Some of my favorites are from Morris Minor and the Majors, including "Stutter Rap" and "Here is the chorus"
"Well no-one ever sees what I mean From the age of n-n-n-n-n-n-thirteen We've all been caught in a m-m-mouth trap So join with us in the st-st-st-st-st-st-st-stutter rap"
"This is the chorus, the fabulous chorus It goes round and around and gets into your brain It's the chorus, the fabulous chorus And thirty seconds from now, you're gonna hear it again
This is the keychange, this is the keychange It's a standard device to stop us sounding mundane It's the keychange, the fabulous keychange We've done it the once, so we won't do it again And if you're lucky lucky lucky, you won't hear us again"
Classic!

AAAAAARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!
I HATE comedy songs!
I've NEVER heard a single one that hasn't made me want to tear off my own ears and run for the hills!
In fact, I'm still reeling from the shock of Ultravox's sublime "Vienna" being kept off the top of the singles chart by Joe Dolce's "Shaddupa Your Face" .......and that was 25 years ago!

I USED to like Weird Als? versions of Beat It and Bad, of course the videos that went with them really made the comic scene complete.

Hey, CT! I DO remember that one, if I'm correct on the guess. Is that the one with a guy who sounds like John Wayne.
Not only that, but I also remember watching parts of a music video for that song!
The "singer" or "rapper" wasn't seen, but only shown in close-up shots of cowboy boots! Posted by CT......The Son Of Scarface (Member # 2903) on :
"The Ha, The Ha,....The Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha"
Your All Right With Me StevenHw I can't believe you remember that song dude!
That was a CRAZY AS* Song was'nt it!?
"STAY COOL" Steve Stevens!

What about Chunky A?
Posted by HipsterMom27 (Member # 2161) on :
My dad used to sing "They're coming to take me away, away..." to us when we were kids...that's an old one for sure.
I sure do remember "The Streak" and all of Ray Stevens' other kooky stuff.
Weird Al was refreshingly funny in the early days...remember when he'd do 'Al TV' on MTV? I think he did a great job respectfully poking fun at the video craze.
"Rappin Rodney" was great: No respect, no respect! RIP Al Czernik.

Cindy....I used to love Chunky A !
"Chunky-Chunky A"!
I had forgot about that one.
(good choice)

I used to have the vinyl 45 for THEY'RE COMING TO TAKE ME AWAY. When you played the B-side it was THEY'RE COMING TO TAKE ME AWAY backwords.
Posted by rocksteadyflamethrower (Member # 1065) on :
Sorry for bringing this thread back up, but the artist who performed "They're Coming To Take Me Away (Ha-Ha)" was named Napoleon the Eighth (It was actually in Roman numerals, but I'm not good with those).
Anyway, I have this book on the 70s L.A punk rock scene entitled "We've Got The Neutron Bomb" (or possibly "We Got..."). Anyway, it turns out that Napoleon, the artist who performed the song, is actually California music scenester Kim Fowley, a scummy man with a mouth so foul he makes Andrew "Dice" Clay sound like the Pope.
Just figured I would pass that along.
Sincerely,
John Kilduff
Posted by mamamiasweetpeaches (Member # 1715) on :
wasnt Kim Fowley the Svengali behind THE RUNAWAYS? (Or am I mistaken?)
Posted by rocksteadyflamethrower (Member # 1065) on :
One and the same, mamamia.
I read that book and Christ, was that guy nasty. He seemed like such a jerk to hang around that it's amazing that he launched all those acts.

I enjoy I Wanna Eff Your Sister, and Dennis Leary's Traditional Irish Drinking Song:
They come over here and they take all our land. They chop off our heads and they boil them in oil. Our children are leaving and we have no heads. We drink and we sing and we drink and we die.
We have no heads. No, we have no heads!
They come over here and they chop off our legs. They cut off our hands and put nails in our eyes. O'Grady is dead and O'Hanrahan's gone. We drink and we die and continue to drink.
O'Hanrahan...No, O'Hanrahan!

Strange...I didn't know that Denis Leary's drinking song was an 80s comedy song. You could've fooled me;).

This just said comedy songs, not 80s comedy songs. I apologize if I've done some horrible wrong to you.

I always liked the Tai Kwan Leep comedy routine and the song that went with it, "Boot to the Head"

Whoa, Brode, cool your jets. You must not have noticed the smiley. I was only joking around. It's a running joke on these forums about how I feel everything should be in its' proper place. Therefore, I made a joke about your mention of that Denis Leary song because it was released on a 90s album and to my mind didn't fit in with a post on an 80s music forum. I didn't want to be a (bleep)-on about it so I made a joke.
Once again, this is proof of how I can't tell a joke to save my life.
Don't take it seriously...I beg you.

It's an 80's song in spirit.

I don't hear any 80s spirit in it...It sounds more like a Nirvana or Soundgarden song (Yes, I know both of these groups released albums in the 80s, but they didn't have an 80s sound).
I say that this thread should be moved to the Rewind Social Club section if songs by Denis Leary and Tenacious D are being bought up in what supposedly is an *EIGHTIES* music forum.
Sincerely,
John Kilduff
Posted by Brode (Member # 3732) on :
JB and KG are definitely not inspired by Nirvana and Soundgarden. Tribute sounds more like freaking Led Zeppelin (especially if you have the HBO version where they 'tribute' Stairway) than something Cornell or Cobain would come up with.
Posted by Smayt Gateford. (Member # 1500) on :
I know this is in the 80's forum,but i thought we were just talking 'comedy' songs in general. As an added fact,I heard that Jack Black has stated his music is influenced a little by 80's rock bands. And the video is definately something that could have been made 20 years ago-ish.
