it can't be too long.

I'll try to think of another one that's shorter.

I believe this is the original as it was a Calypso. Covered many times in Reggae too.

For me this was simply "choose your favourite Monty Python song". Which, today, is

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

 

[Icy Gull]

I’ll get in quickly on this oh so predictable song

If Johnson isn't funny for you, try this

[Stato]

I would love to post something witty, clever, sophisticated, satirical or surreal: Tim Minchin, Not the Nine O'Clock News, Tom Lehrer, or Viv Stanshall, but I just can't resist this. Purile, obnoxious and offensive, but gets me every single time:

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

For Stato’s bouncy song, obviously numerous punk songs to pogo to but instead I’m going for this…..

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

And for Quebec Seagull’s comedy I’ll throw this in from my childhood!
