Favorite Funny Song Line

**Joe P** · February 27th, 2009, 13:38

What's your favorite funny song line? The one that makes you laugh every time you hear it, even though you know it's coming?

Mine would have to be from Frank Zappa's "Cosmic Debris".

"Is that a real poncho, or is that a Sears poncho?"

I can't help but laugh every time I hear that.

mine would be:

so in the end,
swamper and greeny
finally succumb to
the ways of harold.
and in doing so
each gave just a little bit of his soul away...
what a couple of dumbsh1ts. from primus' "harold of the rocks". it's one of those things you have to listen to in context.

Just about anything from Frank would qualify...

My favorite funny song title is 'Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave And Grooving With A Pict'.

:d It's been years cheezy...but that's a goodun! I haven't dug out any Primus tunes in years!
It's one heckuva toss up between pretty much anything Zappa or Primus...maybe throw Jerry Reed or Ray Stevens in the works too.

But my all time favorite isn't just a line though...it's the whole song.
Fruitcakes by Jimmy Buffet

Fruitcakes in the kitchen, fruitcakes in the kitchen
Fruitcakes on the street, fruitcakes on the street
Struttin naked through the crosswalk
In the middle of the week
Half-baked cookies in the oven, cookies in the oven
Half-baked people on the bus, people on the bus
Theres a little bit of fruitcake left in everyone of us

Mine is from Robert Fripp's album "Exposure"
"I may not have had enough of me but I've had enough of you"
Great stuff from the guy who gives you the sounds of Vista starting up

During my larval stage there was this guy that had a radio show that was bar none the high point of my week...

Dr. Demento

He played all kinds of great stuff...Frank Zappa was a given, along with Tom Lehrer and a host of others that I am unable to recall at this time. A quick check of the net has found him, but it seems that you have to cough up a few bucks to listen. One of the great ones I recall was "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park" by Tom Lerher...

"...we murder them all, with much laughter & merriment - except for the few we take home to experiment..."

Many years later when I was in the Navy & stationed in Bremerton, WA I listened to the Bob River's radio show in the morning. They would cook up these amazingly well done (and hilarious) parodies of known songs. The cool part is that you can enjoy them for free!

You want the "Twisted Tunes". Start with "Bowel Moves", and "Beat Up Old Jetliner"...and go from there. :d

Have Fun!

Well, in honor of the man being inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame, Mr. Henry St. Clair Fredericks, better known to all as Taj Mahal, I'll offer this line:

"I never drank a drop of whiskey,
But the Blues made me sloppy drunk!"
