silly as a compliment, silly as an insult - interpret this question any way you wish...

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 22:22 (twenty-one years ago)

as a total compliment

Crom "The Cocaine Wars 1974-1989"

― James Slone (Freon Trotsky), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 23:24 (twenty-one years ago)

"A Evening With Wild Man Fisher" (compliment)

― peepee (peepee), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 23:29 (twenty-one years ago)

"Yep" by Duane Eddy

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 23:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Slayer - Reign in Blood (serious answer)

― Bumfluff, Wednesday, 21 July 2004 00:00 (twenty-one years ago)

The Moldy Peaches

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 00:02 (twenty-one years ago)

that Slayer "ENTER TO THE REALM OF SATANsatansatan!!!!!!!!" thing cracks me up every time, though.

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 00:03 (twenty-one years ago)

"River Deep, Mountain High" by Deep Purple is my vote for silliest-serious song. I can't tell you how many times I've pulled out that record for others, and sure enough, they either laugh uncontrolably, or sit there in shock and "awe".

― peepee (peepee), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 00:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Slayer - Reign in Blood (serious answer)
-- Bumfluff (j...), July 21st, 2004.

Still, it's a fucking great album.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 00:11 (twenty-one years ago)

oh and Richard Harris "MacArthur Park"

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 00:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Gotta go with doo-wop here: "I Am the Japanese Sandman," the Chips' version of "Rubber Biscuit," or "Stranded in the Jungle" by the Cadets. They make Kasenetz-Katz stuff sound like . . . hmmm, Slayer. Compliment, of course.

― Rickey Wright (Rrrickey), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 00:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd go with Napoleon the 13th's They're Coming To Take Me Away (haha hoho hehe).

With special nods to:

Tom Lehrer - The Elements
Don McLean - And Her Mother Came too

― jim wentworth (wench), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 03:13 (twenty-one years ago)

My pick for the silliest song is "My Boomerang Won't Come Back"

― Galed, Wednesday, 21 July 2004 04:50 (twenty-one years ago)

anything by cannibal corpse or cradle of filth.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 05:01 (twenty-one years ago)

correct.

SHAM 69 LYRICS

"Hurry Up Harry"

Come on come on
Hurry up Harry come on
Come on come on
Hurry up Harry come on
We're going down the pub
We're going down the pub

Now listen here Harry
If we're going down the pub
You'd better tell your mum and dad
And finish up your grub
I wish you'd listen to me
No, I don't want a cup of tea

Come on come on
Hurry up Harry come on
Come on come on
Hurry up Harry come on
We're going down the pub
We're going down the pub

You're telling me to grow up
But Harry don't you see
If I tried to act my age
I wouldn't be me
We never do anything
So now's the time to begin

Come on come on
Hurry up Harry come on
Come on come on
Hurry up Harry come on
We're going down the pub
We're going down the pub

You don't have to tell me
That the thing's I do are wrong
But everything I do in life
Is with us right or wrong
Now I think I understand
How to have some fun

Come on come on
Hurry up Harry come on
Come on come on
Hurry up Harry come on
We're going down the pub
We're going down the pub

By that standard, 'Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps Please' is sillier.

― Sasha (sgh), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 05:39 (twenty-one years ago)

By that standard, 'Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps Please' is sillier.

Have you heard their Yarmouth 5-0 flexi??

― Jez (Jez), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 06:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Billy and the Boingers - I'm A Boinger / U stink but I love U flexidisc
Probably more so because it made me all excited when I first heard about it, and then a friend got one! Plus, comic book bands = Grecht!

― Øystein Pillow (Øystein H-O), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 06:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Jez OTM about Yarmouth 5-0... i go incontinent every time i hear that track!

Snuff and Wat Tyler also score pretty high on the sillyometer.

― Jack Battery-Pack (Jack Battery-Pack), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 07:15 (twenty-one years ago)

my favourite examples of idiotica (look, i made up a word!)
race marbles - like a dribbling fram
bob mcfadden - i'm a mummy
white noise - here come the fleas
legendary stardust cowboy - paralysed
ramsey kearney - blind mans penis

while we are on the subject, 'Cheese burger in paradice' anyone?

― lukey (Lukey G), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 07:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Some of Lemon Jelly's tunes would fit the bill.

― Jazzbo (jmcgaw), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 11:41 (twenty-one years ago)

That Sham 69 song puts me in a bad mood. I have a friend who thinks it's funny to sing the "We're going down the pub" line EVERY FUCKING TIME we go down the pub. I'm in a bad mood again now :-(

Silliest record: Frankie Goes To Hollywood - 'Don't Lose What's Left Of Your Little Mind' (think it was a b-side to Rage Hard).

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 15:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Did that work? I dont know how to post images any more? Or else all music doesnt allow it. Anyhow, Kraftwerk.

― David Allen (David Allen), Thursday, 22 July 2004 03:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Also - Streetband: 'Toast'. I believe this was in the UK charts at the same time as Sham 69's song about going to the pub.

DJ Lebowitz's Beware Of The Piano. He's a solo pianist who...ah hell, just read this:

"Airplane" is the most wonderfully idiotic song you're never likely to hear (at least, until it's reissued on CD).

― Myonga Von Bontee (Myonga Von Bontee), Thursday, 22 July 2004 06:11 (twenty-one years ago)

"wirtschaft ist tot" by laibach,
and most skinny puppy has me rolling around in fits.
and there was that dance remix of madonna singing "don't cry for me argentina".
"wiggle it" just a little bit. by whoever that was.
and 2 live crew they are like toddlers their silly songs never fail to amuse me
