Songs (or bits of songs) that make you LOL!

ashstreath85 [Edit] [Delete] 21:32, 15 April '08

I was listening to 'Animals' by Talking Heads today. The central premise of the song - a man so totally uptight and paranoid that he can't even trust pets - just got me. Includes the lyrics

I’m mad...and that’s a fact
I found out...animals don’t help
Animals think...they’re pretty smart
Shit on the ground...see in the dark.

and

I know the animals...are laughing at us
They don’t even know...what a joke is
I won’t follow...animal’s advice
I don’t care...if they’re laughing at us.

A lot of Morrissey's lyrics make me laugh, too - just his way with a turn of (archaic) phrase. From 'Vicar In A Tutu'

A scanty bit of a thing
With a decorative ring
That wouldn't cover the head of a goose
As Rose collects the money in a cannister
Who comes sliding down the bannister ?
The vicar in a tutu
He's not strange
He just wants to live his life this way

The monkish monsignor
With a head full of plaster
Said : "My man, get your vile soul dry-cleaned"
As Rose counts the money in the cannister
As natural as Rain
He dances again
My god !
The vicar in a tutu
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Whether it makes you laugh intentionally (see above) or not (see Papa Roach), any other suggestions?
