Thread Name: What 'serious' song do you giggle through?
Subject: RE: What 'serious' song do you giggle through?
"American Pie," one of my favorite songs in high school, became the funniest song I ever heard when I heard an overly earnest young guitarist perform it at a coffeehouse in college, and my friend and I began to speak the words in serious, declamatory tones. It went on all evening, long after the coffeehouse was over, and I laughed till tears ran down my face. For months afterward, we could reduce one another to helpless giggles by asing each other accusingly, "Did YOU write the book of love?" or really just over-acting any line from all five now-hilarious verses. Try it! It's fun! Ruins the song, though.
