Line 1: {{trope}}{{cleanup\|There are entries below the link list which should be moved the appropriate artist's Funny page, if they're not already there, and delete from this one.}} ~~{{trope}}~~ Even music has its Funny Moments. These are just a few of them. Line 44: * [[U2/Funny\|U 2]] * [[Van Halen/Funny\|Van Halen]] * [["Weird Al" Yankovic/Funny\|"Weird Al" Yankovic]] * [[Yoshiki Hayashi/Funny\|Yoshiki Hayashi]] == Funny Moments in Classical == * Professor Peter Schickele "discovered some works" by a forgotten member of the Bach family - "[[PDQ Bach\|P. D. Q. Bach]], the twenty-first child & the youngest and the oddest of the twenty-odd children" of Johann Sebastian Bach. Here, he plays one of P. D. Q. Bach's more famously forgotten piece, "Konzertshitcke for two violins mit orchestra - P. D. Q. Bach (1807 - 1742)? [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQkRs3Ek7Iw with violinist Itzhak Perlman] & [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMSEPUuNP8k&feature=related conductor John Williams.] * [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5EkbTPPuSo&feature=related Schleptet in E-flat major] by P. D. Q. Bach; conducted by Professor Peter Schickele. * Grieg's Piano Concerto will never be the same after Morecambe & Wise was done through with it (with the special participation of Andre Previn, of course.) Playing all the right notes indeed. Here's the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7GeKLE0x3s&feature=related full] clip. Line 59: == Funny Moments in songs == * Anything that appeared on ~~Doctor~~[[Dr. Demento]]. [[Tom Lehrer\|"Poisoning Pigeons in the Park"]] Yoda{{context}} "The Scotsman" by Bryan Bowers ...screw it the "Best of Album has like 20 songs on it and this troper is NOT listing them all here * An unintentional one from our good friend Master P, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggNymSJ52Fw&t=0m21s but amazing nonetheless.] Line 75: Her name was Maryanne She made him feel like a man I'm not saying she made him feel like a man [[Buffy-Speak\|in the way that, you know, like when you feel like an icy-pole it means that you want an icy-pole]]~~<br />~~ She didn't make him want a man~~<br />~~ '''Scod''': [[Sarcasm Mode\|You really saved the show there, thanks for that.]] }} * The song "Oasis" from the lovely and talented Miss [[Amanda Palmer]]. Line 87: {{quote\|"We have no money, we are ''sharing jeans.'' If I go outside, '''I got the only clothing on!'''" "Do you remember all those Christmases when your Mama walked in the room and pretended she was the tree, huh? Remember that?" }} * ''[[Songs to Wear Pants To]]'' is 75% full of songs that are crowning moments of funny, one in particular being [http://www.songstowearpantsto.com/songs/i-am-an-educated-fish/ "I Am An Educated Fish"]. * Pretty much anything by Wesley Willis applies, but his funniest is "My Keyboard got Damaged" where he talks about getting ejected from a plane for cursing. The way he says "SUDDENLY, I YELLED FUCK YOU ON THE AIRPLANE" makes me laugh every time I listen to it. * "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ik4trQ8UttE Don't Hate Me (Because I'm Beautful)]" by Nerf Herder. Actually, quite a fair bit of their songs could qualify as well. * The ''[[Super Mario Land]]'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmwtykJj47Y Rap] is one part [[Obligatory Swearing]], one part [[Boisterous Bruiser]]-style gameplay, at ''least'' two parts affectionate nostalgia, and... it kind of defies adjectives past that point, but if you've played the game and can live with the aforementioned swearing, it's hilarious. ** This is a pretty accurate description of many of their raps, but with more swearing, more attempts at [[Comedic Sociopathy]], and less affectionate nostalgia. * [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tqhnBhCue8&feature=related This] ''metal'' cover of "Blue (Da Ba Dee)". ** Along with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEHtTMigQ9U&feature=related this] metal cover of You Spin Me Round, by the same group, set to the music video. * [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LecGuQE6t44 I Had a Shoggoth]. That is all. Line 98: * Most who've heard of [[The Frantics]] would probably say "Ti Kwan Leep/Boot to the Head" is their CMoF. [[Sensei Le Roof\|This troper]] is forced to disagree. If you can listen to "A Piece of Pie" without ever laughing, you are a fiend and you have no soul and I am coming for your children. * [[Vocaloid\|Kagamine]] [[Cute Shotaro Boy\|Len]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_2K2d91Im0 no Bousou]: {{quote\|''Cheeks squish squish ''Flat chest flat chest flat chest flat chest flat chest flat chest ''If you say you hate onions ''I'll stick an onion up your [[Sound Effect Bleep\|(BLEEP)]] ~~<br />~~ ''Hey, what are you doing? ~~<br />~~ ''Stop [[Video Game Cruelty Potential\|making me sing those perverted lines]]... ~~<br />~~ ''[[Vocaloid]] is...V...Vo...Voc... ~~<br />~~ ''Do you like Vocaloid? }} ** "Master, did you buy us [[All Anime Is Naughty Tentacles\|thinking we were an]] [[Eroge]]? I'M RIGHT, AREN'T I?! 'But I still love him anyway'...is what he made me say <nowiki></nowiki>cry" "I can't take this anymore...but I have...'''THE ROAD ROLLER!''' [[Laughing Mad\|AHA, AHA, AHA! AHAHAHAHAHA!! AHA AHA! AHAHAHAHA!! HAAAA HA HA HA!!]]" ''(crash)'' "Len's [[Heroic BSOD\|pretty unstable]]..." ''(cue Len singing like a cat)'' Also sung by Len, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4ydivnfcno "Hetarenaide Yo! Oniichan"]. Specifically, at about the 1:57 mark: {{spoiler\|"Come '''[[Sound Effect Bleep\|(BLEEP)]]'''<ref>"inside me"</ref>, [[Ho Yay\|Onii-chan]]! / Don't worry about the pregnancy." The [[This Trope Is Bleep\|bleep]], coupled with the song being sung by a ''14-year-old boy who thinks he can get pregnant'', is what makes the line (if not the [[Intercourse with You\|rest of the song]]) hilarious.}} [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64-dF5fSsxg This] parody fandub of "SPICE!". {{quote\|''I'm at a strip club getting "SU-PAI-SU" ''And that means "SPICE!", but who cares? ''I'm getting blown... ''...away by you, so watch me suggestively pose, ''naked with this rabbit ''[[Twincest\|WANNA BONE MY TWIN!]] }} * From ''[[Beatmania IIDX]]'': [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bybkLlNbaaw GOLD RUSH]. Just...GOLD RUSH. {{quote\|1st Style! Substream! 2nd Style! 3rd Style! 4th Style! 5th Style! 6th Style! 7th Style! ''8th Style! 9th Style! [[Large Ham\|10TH STYLE, 2DX RED, HAPPY SKY, DISTORTED!!]] '''[[Chewing the Scenery\|TWO DEE ECKS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDD!!!!]]'''''}} Line 122: * "Give Him A Flower" by the Crazy World of Arthur Brown. While it's more or less a song about turning the other cheek, the sheer ridiculousness in the way its sung - complete with ''Napoleon Dynamite''-styled music - makes you wanna roll on the floor and laugh. * [[Spike Jones]] was the king of this subtrope in the 40's. Here are a few selections: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvt4b_qwC_Q "Cocktails For Two"] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpBQe4Hc1hQ ~~Willam~~"William Tell Overture"], featuring Feetlebaum [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pz5EQVAkIJ0 "That Old Black Magic"] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZlFBSRrSR0 "Der Fuhrer's Face"], the funniest song about [[Adolf Hitler]] you will ever hear. * ~~The~~[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pidokakU4I "Four Chord Song" by Axis of Awesome], especially the guy with the guitar ~~[http://www~~.~~youtube.com/watch?v=5pidokakU4I\]~~ Overlaps with [[Awesome Moments]] as it proves a very good point about pop music * "Preview" by Built To Spill, the final track of their album ''There's Nothing Wrong With Love''. It claims to be [["On the Next..."\|"A preview of the next Built To Spill record"]], but is actually a collage of style parody snippets (of [[Hardcore Punk]], noise rock, [[Emo]] / [[Pop Punk]], and [[Power Ballad\|power ballads]]). The hardcore section is particularly funny, as the only lyrics are [[Department of Redundancy Department\|"Kick you in the head, and then I'll kick you in the head, and then I'll kick you in the head, and then I'll kick you in the head"]]. * "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaNt5S9pibQ Aja]" by [[Steely Dan]], a song about people embracing Asian culture without actually knowing anything about it. Line 132: ''[[Buffy-Speak\|Angular banjos]] sound good to me'' }} * "Dear Doctor" by [[The Rolling Stones]], especially the part where Mick Jagger reads a Dear John letter in a high pitched voice. * We got this far without a mention of [[Johnny Cash\|]]'s "A Boy Named Sue]]"? {{quote\|"My name is Sue. How do you do? NOW YOU GONNA ''DIE''!"}} * In [[King Crimson]]'s cover of "Heroes" by [[David Bowie]] (from the 2000 live album ''Heavy ConstruKction''), Adrian Belew changed the lyrics of the first line slightly: {{quote\|"I, I will be king… Crimson"}} ** See also the ''Three of a Perfect Pair'' bonus track "The King Crimson Barber Shop." * All of [[Florence + the Machine\|]]'s ''Kiss With A Fist''.]] * Not exactly music, but [[Jim Steinman]]'s monologues "[https://web.archive.org/web/20120623183258/http://www.neverlandhotel.dk/lyrics.php?no=46 "Love and Death and an American Guitar"]" and "[https://web.archive.org/web/20120624042227/http://www.neverlandhotel.dk/lyrics.php?no=92 "The Want Ad]"] are both hilarious, particularly the ending of the former: {{quote\|"... and just as I was about to bring the guitar crashing down upon the centre of the bed, my father woke up screaming 'Stop! Wait a minute! Stop it, boy! What do you think you're doing? {{spoiler\|[[Completely Missing the Point\|THAT'S NO WAY TO TREAT AN EXPENSIVE MUSICAL INSTRUMENT]]!~~}}"~~'}} "And I said, 'Goddammit, Daddy. You know I love you. But you've got a hell of a lot to learn about ROCK AND ROLL!'"}} * [[The Beatles\|"I've got no car and it's breaking my heart... but I've found a driver and that's a start!"]] * [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PC0DKov8l9w&feature=related Satan's Ice Cream Truck] by [[Strapping Young Lad]] * [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=~~LRXdTsMbqC8~~PC0DKov8l9w&feature=related ~~Big~~"Satan's ~~Booty~~Ice ~~Bitches~~Cream Truck"]. ~~That~~by is[[Strapping ~~all.~~Young Lad]] * [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRXdTsMbqC8 "Big Booty Bitches"]. That is all. * Like Built To Spill's "Preview", Self's "LA Radio" is also a bunch of snippets parodying different music genres strung together, this time edited to sound like someone flipping through a radio dial. The style parodies are entertaining enough, but the funniest moment might be a bit where someone calls a radio station to request Self: {{quote\|'''DJ:'''That was The Dandy Fanny. Hits 106.9, I'm Tweaky Bob. Caller six, you're on the air! Line 156 ⟶ 157: '''All:''' I'm gonna hop like a frog! '''Iggy:''' I'm gonna go out on the street and do anything I want! '''All:''' [[Motor Mouth\|I'mgonnagooutonthestreetanddoanything-]]~~<br />~~ '''Iggy:''' Oh, shit...~~<br />~~ '''All:''' Oh, shit! }} * [[Yes]] shows a rare glimpse of humor on the title to track to 1977's ''Going for the One'', care of mystically minded [[Cloudcuckoolander]] singer/lyricist Jon Anderson: Line 168 ⟶ 169: == Funny Moments with the bands/artists == * [[Relient K]] ashas this about once per album, if not more, but the best is definitely [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsqKHoF162k "Crayons Can Melt on Us for ~~all~~All I Care"]. The title might actually be longer than the song itself, which only makes it more hilarious. * [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tn2qKraB1lQ This video]. ** [[Older Than You Think]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzqGQkLMo9o evidence]. * Kelly Clarkson did not want to release "Already Gone" as a single, due to the fact that it was basically Beyonce's "Halo" with the [[Serial Numbers Filed Off]]. [[Executive Meddling\|19 Entertainment felt otherwise.]] So, while performing the song at one of her concerts, to get back at her record company and the writer of both songs, she did [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdPf8sYEHAA&feature=player_embedded this (wait until the 3:32 mark).] * [[Short Stack]]: "We are confident enough in our sexuality to do a [[Kylie Minogue]] song!" They then proceeded to sing "Can't Get You Out Of My Head". * In a live performance of "Fake" (possibly one of the most beautiful unrequited love songs ever written), the Frames' lead singer Glen Hansard decided to shake the song up a little. Between each half of each verse is an instrumental crescendo. During the crescendo in the second verse, he ad-libbed some new lyrics: {{quote\|"I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one." }}▼ ~~{{quote\|~~ ▲"I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one." }} * Any time Chibi of [[The Birthday Massacre]] gives an interview, but especially the time when she tried to coerce the interviewer into taking up knitting. * Go to the bottom on the [[Emilie Autumn]] page. Click the links. Yes, all of them. * An [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WB9pnFHqQ8c entirely unintentional moment] courtesy of Visual Kei/Goth Rock/Whatever band [[Malice Mizer]], along with some very much [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfV7P-gdtlE intentional rubbish] from their fanclub event. * [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfamTmY5REw Ben Folds playing Chatroulette at a concert]. Can double (triple?) as a [[Crowning Music of Awesome]] and a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]. * During his 30th Aniversary concert, Michael Jackson performed "You Rock My World" and Usher first comes out, leading to a small dance/robot battle. Then Chris Tucker, who had appeared in the music video of the song, comes out and starts to dance. Michael begins to crack up as Chris mimiced several of Michael's dance moves. Michael then did his kick-move, which Chris did, but with the wrong leg (relating to a joke Chris told earlier in the concert about Michael telling him he was "Kicking with the wrong leg" in Rush Hour 2, where Chris sang "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough") which causes Michael to do a literal ROFL. Line 189: == Funny Moments in music videos == * [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlU_vvITynM Hammerfall vs. the Swedish Womens' Olympic Curling team]. [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]? * [[Michael Jackson\|]]'s "Smooth Criminal]]", especially in the Moonwalker cut is a mix of [[Rule of Cool\|Coolness]] and [[Rule of Funny\|Funniness]]. * Step one: watch the original gloomy, dark music video for Nirvana's [http://youtube.com/watch?v=kPQR-OsH0RQ "Smells Like Teen Spirit"]. Step two: watch [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FklUAoZ6KxY "Weird Al" Yankovic's ~~version~~parody]. Step three: get yourself off the floor. Speaking of Weird Al: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9qYF9DZPdw The "White and Nerdy" video.] Donny Osmond's dancing ''alone'' is enough to induce tears of laughter. * Three words: "I edit [[Wikipedia]]." And on the topic of Weird Al: Listen to him duet with diva Kate Winslet in [[Award Bait Song]] fashion in the ''amazingly'' funny [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEXEXPNwlPc "I Need A Nap"]. Not only can ''everyone'' identify with the song, it's hard not to fall apart laughing when Al shouts out, "[[Truck Driver's Gear Change\|Change KEEEEEEEEEEY!]]" "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Acqd7iHDrvk It's the theme from] ''Spy'' '''HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDD!!!!''' ** ~~ALL~~''All'' Weird Al videos.
