IMO, "Three Biggest Lies" is the funniest David Allan Coe song.

I also like "Boy Named Sue" and "One Piece at a Time" by Johnny Cash.

Hmmm... also, gotta mention "Major General's Song" from Penzance, "I'm Still a Guy" by Brad Paisley, and "Because I Got High" by Afroman.

Also "eBay" by Weird Al... most of his other great stuff has been mentioned.

 'The Shadow Government' ,  'Bee of the Bird of the Moth' by They Might Be Giants.

Goober Peas always got a smile from me.

'Chiron Beta Prime', 'Re: your brains', 'Mr Fancy Pants', 'skullcrusher mountain' from jonathan coulton.

Angry Bird from Al Stewart makes me giggle as well.

"Werewolves of London" by Warren Zevon.

Shoot, most of Zevon's catalogue qualifies--great stuff, but the lyrics are as witty as hell.

 College is going pretty well. Latin American History is more relative and interesting than I thought it was. Argentina is an interesting model for how the South could have developed.

Of course, its so lonely here. My friends are here, and an annoying love interest, but the missus is away, and so is the cat. As these are my chief companions, it is a bit sad.

I've never eaten so well in my life, however.

Weird Al has a whole ton of very funny parody songs I like. currently digging that "Craigslist" song which is a Doors parody

Mojo Nixon/Skid Roper had some good ones, and the aforementioned B-52s.

Lots of Punk bands have funny songs.
:p

I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.
