Music That's Made You Laugh

<< < (2/12) > >>

KharBevNor:
Laugh in the good way: anything by Tom Lehrer, Crotchduster, Ninja Magic, Lawnmower Deth, Invasion of the Mutant Space Bats of Doom, Blackthrone, Spinal Tap, Metal Duck, Evig Kveld, Satan's Penguins or Kompressor. Much Beatallica, Anal Cunt, Dwarves and GWAR. A lot of Anti-Nowhere League and Stormtroopers of Death (particularly Pre-Menstrual Princess Blues, The Ballad of Jimi Hendrix and Celtic Frosted Flakes).

There's lots that makes me smile with glee, but not really laugh. Anything with King Diamond in it, for example.

As for music to laugh AT, well, I'm not sure, I think a lot of music's bad, but I normally spit rather than laugh.

Actually, thinking about it, Bullet For My Valentine made me laugh whilst crying tears of despair for modern rock music. And when I saw Atreyu live, they had an emo roady, bawling out "TESTIIING! TEEEEESTING!!!" Which was highly amusing. Actually, if you can get over how depressing it is that it actually exists, a lot of emo is pretty funny.

Also, now I'm on a roll, bad power metal bands can be most amusing, but I tend to think of their inadequacies as charming. I mean, I'd pay money to see Winterlong in concert.

Yeah, I know I'm an idiot.

YES.

My brother knows The Element Song all the way through.

SpacemanSpiff:
Ween. Their stuff makes me laugh, in a good way. The HIV Song is sheer genius, for example. And Mister, Would You Please Help My Pony is just disturbing.

Also, Anal Cunt, Die Kassierer and Eisenpimmel make me laugh in what I suppose is a good way. The D4's Exit To The City always makes me grin because of the overuse of standard solos.

Pretty much all German gangsta rap makes me laugh in a sort of feeling sorry for humanity and Germany in particular kind of way.
And Khar: The first time I heard Bullet For My Valentine, I thought it was some kind of joke (I saw the video on MTV which made the whole thing even worse). I kept on waiting for the punchline but it didn't happen. Turns out they're serious after all. Life is hilariously cruel.

KharBevNor:
What's really annoying is, Bullet For My Valentine are awful riff-stealers. My annoying emo mate plays them all the time whilst I'm round his house, mainly because he knows it pisses me off I think, but they have this one song that is basically 'Monochromatic Stains' by Dark Tranquillity except with some depressed welsh bloke wailing over the top about his heart drowning in tears of black blood that rain like a torrent of rejection from the loveless sky of his misery, or something like that. They actually have some lyrics that are worse than Hawthorne Heights, which I hadn't really thought possible.

RUMBLEMOOSE:
Even good power metal can be hilarious. The first time I heard the first five seconds of Dream-Evil's "The Book of Heavy Metal" I completely cracked up, because I wasn't even aware that kind of metal existed.

Also, probably "The Ice of Boston" by the Dismemberment Plan, mostly because of the lyrics but also because of Travis Morrison's imitation of his mother in the middle of the second verse.

And nearly anything by Dufus makes me laugh because it's so out there. On one song he has a bridge that includes nearly a minute of what sounds like him not being able to remember the words or find a note, and panicking, then all of a sudden he comes in really strong and you realize not only the panicking was intentional, but it was all preplanned. Plus he's just got a really weird voice and he changes singing styles like every ten seconds.
