Thirteen Lyrics that make me giggle

May 13, 2009 on 11:20 am | In Uncategorized | 15 Comments

Sometimes a lyric in a song just makes me laugh.  Sometimes it’s because the lyric is so cleverly crafted it just hums – like the Aerosmith lyric below. Sometimes it’s just fun and silly – like Weird Al or the B-52s or Ray Stevens. And sometimes a lyric is funny because it wasn’t meant to be – but it’s so ridiculous that you just giggle. There are several of those here.

Do you have a lyric that strikes your funny bone? Share!

1. “My hump, my hump, my hump, my lovely lady lumps.” – from My Humps by The Black Eyed Peas (totally self-explanatory – can you see this in a romance novel? When he ran a hand over her lovely lady lumps, she went wild with desire.)

2. “Gimme a ring-a-ling when you want some ding-a-ling.” – from Ding-a-ling by Hi Town Djs (I swear I’m not making this up)

3. “And I’m too sexy for my hat/Too sexy for my hat what do you think about that” from I’m Too Sexy by Right Said Fred (his hat? srsly? I kinda got the shirt – but… the hat?)

4. “Don’t give me no lip I’ve got enough of my own” – from Falling in Love (is hard on the knees) by Aerosmith (and this one is clever, too. giggle inducing only because it’s Steven Tyler singing it)

5. “Hop in my Chrysler, it’s as big as a whale and it’s about to set sail!/I got me a car, it seats about 20″ – from Love Shack by the B-52s (I love the image of this – I knew a guy in high school with a giant yellow chrysler or something, and this song always makes me think of the Banana Boat)

6.”Oh, I lose control/When you serve filet of sole.” – from Filet of Sole by the Dead Milkmen (because we all know that serving your man filet of sole will make him a lust-crazed animal. Truthfully, though, I find the Dead Milkmen to have exceedingly clever, socially satirical lyrics. and some really offensive ones. lol)

7. “The day the squirrel went berserk./In the First Self-Righteous Church/Of that sleepy little town of Pascagoula.” – from Mississippi Squirrel Revival by Ray Stevens (okay, that whole song puts me in major fits of giggles – actually, most Ray Stevens songs do)

8. “My anaconda don’t want none unless you got buns hun!” – from Baby Got Back by Sir Mixalot (another self-explanatory one)

9. “Got skills, I’m a Champion of DND/MC Escher that’s my favorite MC” – from White and Nerdy by Weird Al Yankovic (you’d be hard pressed to find a Weird Al song that didn’t make me giggle)

10. “And if you tell my heart/My achy breaky heart/ He might blow up and kill this man” – from Achy Breaky Heart by Billy Ray Cyrus (come on, you know you’re laughing, too)

11. “She had dumps like a truck truck truck/ Thighs like what what what” – from Thong Song by Sisqo (seriously? bwahahahahaha!)

12. “Take a piece of your pie and say bye/Or be honest and rub your thighs?” – from Rico Suave by Gerardo (oh the cheese of it! it’s like if mantitty were a song!)

13. “She had taken the bed and the chest of drawers/The mirror, the TV, the guitar cord/ My remote control and my old skateboard” – from She’s Crafty by the Beastie Boys (for some reason, the inclusion of the remote and the guitar cord here crack me up).

  1. Oh, these are great – and I love your comment on Number one.

    Dang it, now I have “Oreos” by Free Hot Lunch in my head…

  2. MC Frontalot is so overlooked.

    “I stand 77 feet tall, I’ve got 8 balls, and alla ya’ll are subject to my thrall…” :)

  3. You got me giggling. Except for “too sexy for my shirt.” A guy starts singing that and I want to slap him upside the head.

  4. The unintentionally funny ones are always my favorites, but I have to say a lot of songs are just so earnest it just hurts! LOL!

    Although, just for the sheer awfulness of #1, I might have to smack you with a wet noodle.

    Just sayin’! ;)

    Ciao!
    Happy TT!

  7. I love Baby Got Back. Makes me laugh and dance! When I want fun music that makes me laugh, I always play They Might Be Giants. My kids even get a giggle out of “Particle Man.” It’s a silly take on the superhero. This stanza gets me, just the simplicity of it, versus something like a full blown scene of Spiderman vs. Doc Ock.

    Triangle Man, Triangle Man
    Triangle man hates Particle Man
    They have a fight, Triangle wins
    Triangle Man

  8. Ella – I thought of doing some of the They Might Be Giants lyrics, but the delivery is all important on those. A lot of Dead Milkmen songs are that way – the sideways delivery is what makes them so funny.

  10. LOL. Great list. I think I’ve only heard half of those.

    Pretty much anything by Weird Al is bound to make giggle.

  13. LOL!

    Should I admit that I once led my co-workers in a sing-a-long to “Baby Got Back”? I used to have those lyrics memorized.

  14. I think I’ve only heard Love Shack. lol Some lyrics were clearly never meant to be actually read.
    Happy T13
