I quite admire those who write funny songs. I think I've got a decent sense of humour, but to sit down and write a song that will make people laugh is an incredible gift, whether or not it's got a point to it. I tend to like those that do. My favorites are Eric Idle's ditties. And I find they're very helpful on hard days; just sing a bit of "Bright Side of Life" and whistle that bit and a little perspective on life's problems seems to return. I wish I could write funny stuff, but I think you don't necessarily set out to be funny. Anyway, nice thread. sb
