Subject: RE: songs that made us laugh From: Azizi Date: 29 Oct 07 - 01:18 PM I like Weird Al Yankovic's parodies. They make me smile. Sometimes they even make me chuckle. Does that count? I hope so since I'm far too serious to actually laugh out loud. Here's YouTube videos of two of his songs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o946egIVnbI Weird Al Yankovic- My Bologna ** http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_JIg9NB47M Weird Al Yankovic - I Lost On Jeopardy |
Subject: RE: songs that made us laugh From: GUEST,TJ in San Diego Date: 29 Oct 07 - 12:01 PM A Canadian duo of some repute, Bowser and Blue, were commissioned to write a celebratory song for a conference of colo-rectal surgeons. Delivered in a mock-serious performance, they "brought the house down," with the teary-eyed doctors convulsing in laughter. When my son played it for me, I nearly did the same. I don't have all the lyrics, but I do recall the following: "We praise the colorectal surgeon, Misunderstood and much maligned; Slaving away in the heart of darkness, Workin' where the sun don't shine." I'm sure the rest is out there on the "net" somewhere. |
Subject: RE: songs that made us laugh From: GUEST,Neil D Date: 29 Oct 07 - 11:53 AM This wasn't a folk song and it didn't even have lyrics but I remember having a 45 by Martin Mull that had "Dueling Tubas" as the A- side and the much funnier "2001 Polka" as the B-side. It was the "2001 Overture" performed as a polka and it really cracked me up. |
Subject: songs that made us laugh From: topical tom Date: 29 Oct 07 - 10:41 AM What songs made you laugh over the years? I know there is an infinite number but I hope we can recall some and laugh all over again. God knows, in this bizarre, insane world we need it! Here's a starter sung by Camille West: VIAGRA IN THE WATERS Just outside of Johnson City On a dark and twisting road In a Kenworth 18-wheeler With a heavy, shifting loadTake one with a glass of water and call me when you get up. He was pushing through to Binghamton Though the hour was getting late Pfyzer's finest on a mission To the pharmacies upstate He was on a holy mission There were men who couldn't wait (for his twenty thousand pounds of Viagra®) He'd clocked seven hundred miles Since he climbed into the rig Just another twenty five or so Would finish up that gig But the trailer hit an oil slick And down the hill did fly 'til it landed at the bottom in the town's water supply It was instant rigor mortis What a hard way to die Chorus: Save your sons Shield your daughters There's Viagra® In the waters All over Johnson City People rising with the dawn They drank their morning coffee, Took their showers, watered lawns And who could have predicted All the changes up ahead? Men were getting up for work, And heading back to bed So many called in sick, You would have thought a virus spread Down at the courthouse coffee shop Some stared in disbelief As a pack of thirsty lawyers Started filling out their briefs But at the local college Young men appeared much smarter No chromosomal mystery They simply studied harder Now water on the rocks Is the latest party starter Chorus The Johnson City firemen Cursed their wretched luck They could not get their fire hoses Wound back on the truck Sprinkling holy water at a funeral, Father Ryan said "I know I've saved their souls, but I've never raised the dead. Would a couple strong men help me now To close the casket lid?" Old man Weisberg Took the shower of his life Then he marched into the kitchen And he called out to his wife She knew something was up As he stood naked at the table Holding two cups of coffee And half a dozen bagels It had been at least a decade Since the last time he was able Chorus Believers seeking miracles The pilgrims came in hordes The waters of Viagra® Grew more popular than Lourdes The clergy quoted scripture But they found it hard to sell That those who chose to be anointed Were pointed straight to hell Despite the dire warnings The crowds began to swell Some hardened politicians Came into town one day With their permits and their pipelines Pumped the waters all away From the heart of Johnson City Rose the mournful cry of men But the women knew another truck Was coming through again Don't worry—there's a truck next week We'll spread the oil again Chorus |
