Funniest Song Lyrics:
"Zoot Suit Riot"
The Funny Lyrics: Za-zoot zaye-yow
Za-zoot za zoo-zay Blay aboo-diya Zay zay zay Za-zoot zaye-aye-aye yow Za-zoot za zoo-zay Zay zoo za zezzle Day day day Why They're Funny: These eight lines, which appear during the bridge, are basically scat singing (and are sequentially echoed instrumentally). They just sound funny when sung. When Weird Al parodied this song into "Grapefruit Diet", he used actual words in these lines.
