Chances are that you don’t know many of the artists or songs on this list, but if you want to add something new to your iPod that will bring a smile to your face when it comes on unexpectedly, I strongly recommend these songs. I’ve excluded parody songs. I’ll provide the links to the Youtube videos so you can play them while you read blogs. (Warning: some songs may contain PG-13 language or themes)
10. 88 Lines about 44 Women by The Nails: This song is peppy, upbeat, and from the 80’s but stands the test of time. It’s still on my ipod. Video
9. Stacy’s Mom by Fountains of Wayne: This is “Mrs. Robinson” for a new generation.
8. King of Spain by Moxy Fruvous: A hilarious and underrated Canadian band from the 1990’s. Video
7. Chicks Dig It by Chris Cagle: Just so you don’t think I only listen to obsciure alternative music I threw in a country song: Video
6. Baby Got Back by Sir Mix-a-Lot: An ode to well…you know. Video
5. The Bad Touch by Bloodhound Gang: A ditty honoring sexual euphemisms. If you are easily offended, don’t listen. Video
4. Pretty Fly for a White Guy by The Offspring: The hilarious and true story of my life. Video
3. Girlfriend in a Coma by The Smiths: An amazingly peppy and upbeat song considering the topic. Video
2. Connecticut is for F—— by Jesus H. Christ and The Four Hornsmen of the Apocalypse: This always makes any list of my favorite songs of any kind. There was no official video. The one I’ve linked to looks home made. Video
1. Pantera Fans in Love by Nerf Herder: Truth be told, this band could have placed several songs on the list. This isn’t the funniest oone, but the other was so inappropriate that I chose not to sully #ThePhilFactor with it. Video
As always, it’s tough limiting these lists to ten. What are some of your favorite funny songs?
Have a great Tuesday! ~Phil
Check out Tenacious D – F*ck Her Gently. It’s rude, but hilarious!
I’m familiar with Tenacious D but I don’t remember that song. Based on your esteemed opinion I shall add it to my iPod
Just don’t play it in front of the kids…
Sadly, my kids are old enough that it wouldn’t shock them at all.
Geez…your posts make me laugh! These are epic picks…# 2, wow, haven’t heard that in well, a lifetime. Thanks for the walk down memory lane. Blessings! “Stacy’s mom has got it goin’ on….” 😉
If you haven’t heard Stacy’s Mom in awhile then your iPod and your life are incomplete.
Thank you for saving me from living an incomplete life. 🙂 Shuffling off to add tunes to my tunemaker.
Glad you help. You inspire with your philosophical posts and I inspire with bad music from decades past.
LOL! As long as we inspire…it is good “grasshoppa”!
Nice list! (I love 88 Lines about 44 Women.) 😀 Have you listened to any Jonathan Coulton? He’s fabulous and hilarious. 🙂
I don’t know him. What song would you recommend I download first?
Let’s see, some of his classic bits of fabulous are Re: Your Brains, The First of May, and Ikea. (There is grown up language and whatnot, just so you know.) I would definitely start with Re: Your Brains. 😀
Will do! Thanks!
OK, I need to get the ones of these I don’t have. And I second Tenacious D 🙂
I’ve remember seeing a Tenacious D video awhile ago but didn’t take it seriously because it was Jack Black
My son is doing a rock summer camp and Stacy’s Mom is going to be one of the songs he’s performing this week. (I am requesting they change the words to Jesse’s mom). As for my additions, the only thing that’s coming to mind is a NY punk band of over the hill punk rockers called Iron Prostrate who had such faves as ‘ Rock n’ Roll Nursing Home’, “I Am Gilligan’ and “Your Mom’s Hot!”.
LOL re Jesse’s Mom. I’ll look up Iron Prostate.

I’ll have to watch later when I’m on wifi
Ok, one of them has some interview footage at the beginning that might be boring; you can skip ahead.
