Musicians/Funny: Difference between revisions

Bands, solo artists and genres with their own pages:

 

 

 

* [[Linkin Park]], as a part of their ''Linkin Park Underground'' E.P. series devoted volume 8 to just goofing around. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZn3cqi4biI&feature=related it] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuJg9d6lN6A&feature=related was] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TANMgY_3De0 funnier] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuZBFpslygU&feature=related than it] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xs-OrztP9IE sounds].

* Zac Brown Band has [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUt0AUDfHvo Sic 'em on a Chicken.] The entire song counts, but the last verse where they kill it with a frying pan is just hilarious!

* [[Dolly Parton]] sometimes performs her song "Do I Ever Cross Your Mind", only imitating a vinyl record being played at [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUPVB6uYh8I& too high a speed].

* '[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7MuwPlOiNQ Are you F*cking Kidding Me?]' by Kate Miller-Heidke

* 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.

** 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).

** "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)''

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64-dF5fSsxg This] parody fandub of SPICE!.

{{quote| I'm at a strip club getting "SU-PAI-SU" <br />

** Or better yet, the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fPAdN3B248 DDR] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RXNlz3PCHU edits], and their [[Narm Charm]]. Take your pick between "[[This Is Sparta|DDR! X! TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!]]" and "MUSIC FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTT!!"

* "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.

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvt4b_qwC_Q Cocktails For Two]

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpBQe4Hc1hQ Willam Tell Overture], featuring Feetlebaum

{{quote| "I, I will be king… Crimson"}}

** See also the ''Three of a Perfect Pair'' bonus track "The King Crimson Barber Shop."

* Not exactly music, but [[Jim Steinman]]'s monologues "[http://www.neverlandhotel.dk/lyrics.php?no=46 Love and Death and an American Guitar]" and "[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]]!}}"}}

* [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.

* Jonah Bergman of Schoolyard Heroes [http://blog.seattlepi.com/guerrillacandy/2007/10/02/parents-lash-out-against-schoolyard-heroes-schoolyard-heroes-fires-back/ responds] to a [[Moral Guardian]].

* Sara Bareilles sang a song that was called something like "You're an asshole" at a concert. People were given lyrics.

** ALL Weird Al videos. But definitely ''Fat''. Watch Michael Jackson's ''Bad'' (preferably the full-length version with its [[Talky Bookends]]). Then watch this.

** Oh come on! How can you talk about his music videos without mentioning [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gh4zvQfDhi0 his take] on the [[So Bad It's Good|infamously horrible]] MccArthur Park.

* How about Kurt Cobain's reaction to being asked to lip-synch on ''Top of the Pops''? Singing the whole of 'Teen Spirit' in a ridiculous Ian Curtis/Morrissey croon while miming playing his guitar with a completely flat hand and a [http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3kdv7_nirvana-smells-like-teen-spirit-liv_music gormless grin on his face?]

** Speaking of Morrissey, didn't he, in a similar situation, swap out the microphone for a bouquet of gladiolas?

* Kurt Cobain attending Headbanger's Ball wearing a ridiculous yellow dress. When asked about it, he replied "It's Headbanger's Ball so I thought I'd wear a gown."

* After a very intense (for MTV standards at least) performance by [[Marilyn Manson]] at the 1997 Video Music Awards, host Chris Rock yelled for the audience to "Run to church right now or you're going to hell!"

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltCTRncMlsc "If we knew we'd form another group and be managers"].
