For Me it's gotta be Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey by Paul McCartney, that song is goofier than a pet racoon on thorazine.
But I really enjoy it
How about you, got any silly songs You can't get enough of? "Dead Skunk" is great, makes me laff my head off a pet raccoon on thorazine.....where do you come up with these?
I'd say pretty much anything by Dr. Demento.......especially Blow Me...A Kiss "Dead Skunk" by Loudon Wainwright III
"Cheese and Onions" by The Rutles Kiss me, I'm $hit faced by Dropkick Murphys
Also, Now You're a Man by Trey Parker & Matt Stone (south park). It's freakin hilarious. I like a lot of "Wierd Al's" stuff. But they get old pretty quick. It must be love by madness
and
the impression that I get by the mighty mighty bosstones I Got Stoned and I Missed It by Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show. The goofiest song I've ever heard, but I love it... The song about shoes.. it's so annoyingly bad that it's awesome!
Shoes... Shoes... Oh my god shoes....
Let's get some shoes... These shoes are $300....
I think you have too many shoes... shut up! There is a weird little tune at the end of the Pogues record If I Should Fall From Grace With God called Worms that I think is great. It's really weird and goofy, you'd kind of had to have heard it to get the effect, but it goes (in a weird, really deep voice only accompanied by some strange sounding horn):
When the worms fall in and the worms fall out
The ones that go in are lean and thin
The ones that fall out are fat and stout
Your eyes fall in and your teeth fall out
Your brains come tumbling down your snout
Be merry my friends, Be merry
***************
Great call on the Trey Parker/Matt Stone stuff. I particluarly love Twisted Steel Leather Donut and Everybody's on Crack. Right Said Fred ~ Bernard Cribbins
There is one I heard on the radio many years ago, which it is proving impossible to find anywhere {and I'd love to hear it again} :~
Snoopy vs. The Red Baron This time of year it always comes out-
Grandma got run over by a reindeer.
Although I took it too literally when I was young and it scared me. LOL "Want A New Drug" - Huey Lewis & The News
It's also hard for me not to dance to it. (Another "goofy" - old white man dancing). Silly Love Songs and Comin Up(Live version) by McCartney.
Dance Machine - Jacksons
Tone Loc- Wild Thing Picnic Boy by the Residents
It is one of the strangest one minute songs, and it has an odd video. "Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick" by Ian Dury & The Blockheads... they have a boatload of goofy songs, but I like a lot of them. Can I answer with a band instead?
They Might Be Giants. All of it.
Come on. How do NOT love songs like "Kiss Me, Son of God," "Shoehorn With Teeth," "Birdhouse In Your Soul," "Dead" or "Ana NG" or "Triangle Man..." I could go on and on...... Hair by the Cowsills...I love that song and probably Rock Lobster by the B-52's, that song makes no sense but has a trippy beat. Dunno if it is counts, but I will choose "7 and 7 Is" by Love. I listen to that song and go WTF. An old song from the 60's noone has probably heard:
They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haa
They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haa
To the Funny Farm, where live is beautiful all the time
and I'll be happy to see those men in their fine white suits
They're coming to take me away!
by Napoleon XIV
Side two was the same song played backwards.
Silver, I used to have that Snoopy 45!
It was by The Royal Guardsmen. BEER! by Psychostick
Winona's Big Brown Beaver by Primus pretty much anything by Blink 182 Santa Dog by The Residents
