In fact, a lot of the stuff on DEATH CERTIFICATE, the first side, is full of great funny lyrics. Cube was on a roll.
Eminem and the Coup seem to claim more than their share of hilarious genius, too, in my opinion.

``She wrecked the car and she was sad; Andso afraid that I'd be mad, but what the heck; Tho' I pretended hard tobe; Guess you could say she saw through me; And hugged my neck.
IN THE YEAR 2525 (EXORDIUM AND TERMINUS) Zager And Evans In the year 2525, if man is still alive, If woman can survive, they may find- In the year 3535 Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies. Everything you think, do, and say Is in the pill you took today. In the year 4545 Ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes. You won't find a thing to chew, Nobody's gonna look at you. In the year 5555 Your arms are hanging limp at your side, You legs got nothing to do, Some machine's doing that for you. In the year 6565 Ain't gonna need no husband, won't need no wife. You'll pick your sons, pick your daughters too From the bottom of a long glass tube. Whoa-oh-oh. In the year 7510 If God's a-coming He ought to make it by then. Maybe he'll look around himself and say, "Guess it's time for the Judgement Day." In the year 8510 God is gonna shake his mighty head. He'll either say, "I'm pleased where man has been" Or tear it down and start again. - Whoa-oh-oh In the year 9595 I'm kinda wondering if man is gonna be alive; He's taken everything this old Earth can give And he ain't put back nothing. Now it's been ten thousand years, Man has cried a billion tears For what he never knew. Now man's reign is through. But throughout eternal night, The twinkling of starlight, So very far away, Maybe it's only yesterday... In the year 2525 (etc...)

good trick for manipulating man/woman (target) at karaoke bar is talk about how things are so gloomy these days using eco/war genetix blah blah general sci fi stuff (make up a story perhaps) and freak them out
you'll find one of the few good songs on nu zilant karaoke machines is ".. year 2525" so have it booked (before beginning to get too predatory with target(s), like they don't see you book it, for instance)
so when you're really worrying the shit out of person(s) (or perhaps even freak out the sister who's with him (ie get the chance to agree with his sister that it _is_ a scary song because maybe his whole family thinks it's a really scary song) -- doesn't matter how scared you are)
then your name get's called mysteriously out of the blue (and make that really freaky like the pub want's you to sing and you're being forced against your will eg) and you go up and sing that song you know so well, and it _does_ generally scare people in my experience, so you'll have by now a selection of people to reassure for the rest of the night from that pub into the palm of your hand to alternatively scare/fuck/reassure to _your_ heart's content
in my experience just karaokeing _that_ song out of the blue will freak out quite a number of people who're into karaoke as they compare you to what their partner's capable of singing or talking or thinking about etc..

it's that motherzappa's "Freak Out" (1st zappa and 1st true double album in rock) song "trouble coming everyday" where shit-hot-(w)h(it)e frank raps along the lines of "how the niggers feel the cold and the sun's got so much soul" and sweats it watching the poor old police vs. the blacks in the Watts riots on TV ("with the [whiskey] passing 'round") as he's reclining on w/beer
his double-black delivery on _only_this_song_ is "rap" ( the way the "cat's that he won't let work with him 'cause they smoke in the studio, dig their own ideas, work as a team etc. " talk )

#2 the 'girl's "Nepoleon and Josephine" single subverts up raps "man, i know what i'm talking about, uh , y'_know_, know what i'm saying"(well the 'girls don't resort to cliche, if you know what i'm saying) machismo word to the wise guy crock, by assuming the position of a screwed-up all-american bad-ass rapping to one of his fellows, like "that's how it is, man, the white man will not understand these languages or equations" as _naieve_ _misinterpretation_ of conspiracy theory, rap rhyme, black cop white cop and especially the whole "i'm channelling the _real_ _media_ in my head man";
in both cases none of the above are the actual words, it's much funnier/faster when paid at full speed, but most importantly, the topicality of "meninkahki mashh6077" type stuff -- but real words "zimbabwe" for instance ..

Probably that Felix Unger, the neat freak, would never drool at the dinner table.
What really confuses me is "you say you like Felix Unger" line. Is "you" being used as "you are," as in "you say you pattern yourself after Felix Unger, but you must be lying as you're drooling at the dinner table?" Or should it be read as "you express an admiration for Felix Unger, but your lack of table manners force me to question that statement?"

"For cryin' out loud, my style is wild, so book meNot long is how long that this rhyme took me"
"I make them devils cower to the Caucus Mountains" (uh, where?)
"Yeah Onyx, Wu-Tang, on tracks we gang bangChitty Bang Bang, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang"
and a few seconds later:
"Aiyyo you ready for the ferocious, atrociousSupercalifragalisticexpialla dope shit"
Redman's "I'll Bee Dat" builds its genius across the song with this theme:
"My first name must be 'he ain't shit'Cause every time I'm in the car bitches be like, 'he ain't shit!'"
"My middle name must be 'fuck you'Cause every time I'm in the hood niggers be like, 'fuck you!'"
and, in the verse:
"Remember you, bitch? Shit, I forget my last name."
which, taken together, suggests that Redman has no idea who he is at all, which makes me laugh. Also: "A ghetto like D&D fuckin' with D; you'll be on 'Banned From TV, Part Three." and "Soon as I walk in, dogs are barking; Haters play them back, I stay in front like handicap parking."

and:
"Whirlwind tornadoes in the rain-forest if you say so,KRS and the Last Emperor, raw like the Green Hornet and KatoZach de la Rocha brings the en'Rage'd flowBut all three drop science to become the most powerful alliance since NATO."
amazingly, neither these awkward metaphors, nor the chorus's ineffably clumsy "You claim I'm sellin' crack...but you be doin' that," nor even the echo effect on "NATO" (nato ato ato ato) come from Zach de la Rocha, who mostly lays low and lets the so-called Last Emperor drop all these terrible rhymes...KRS-One mostly limits himself to some "yuh yuh yuh" stuff...it's a fairly weak track overall but strangely compelling...

....what does he really mean? I mean at first it's obvious and kicks ass and you're totally sold, and then it's like - but wait, LL, it's implicit in the idea of a comeback that someone has been around for years, sucking.

I dunno what stats to check on this, but usually don't we label things as "comeback albums" or comeback seasons for sports teams or whatever when they've been around but have been putting out crap? I'm thinking of AMG boilerplate like, I dunno -
The Sorry Sods spent the 80s in the woods commercially, releasing an intermittent stream of albums that failed to ignite the charts or much critical love. Perhaps sensing things were amiss, they consciously drafted Les Invisibles as a tour de force, sidestepping the genre experiments of their previous two LPs and delivering a guest-star-packed encapsulation of the sound that originally brought them fame; minus a few contemporary production touches, it could easily have fit in between Malamaurocking and Six Years On The Underground. The formula work, and the record delivered a solid comeback for the band, who then proceeded to squander the momentum once again over the next few years...
