Funny Music


In a scene often rampant with egomaniacs, pretentious pricks, too-obscure-for-you bands and self-indulgent artists, it can be refreshing to encounter musicians who don't take themselves too seriously. Here are a few:

Jack Black/Tenacious D
Behind all that funny, Jack Black packs some pretty impressive musical chops. This one is just him in a clip from School of Rock.

Legend Of The Rent - Your Not Hardcore - School Of Rock

Barenaked Ladies
Though not all of their songs are meant to be humorous, songs like "If I Had a Million Dollars" and "Grade Nine" are charmingly funny, like those friends you had in high school who could always make you laugh.

If I Had $1,000,000 - Barenaked Ladies

Flight of the Conchords
A little underground, a little comedy club, this duo is nothing short of hilarious.

Business Time - Flight of the Conchords

Adam Sandler
Funny and somehow cute even when he's being offensive. (Maybe it's just because I'll always see him as the wedding singer...or Billy Madison)

The Thanksgiving Song - Adam sandler

Weird Al Yankovic
The father of comedic music.

amish paradise - Weird Al Yankovic
