Listening to (I don't sing them!) any of those terrible 'death' songs from the late 1950s/early 1960s makes me chortle - Ebony Eyes, Dead Man's Curve, Leader of the Pack, Tell Laura I Love Her, etc. Or those ghastly tribute songs to dead rock stars (Remember Buddy Holly, Three Stars, I Remember Elvis Presley, etc.). Or pop songs with 'serious' bits in like the spoken bit in Elvis's Are You Lonesome Tonight ("I wonder if... (pause)... you're lonesome tonight..."). I just can't take them seriously after all the spoof versions ;-)
