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.

"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
