This was a real band, Spoon? With a following & everything? A hundred years ago a camp counselor of mine had a tape of theirs with a song called "Fuckin 'ell, it's Fred Titmus!" Genius.

Oh, and Zappa needs to be mentioned.


Oh, Gaw, yes. Check them out. Been around twenty years. Just put out a new one in September. Lyrics are something to behold.

Song titles are the likes of
"99% Of Gargolyles Look Like Bob Todd"
"All I Want For Christmas Is A Dukla Prague Away Kit"
"D'Ye Ken Ted Moult"
"Rod Hull Is Alive -- Why?"
"Christian Rock Concert"
"Prag Vec At The Melkweg"
"4AD3DCD"
"Improv Workshop Mimeshow Gobshite"
"13 Eurogoths Floating In The Dead Sea"
"Quality Janitor"
"Sensitive Outsider"
"Styx Gig (Seen By My Mates Coming Out Of A)"
"Tonight Matthew, I'm Going To Be With Jesus"
"Four Skinny Indie Kids"
"Split Single With Happy Lounge Labelmates"
"Irk The Purists"
"Ballad Of Climie Fisher"
"Used To Be In Evil Gazebo"
"It's Cliche To Be Cynical At Christmas"
"If I Had Possession Over Pancake Day"
"Thy Damnation Slumbereth Not"
"Shit Arm, Bad Tattoo"
"Joy Division Oven Gloves"
and "We Built This Village On Trad. Arr. Tune."

Endlessly British sub-reference explanations are helpful. Two thirds of the time I had no idea what Nigel was on about until I read these (click on the albums covers or the links and you get song explanations: http://cobweb.businesscollaborator.com/hmhb/index.htm

HMHB's 'Tending The Wrong Grave For 23 Years' is a classic. I'm also quite fond of 'Bob Wilson, Anchor Man'.

Spinal Tap's Clam Caravan and Christmas With the Devil are a good laugh.

I think Richard D. James and his various projects are pretty amusing.

Spinal Tap, hands down. They have actually caused me to see stars, because I was laughing so hard, I couldn't catch my breath.

The ones that make you laugh (in a good way, not derisively) just about every time. Are there any particular songs that do it for you?

Me:

The Bonzo Dog Band
Still funny, even the 1000th time.
Especially "The Sound Of Music" -- still elicits an involuntary, audible guffaw. Every. Stinking. Time.
Love that band.

Definitely. His originals, to me at least, were especially funny.

What about these guys?

Image

Hmmm, maybe this could wait for the DUMBEST bands thread.

Well I'm the type of guy who's into getting high on a Friday afternoon
So now you know I'm a regular Joe and I'll tell you what I like to do

I like to make the scene
In my machine
I like to make the scene
I leave 'em in another state
Whenever I accelerate

I live for Cars and girls, cars and girls
I live for Car, cars and girls
I live for Cars and girls, cars and girls
I live for Car, cars and girls

There's nothing else in this crazy world
Except for cars and girls

I got a lot of good sittin under my hood but it doesn't make me feel alright
The only time I'm feelin fine is when my baby's sittin tight

I like to get it down
I like to feel the sound
I like to get it down
I leave 'em in another state
Whenever I accelerate

I live for Cars and girls, cars and girls
I live for Car, cars and girls
I live for Cars and girls, cars and girls
I live for Car, cars and girls

There's nothing else in this crazy world

Baby you and me will go
A cruisin everywhere we know
We'll take a trip out to the west
Cause the coast's the most
'cause the surfin's best

The fastest car and a movie star are my only goals in life
It's the hippest scene, the American dream and for that I'll always fight

I like to get it down
I like to feel the sound
I like to get it down
I wanna drive the fastest car
I wanna drive the fastest car
I wanna drive the fastest car
Cars, girls, surfin beer
Nothin else matter here

I live for Cars and girls, cars and girls
I live for Car, cars and girls
I live for Cars and girls, cars and girls
I live for Car, cars and girls-acapo
