For the purposes of this thread, does "English Songs" include songs in English by Irish song writers? Cos if so, there are many excellent candidates, from Zozimus via Percy French to some brilliant writers who are on the go now, such as Con Ó Drisceoil.

I have a repertoire which includes some funny songs- well, some people laugh anyway.
However, at some singarounds, after several dreich songs, I often feel under pressure to redress the balance with a bit of humour. The result is that some people think I'm a singer of comic songs.
So I'd like to place on record that if I get the chance I can be as bloody miserable as everybody else....

Somebody already name-dropped
The Bonzo Dog Doodah Band:

Can blue men sing the whites,
or are they hypocrites?
