Comedy song

Post by Bullabill » Mon Jan 15, 2018 12:15 pm

Does anyone on here know of a good comedy song the likes of Mrs.Beamish or Joyce the Librarian ?
I need one for our local village concert in a couple of months time.
Hope someone can help. John B.

There must be something in the Monty Python library?

Get thisen on YouTube and have a look through Jake Thackray and Mike Harding vids.
Try Jake's Sister Josephine or Mikes Ackroyds Funeral( more lyrical poem than song)

Good comedy song? Can you be more specific? What's the occasion? Any theme? Colourful language allowed? Do you want it to be more funny or have actual musical merit? Etc.

I suspect it won't help you and you'll be doing well to recreate it but The Four Chords song is amusing and very clever too - see link (WARNING - foul language alert!)

A bit of Dr John Cooper Clarke's poetry always raises a smile - this is a favourite

Anything by the Macc Lads should raise a smile or two.

I find their repertoire usually has something to suit every occasion.

Loads of good stuff from the Les Barker catalogue, although there are more monologues than songs. One song (a mickey-take on a traditional folk song) - "hard cheese of old England". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlzbUyjRGHo. There's a Hollands pies song somewhere as well

Bob Williamson did a lot of amusing parodies of well known songs : eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3JPAW1kttc

As mentioned previously, Jake Thackray did some great stuff.
