Line 72:
* Tripod's song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tt0hml2j43E Ghost Ship], which has them interrupting the song to suggest ways that it could be made better.
** They fall to sqabbling again in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJ2yPRHdVi8 Maryanne].
{{quote| '''Yon''' ''(attempting to rescue a love song that turned into the ballad of a murderer going to the movies)'':<br />
Her name was Maryanne<br />
She made him feel like a man<br />
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 />
Line 85:
* '[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7MuwPlOiNQ Are you F*cking Kidding Me?]' by Kate Miller-Heidke
* No amount of [[Never Live It Down|douchebaggery]] from [[Kanye West]] will make his "Broke Phi Broke" skits any less hilarious.
{{quote| "We have no money, we are ''sharing jeans.'' If I go outside, '''I got the only clothing on!'''" <br />
"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].
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 <br />
Flat chest flat chest flat chest flat chest flat chest flat chest <br />
If you say you hate onions <br />
I'll stick an onion up your [[Sound Effect Bleep|(BLEEP)]] <br />
Hey, what are you doing? <br />
Line 111:
** 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" <br />
And that means "SPICE!", but who cares? <br />
I'm getting blown... <br />
...away by you, so watch me suggestively pose, <br />
naked with this rabbit <br />
[[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!!!!]]'''''}}
** 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.
Line 129:
* "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.
{{quote| ''Chinese music always sets me free''<br />
''[[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|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 and the Machine|''Kiss With A Fist''.]]
* 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]]!}}"}}
* "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 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!<br />
'''Caller:''' Yeah, can you play some Self?<br />
'''DJ:''' Excuse me, ''who''?<br />
'''Caller:''' Some Self, um... Self?<br />
'''DJ:''' Alright kid, you got it, here's some Seal on Hits 106.9! }}
* Christian heavy rock group Thousand Foot Krutch doing a metal take on... [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlg5KuFSGGc "Jingle Bell Rock".] It's equal parts hilarious and downright badass.
* [[Iggy Pop]]'s "Success" has his whole backing band and producer [[David Bowie]] joining in on backing vocals, which basically repeat every lyric of the song. They keep repeating everything once Iggy starts going off on ad-libs near the end, so he decides to try to trip them up:
{{quote| '''Iggy:''' I'm gonna do the twist!<br />
'''All:''' I'm gonna do the twist! <br />
'''Iggy:''' I'm gonna hop like a frog!<br />
'''All:''' I'm gonna hop like a frog!<br />
'''Iggy:''' I'm gonna go out on the street and do anything I want!<br />
'''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:
{{quote| ''Now the verses I've sang''<br />
''Don't add much weight''<br />
''To the story in my head''<br />
''So I'm thinking I should go and write a punchline''<br />
''But they're so hard to find''<br />
''In my cosmic mind'' }}
 
Line 174:
* [[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| <br />
"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.
Line 209:
** Not to mention "[[Boom Box]]," which has Julian Casablancas (lead singer for The Strokes). Just watch it. '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yvEYKRF5IA EVERYONE WAS WEARING FINGERLESS GLOVES!]'''
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQlIhraqL7o I Just Had Sex]. While sex ''is'' indeed quite awesome, this video [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|takes it to absurd levels]].
{{quote| But she was looking at her watch! (Doesn't matter I had sex!)<br />
But I cried the whole time! (Doesn't matter I had sex!)<br />
I think she might have been a racist! (Doesn't matter I had sex!)<br />
She put a bag on my head! (Still counts!) }}
** Jack Black doing [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzEzk0G0tao Sax Man]. "He'll be right with you folks!"
Line 219:
* The video to Kim Carnes' "Bette Davis Eyes" has pirates slapping each other.
* The 'Literal Video Version' of Bonnie Tyler's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj-x9ygQEGA Total Eclipse of the Heart].
{{quote| I walk onto a terrace where I think I'm alone/But Arthur Fonzarelli's got an army of clones! ''Fonzie's been cloned!''<br />
Blind posseeeeessed choiiiiir booooys! }}
* Similar to Nirvana and Iron Maiden, Muse also like to ham it up and switch instruments when forced to lip sync by a show. An appearance on a Spanish television show featured vocalist Matt Bellamy drumming like a [[Guitar Hero]] drummer with a cheesy smile on his face, and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXhEUPcLSCI another one] included him miming a synthesizer part by wildly waving his hands around several inches ''above'' the keyboard.
Line 239:
* The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AKoC30vZOw&feature=channel video] for Conquest by [[The White Stripes]], especially the bull's CGI puppy-dog eyes.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRmYfVCH2UA Alanis Morissette's version] of 'My Humps' by the [[Black Eyed Peas]]. Especially at:
{{quote| "And you don't want no drama. No no drama no no no drama."}}
* If you think [[Pink Floyd]] is all serious and glum, look at [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKN0-BC9PPg this video] they shot for "Corporal Clegg".
* At the end of [[ABBA]]'s video for "Take a Chance on Me", when Frida strides off the stage, and Benny hops off his chair and goes scuttling after her.
