[Music] Which Songs Make You Laugh?

[Bodian]

Quite a few by Rolf Harris used to - but more difficult to listen to now....

"The world today seems absolutely crackers
With nuclear bombs to blow us all sky high
There's fools and idiots sitting on the trigger
It's depressing, and it's senseless, and that's why..."

Top work sir. Some of the best in the business.

Watching Youtube videos of Doug Stanhope introduced me to this bloke. Grim, angry and dark stuff, but what a talent he has for a funny line:

Just the first line of this song made me buy two of his albums:

I know. Gutted that I can't enjoy 'The Court of King Caractacus' anymore. When I saw that Peacehaven Wild Kids had posted, I was expecting to see something by Peter & The Test Tube Babies. Given how many of their songs are comically offensive, it seems ironic that the most unacceptable of their output would probably be their cover of 'Leader of the Gang.'

I'd like to post Butterscott's 'Peter, Paul & Manson' but as it would possibly offend some, I'll leave anybody who wants to to look it up themselves. Instead, here's James Kochalka Superstar's 'Bad Astronaut'

These lyrics are brilliant - each verse funnier than the last.

......... or maybe not!

A van driver, a fiisherman and an electrician got together to play gigs in their local pub - next thing they knew they were selling out the Barrowlands in Glasgow. Stick through the spoof announcement for a minute or so before they start playing - not maybe a laugh but always makes me smile!

Most of Brighton the musical (Terry Garogan)
Camp Grenada
Ernie
Derek & Clive’s “when I was walking down the street one day, I saw a house on fire…..”

Obviously I’m of a certain age and I’ll add to this list when I remember or when Nurse finds the relevant cassette tapes.
