Music Trivia -> Lighter Side of Serious Bands -> Latest Entries
Some bands don't wait around for Weird Al to parody one of their songs, and take a pre-emptive strike and write a silly song of their own.
The 20 most recent entries are listed below. There are 63 entries in this section.
"His Last Walk," Blessthefall
The song is about 10 minutes long, but there is about 6 minutes of empty noise after the lyrics stop about 2 minutes from the start. Af about 7 minutes the band can be heard clapping and then singing a song that goes "Tripe Dog on a Sunday afternoon with my yellow duck, his name is Boo..."
TBuck
"Get Back," The Beatles
At the beginning of the album version, they start out singing, "Sweet Lorretta Martin thought she was a loner, but she was a frying pan"
jdizzy
"Leave Out All The Rest," Linkin Park
At the end of the song, you can hear the band chatting.

"Piss On The Wall," J. Geils Band
This song is the last track on Freeze Frame and the title says it all
Tim Hall
"Don't Sit Down," David Bowie
This is a 30 second song where Bowie just says "Don't sit down" while laughing.
Paul Warren
"Silly Shoes," Relient K
A stupid freestyle rap with them rapping about pizza parties, the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, and rhyming with orange.

"When I'm Stuck, I Turn To Duct Tape," Something To Do
A Ska tribute to the world's greatest plumbing repair tape? Sounds funny, and it is! "Never had much luck with nails, Whoa-oh! I turn to duct tape! Staples always seem to fail, Whoa-oh! I turn to Duct tape!
Crystal
"Life's Been Good," Joe Walsh
Well, I can see the lighter side of this but it can't be very good when you have to sing about trashing a hotel room, doing 185 MPH in a Massarati and loosing your driver's license, and getting so drunk you can't even find your way out of the bar. LOL!
Celeste
"Todo Los Dolores," Devendra Banhart
Begins a verse, flubs...and then starts over again, intentionally kept the "out-take"
Ra'akone
"The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite," R.E.M.
Michael Stipe can be heard laughing at his own inability to pronounce "Dr. Suess" correctly.

"Sit Down, You're Rockin' The Boat," Don Henley
Don Henley is best known as the front man of the Eagles, whose music was known for its sometimes poetic style. Mr. Henley took that style to a successful solo career in which he recorded several songs with social commentary. Then sometime in the early '90s, he recorded a laid-back rendition of this lighthearted tune from the classic musical 'Guys & Dolls,' and it got a surprising amount of radio play.
Raphael
"Cobwebs & Strange," The Who
One of Keith Moon's few compositions with the band, it's an instrumental that sounds very much like a demented circus parade. Each member of the band contributes on trombone, penny whistle and ukelele.
Agrimorfee
"Song of the Viking," Todd Rundgren
This song seems very Monty Python-ish. Singing on how the Vikings live.
Paul Warren
"Ordinary Average Guy," Joe Walsh
This song is about someone being average. And when you sing about dog doo, you really can't be serious.
Paul Warren
"Short People," Randy Newman
This song satires prejudice by saying that short people shouldn't have a reason to live.
Paul Warren
"Cover of the Rolling Stone," Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show
This entire song is about wishing to be on Rolling Stone Magazine and there's a lot of satire in this song.
Paul Warren
"Berkshire Poppies," Traffic
This song is about drugs and you even hear the band laughing throughout!
