re: humorous songs...I hope to make the focus the varieties of things people find funny in songs...some laugh at slapstick, some at surprises, some at silliness/nonsense, etc.There are songs that are only re-telling of jokes..("Why Paddy's Not at Work Today".."The Scotsman")...there are songs which paint a comic look at the serious side of life.."When I First Came to this Land"...there are songs that are pure bawdy farce..("The Bastard King of England")....and people sure do laugh at DIFFERENT things...so...bring examples and variations on the theme and we will all giggle and argue till we drop.
