Title: Comedy/novelty/parody songs
Post by: 64Guitars on October 13, 2010, 02:27:07 PM
Since Comedy/novelty/parody songs is currently the most popular choice in the theme fest poll, I thought it would be fun to post some YouTube videos of favourite Comedy/novelty/parody songs to inspire everyone for the festival (assuming it wins).

As BeatlesFest and PirateFest come to a close, this one seems especially appropriate since it's a Beatles parody and features a pirate in the video.

"Can't Afford to Drive My Car" by Bob Rivers
(Parody of "Drive My Car" by The Beatles)

Asked a girl to go driving with me
See the country in my SUV
Pulled into the station, the sign was obscene
The pump was hooked up to a cash machine

I can't afford to drive my car
Fifty bucks won't get me far
Baby you can push my car
And maybe I'll help you
Beep beep it ain't cheep, yeah

I had a friend, said his hybrid is good
Cuz they've got batteries under the hood
Owning a Prius is all very cool
But I've got a gas hog that guzzles the fuel

I can't afford to drive my car
Fifty bucks won't get me far
Gonna have to push that car
Or maybe I'll buy a mule
Beep beep it ain't cheep, yeah
Beep beep it ain't cheep, yeah
Beep beep it ain't cheep, yeah...



So, everyone start searching at YouTube and post your favourites.

Which artists to search for? These links should help...

"Polka Dot Undies" by Bowser & Blue

Well, I went for a drive in my pickup truck.
I picked up my girl, 'cause I wanted to
Show her my gloves, 'cause she had on her mitts,
And I blushed brightly when she showed me her
Perfume that she buys whenever Avon calls,
So I took off my pants, and I showed her my
Polka-dot undies!
My polka-dot undies!

Yeah, my polka-dot undies from Miracle Mart.
I said, "Look, be careful, I think I'm gonna
Turn a sharp corner, and go up on the grass."
She leaned out the window, and I thought I saw her
Pointing to something that flashed by real quick.
She said, "Hey, look at that! It looks just like your
Polka-dot undies!"
Polka-dot undies!

Yeah, my polka-dot undies that I wear back-to-front.
She smiled and she said, "Have you seen my
Brother's new car? The one that he stole?"
Then she asked me to look up her
Whole damn family, and I went into shock
When I found out it was her sister who really liked
Polka-dot undies!
Polka-dot undies!
Yeah!

[instrumental]

Well, I took her out to dinner, but on one thing she was firm:
She'd swallow almost anything, except for
Stories that her brother didn't like birds,
But hung around leather bars, and liked to eat
Fish and chips, and he still sucked his thumb.
I said, "I don't mind!" And she kissed me on my
Polka-dot undies!
My polka-dot undies!

I kissed her softly, and I said, "I'll tell you what.
Let's roll up the windows, and I'll eat your
Last bar of chocolate - the one that's in the parcel."
She said, "No, no, no", and she called me a
Taxi. And I said, "I beg your pardon!
But get me home real fast before I lose my
Polka-dot undies!"
Polka-dot undies!

The moral of this story, like a jewel it is gleamin'.
But you'll never find it in a glass of warm
Milk or tea, 'cause it will not fit,
And you probably already think I am full of
Vague innuendos and double-meanin' rhymes.
But I'll tell you that obscenity is all in your
Polka-dot undies!
Your polka-dot undies!
Yeah, your edible undies!
Your polka-dot undies!
Yeah!

"Another One Rides the Bus" by "Weird Al" Yankovic
Parody of "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen

Ridin' in a bus down the boulevard,
And the place was pretty packed.
I couldn't find a seat, so I had to stand,
With the perverts in the back.
It was smellin' like a locker room.
There was junk all over the floor.
We're already packed in like sardines,
But we're stoppin' to pick up more.
Look out!

Another one rides the bus-ah.
Another one rides the bus-ah.
And another comes on,
And another comes on.
Another one rides the bus-ah.
Hey!
He's gonna sit by you.
Another one rides the bus.

There's a suitcase pokin' me in the ribs.
There's an elbow in my ear.
There's a smelly old bum standin' next to me.
He hasn't showered in a year.
Well, I think I'm missin' a contact lens.
I think my wallet's gone.
And I think this bus is stoppin' again,
To let a couple more freaks get on.
Look out!

          Another one rides the bus-ah.
Another one rides the bus-ah.
And another comes on,
And another comes on.
Another one rides the bus-ah.
Hey!
He's gonna sit by you.
Another one rides the bus.

Another one rides the bus.
Another one rides the bus--ow!
Another one rides the bus--hey, hey!
Another one rides the bus--hey-y-y-y!

The window doesn't open, and the fan is broke,
And my face is turnin' blue.
I haven't been in a crowd like this
Since I went to see The Who.
Well, I should'a got off a couple miles ago,
But I couldn't get to the door.
There isn't any room for me to breathe.
Now we're gonna pick up more, yeah!

Another one rides the bus-ah.
Another one rides the bus-ah.
And another comes on,
And another comes on.
Another one rides the bus-ah.
Hey!
He's gonna sit by you.
Another one rides the bus.

"We Love Mike Barney Fife" by Guns 'N' Moses
Parody of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start The Fire"]

Andy Griffith on TV,
Sheriff Taylor
Mayberry,
Mount Pilot,
North Carolina,
Raleigh

Fishin' hole,
Earnest T.,
Courthouse,
Opie,
Goober Pyle,
Gomer Pyle, (Golllllly!)

Aunt Bea in the kitchen,
Lousy pickles,
Good friend chicken,
Helen Crump,
Otis drunk,
Emmett's Fixit Shop

Criminals would come to town,
Fearless Fife tracks 'em down,
His eye would pop,
His gun would drop,
He's our favourite TV cop

We love Barney Fife...
He's the Deputy of Mayberry
We love Barney Fife...
He upholds the law with Opie's pa

     Floyd the barber cuttin' hair,
Howard Sprague,
Barber chair,
Barney's job is never done,
Law and order's in his blood,
His shaky gun is at your service,
Catchin' crooks makes him nervous,
Thelma Lou's offical stud,
Nip it
Nip it in the bud
(This is Deputy Fife speakin'
And I'm armed!!!)

Andy plays the guitar,
Barney's in the squad car,
Driving Mayberry nuts,
He's a law enforcement klutz

Ticket writing everyone,
He's got one bullet for his gun,
Bad guys are on the run,
Book 'em Barney
Murder one!

We love Barney Fife...
He's the Deputy of Mayberry...
Andy Griffith is our life
(Yeah yeah yeah),
When the show is done
We'll watch another one
(Re-run, re-run, re-run)
WE LOVE BARNEY FIFE!

"Earache My Eye (featuring Alice Bowie)" by Cheech & Chong

My momma talkin' to me tryin' to tell me how to live
But I don't listen to her 'cause my head is like a sieve
My daddy, he disowned me 'cause I wear my sister's clothes
He caught me in the bathroom with a pair of pantyhose

My basketball coach, he done kicked me off the team
For wearin' high-heel sneakers and actin' like a queen

   ------ lead guitar ------

The world's comin' to an end, I don't even care
As long as I can have a limo and my orange hair
And it don't bother me if people think I'm "funny"
'Cause I'm a big rock star and I'm makin' lots of money
  money, money, money, money, money, money
  Ahhh!  Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...

  I'm so bloody rich!  Ha ha ha ha
  I own apartment buildings and shopping centers!  Ha ha ha ha
  And I only know three chords!  Ha ha ha ha

Bisexual bisexual bisexual
I want to try it
Bisexual bisexual bisexual
I want to date a bisexual
I want to date a dyke
I want to date a bisexual
I can't decide which sex I like

Is it wrong? Is it right?
If you're weird I'm uptight!
Is that strange?
Let me say, man, guys were never my scene
But I do like show tunes
I want guys!
I want girls!
Why deprive half the world?
Am I gay? Am I straight?
I don't think I'm a Peter Pan, Nancy boy or girly man,
Cause all I want to be is'

     Bisexual bisexual bisexual
I just might be a bisexual bisexual bisexual
I think I might be bisexual
There's nothing I don't like
I want to try it bisexual
I can't decide which'

Bisexual dating's the in-thing today
That Brad Pitt's such a cutie, Oh, yeah
Taking your swings from both sides of the plate
You get twice as much booty, Oh, yeah
On your marks, get set, go

Bisexual bisexual bisexual

There are lots of great parodies at bobrivers.com (http://www.bobrivers.com).

What An Ugly Man He Was
(Parody of "Lucky Man" by Emerson Lake & Palmer)

He had one eyebrow
And pimples by the score
And when he was walking
His knuckles dragged on the floor

Oooh what an ugly man he was
Oooh what an ugly man he was

White flakes of dandruff
They fell off of his head
And Coke bottle glasses
And breath like Mr. Ed

Oooh what an ugly man he was
Oooh what an ugly man he was

He went by himself
To his high school senior prom
The day he was born
The Doctor slapped his mom

Oooh what an ugly man he was
Oooh what an ugly man he was

"Yellow Snow! Yellow Snow! Yellow Snow!"
(Parody of "Let it Snow")

Oh, the weather outside was whitening
'Til the dog did something frightening
He's got no other place to go
Yellow snow, yellow snow, yellow snow

And he doesn't show signs of stopping
As he sniffs around his dropping
You see him everywhere you go
In the snow, yellow snow, yellow snow

When he finally goes outside
He'll be frolicking 'round in the storm
He'll be marking our yard with pride
You can tell by the steam that it's warm

When the snow begins its thawing
It reveals those puppy drawings
He's a frisky little pooch van Gogh
Yellow snow, yellow snow, yellow snow

Come here, Yeller. Come on boy. Good doggie.

Oh, not on Frosty.

He'll be marking our yard with pride
You can tell by the steam that it's warm

Well, he's happy and his tail starts waggin'
But the snowman's left side is saggin'
There's a little puddle right below
Yellow snow, yellow snow, yellow snow
Yellow snow, yellow snow

Yellow snow
Little patches of yellow snow
Yellow snow
Little patches where Fido goes

"You Chesty Thing"
(Parody of "You Sexy Thing" by Hot Chocolate)

I believe in silicone
Where are they from?
You chesty thing (busty thing, you)
Can't believe them breasticles
Bet they weigh a ton
You chesty thing

Where did they come from baby?
How did you grow them honeydew?
You gotta know they're everything I prayed for
You gotta know they're worth more than you paid for
Yes I know that I'm one of the homely people
But now you're dancing next to me in 38 double-Ds

I believe in silicone
Here they come
You chesty thing (chesty thing, you)
Nice and round and spherical
You chesty thing

Oh! Slap me
I love the way you shake em' baby
I love the way you shake em' Mama
Come over here and slap me baby
Love the way you flap around me

"You Don't Smell Like Flowers"
Parody of "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" by Barbra Streisand and Neil Diamond

You don't take a shower
You don't put the seat down
You hardly cook for me anymore
When I come home from the bar
Where I spend half the day

And I remember when your manners didn't bug me
You used to aim when you'd pee
Now after frank 'n beans, late at night
Well, I can't hold it in so I just let it fly
And it stinks like a meadow full of steaming cow pies

You could say "excuse me"
You could turn the fan on
You don't smell like flowers anymore

"Got to Get Rid of My Wife"
(Parody of "Got to Get You Into My Life" by The Beatles)

I was alone when Linda died
I didn't know what else was out there
Before you know I took a bride
My kids all said I'd lost my mind there
Ooh now you claim I mistreat you
Ooh got real drunk and then beat you
Wouldn't even share your breasts with our tyke

Got to get you out of my life

Our love was true I did believe
I thought a pre-nup would be unfair
I am a fool, what can I say?
Cuz even Yoko said don't go there
Ooh now don't let me don't hit you
Ooh where that prosthetic fit you
Please just hop away from my life

Got to get rid of my wife

Get the leach out of my life

I was alone I took a bride
I didn't know what it would cost me
I picked a witch I must be high
I must've lost my frickin' mind there
It pains me just to see you
I hope the fans they don't believe you

"Her Majesty Heather"
(Parody of "Her Majesty" by The Beatles)

Thought Heather was a pretty nice girl
But she got some awful things to say
Thought Heather was a pretty nice girl
Now I'd like her to go away

She told the papers that I grabbed her throat
And tried to stab her with a half a glass of wine
Thought Heather was a pretty nice girl
But now she wants to rob me blind
No no
Now she wants to rob me blind

She better be careful or I'll blow off her other leg.

I hope my feigned grump didn't cause you to halt in you search for your silliness in the YouTube stakes.  Or maybe you just got fed up with talking to yourself?

I've got some new headphones now and although I can't yet speak for their audio accuracy - they're a lot more comfortable and cut out a lot of unnecessary noises.

"Sorry dear I didn't quite catch that - say again."

On with the show.

Can i use that in the booklet to my upcoming Monkey-album? ;D
