Unintentionally Hilarious Songs/Singers

[de selby]

I think yer man from Snap was paying homage to Eric B & Rakim and their 1987 hit "I Ain't No Joke"

I got a question, it's serious as cancer
Who can keep the average dancer
Hyper as a heart attack nobody smiling
Cuz you're expressing the rhyme that I'm styling

Hmmm... It's obviously an important question, but not as serious as that which threatens the lives of millions of people. No, not in my opinion anyway.

[Partridge's Love Child]

I heard the new Slipknot single this morning.  It is a gloriously overblown piece of tosh, not dissimilar in its ridiculousness to the aforementioned System of a Down record.  Plus, the visual aspect of the band is never far from your mind whenever you hear their name.

[Jed Maxwell]

"It's murder on the dhhaance floor, but you better not kill the groove."

A Fantastic lyric, -even without the hilarious pronunciation.

[Ambient Sheep]

Yeah, I always thought that Snap lyric was a superb candidate for the NME (or was it MM)'s old "Bismillah" absurd lyric column.

Another favourite (which I would have sent in had it not been in the very first week) is from ELP's Still...You Turn Me On from the Brain Salad Surgery album, a powerful and tender ballad with this in it:

Every day I get a little sadder
A little madder
Someone get me...a ladder.

[Ambient Sheep]

And who can forget Wang Chung's Dance Hall Days:

Take your baby by the ears
And play upon her darkest fears

Another 80's classic from King - Love and Pride

Start your journey early or maybe later
(get your boots on)
Look for rainbows it's cloudy
take your hairdryer blow them all away
