I don't like the songs but the titles are wierd enough to mention:

" I Hope My Kids Like Marilyn Manson" by The Gas Giants

Ray Stevens- "Jeremiah Peabody's Polyunsaturated Quick-Dissolving, Fast-Acting Pleasant-Tasting Green and Purple Pills".

Don't know who sang it but "Dropkick Me, Jesus, Through the Goalposts of Life"

"Kissing you good bye" - Waylon Jennings

It's not so funny unless you read it. The main line is, "Get your tongue out of my mouth. I'm kissing you good bye."

Here is one that Louis Armstrong used to perform back in the 1920's. 

"I'm a Ding-Dong Daddy from Duma, and You Ought To See Me Do Ma'h Stuff!" 

For years, people thought I was making this up even though there it was, on one of the records in my classic collection of Louis Armstrong hits.  Then one night on the Tonight Show, a young lady stood up and challenged the band to play "Ding Dong Daddy" and sure enough, they were able to play it and she was able to sing it!

So THERE, all you doubters and scoffers and people who thought I dreamed it!

"I Hate Every Bone in Your Body But Mine" by Poison is a good one. It makes me laugh because I truly believe there are men out there who feel that way about some women.

Yikes!  I am certainly not, repeat NOT one of those men who feel that way about women,

As for favorite song titles, I guess if it's for the title alone and not the song it would have to be "Que Sera, Sera."  That should be my mantra.

"Caught Me Spanking It" by Stephen Lynch

Richard Cheese is also a pretty funny singer, he takes all types of top hits and puts a Lounge style of music to it. I recommend his rendition of "Down with the Sickness"

John Prine has a song called Come Back to Us Barbara Lewis Hare Krishna Beauregard. Really. And Jimmy Buffet has My Head Hurts, My Feet Stink and I Don't Love Jesus. Pretty good song, actually.

I came up with a title a few years ago but never wrote a song for it. Maybe one of you clever people can figure out some lyrics for this title:

If I'm Your Number One, Why Do You Treat Me Like Number Two?

--Bob

Do you ever get a song from a commercial or television show stuck in your inner ear and it keeps bobbing up at unexpected times?  For a while, I would sometimes catch myself belting out  "Viva, VIAGRA!...."   Thank God, this was eventually replaced with another favorite, this one from The Sopranos, "Woke Up This Morning, Got Myself a Gun!" which came to be especially problematic because I eventually came to know almost all the lyrics to it!

If you have never listened to "If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife" by Jimmy Soul, you just got to!  It is an oldie, but it is GREAT!!!    It is funny, has a great beat, and will have you singing it too ............long after the song is over.   You just gotta hear it!! 

umm.. i guess it'll have to b "Growinging old is getting old" by Silversun Pickups

"Hey man, I saw yo wife the other day....and she's UGLYYYYYYYYYYYY!"

ROFL!  I love that song!

Though I, too, like comedy songs and parodies along the lines of "Weird Al" Yankovich's "Eat It" and "The Saga Begins", I can't think of any really favorite funny song titles which are favorites. ("Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer" is clever but not a fave.)

So right now, because I'm a rank sentimentalist, I'll go with the duo of "As Time Goes By" and "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes."

"You Ain't No Street Walker Mama, Honey But I Do Love They Way You Strut Your Stuff" - Taj Mahal from the album The Real Thing.  Top that one MikeMaroon !

"My Ding-a-Ling" by Chuck Berry (I think).  I was a kid when it came out and I thought the title was hilarious.

That was THE ONLY number one hit Chuck Berry had.  Fact!

I don't know if it "tops" anything but, how about The Only Thing That Looks Good On You Is Me- Bryan Adams?

LOL I just heard this one today, God is Great, Beer is Good, and People are Crazy, by Billy Currington

That's a Number 1 country song and pretty good, by the way.  Sounds like Billy is channeling Merle Haggard on this one!

Aw Mike now you're talkin' . . .  I love Merle Haggard & Waylon Jennings and I just remembered another song by Johnny Cash called, Committed to Parkview,  it's disturbingly amusing!

Thank God & Greydound She's Gone. Two more really good ones are Drop Kick Me Jesus Through The Goal Post of Life & All My Exes Live In Texas. It's nice when you can find some humor in Country Music.

How does one pick ONE song???? :O) How do I choose between The Look Of Love, Love Is A Many Splendored Thing, Dancing In The Dark, Something Cool or any song sung by Billie Holiday, Morgana King, Ella, Sarah, Streisand, etc., etc.!

Toby Keith's "I Ain't As Good as I Once Was (But I'm as Good Once as I As Ever Was) kind of sums up my life these days. Love the title and the song.

"Till" it is so old now I don't even know who sung it. It was the late "50 or early "60. If anyone remembers this song please let me know the artist. 

God is Great Beer is Good and People are Crazy  I just Love it Love it Love it
