[QUOTE=moltovir]I forgot the title of the song, but the first line is "I'm too sexy for my shirt". [/QUOTE]

"Too Sexy" by Right said Fred, yes it's hillarious

Monty Python's philosopher's song always makes me smile:

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out-consume
Schopenhauer and Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.
There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist.
John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away
Half a crate of whiskey every day.
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
Hobbes was fond of his dram,
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart:
"I drink, therefore I am"
Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed;
A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed!

One that always makes me smile is "too high for the supermarket" by The Uninvited

Songs that always makes me smile are the songs that the minstrels in MP's Search for the Holy Grail.

bravely bold sir robin rode forth from camelot
he was not afraid to die oh brave sir robin
he was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways
brave brave brave brave sir robin
he was not the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp
or to have his eyes gouged out and his elbows broken
to have his kneecaps split and his body burned away
and his limbs all hacked and mangled brave sir robin
his head smashed in and his heart cut out
and his liver removed and his bowels unplugged
and his nostrils raped and his bottom burned off and.....

Any song off the Spinal Tap soundtrack. The soundtrack to Rocky Horror is also brilliant. Jeff Foxworthy has some great stuff.

Yeah, but that's not weird. It's just a damn good South African song.

Here's the story behind it.

Sorry for the spam.

Me, the only Wierd Al songs I've heard in full are "Smells Like Nirvana," "Eat It," "Fat," "Dare to Be Stupid," and "Amish Paradise." The only album of his I've got is a tape of 'In 3D' that my mom got at a tag sale.

Speaking of "Dare to Be Stupid," that supposedly was a 'style cover' (I think that's what he called it on Behind the Music.) of the band Devo. It's one of the few of his (semi-)famous songs that isn't an actual cover of a song.

I have to admit, though, that one thing that really capitalizes on a songs wierdness or hilarity is if it has a funny video. For instance, the Megadeth song 'Sweating Bullets' isn't all that funny, but the video does help to really lighten up some stuff in the song. 'All Float On' is a hint more funny in song context, and the video is rather silly, making it somewhat funnier than 'Sweating Bullets.'

Another song which is made laughable purely by the video is 'Black Hole Sun' (in forget who by) Think barbies on BBQ's!!!

Interessting, thanks.

The African song may not be strange (there) but The Lion Sleeps Tonight still is a bit strange to me.

As well as the gin soaked boy, by the divine comedy, my lovely horse is a good on by them as well.

My lovely horse
My lovely horse, running through the field
Where are you going, with your fetlocks blowing in the wind?

I want to shower you with sugar lumps, and ride you over fences
Polish your hooves every single day, and bring you to the horse dentist

My lovely horse, you're a pony no more
Running around with a man on your back, like a train in the night

Little Yellow Spider by Devendra Banhart

It's a gentle sweet song, poetic and reminiscent of Cat Stevens.

Big Bottoms by Spinal Tap. Can't really elaborate on this one.

This song.
I won't say anything more, as no words can capture the spirit of this amazing song.
