Thread Name: What 'serious' song do you giggle through?
Subject: RE: What 'serious' song do you giggle through?
Nice to see this refreshed, and nice to meet you, Page of Cups. Are you a Tarot reader or something?

When I started this thread I wasn't looking for parodies or comical mistakes so much as the times when the real words are unintentionally funny - like the Lord Randall, Bind Us Together, and Black Velvet Band examples that have been given recently.

Another one is Wild Mountain Thyme. Both because the "Lassie" in the chorus always makes me think of a collie ("Go, Lassie! Get the flowers from Timmy and take them to the house!") and because "the blooming heather" sounds like a polite substitution for "the bloody heather."
