Funniest Song Lyrics:

"Grade Nine"
The Funny Lyrics:
Well half my friends are crazy and the others are depressed
None of them can help me study for my math test
I got into the classroom but my knowledge was gone
I guess I should have studied instead of watching 'Wrath of Kahn!'
Why They're Funny:
This line could be about my life! I've gone into tests with nothing going through my head but, 'Kaaahhhhnn!'
Submitted by: Charlie D
"Pinch Me"
The Funny Lyrics:
Maybe I'll hide out under there-
I just made you say underwear
Why They're Funny:
Under where? I actually fell for that the first time I heard the song. Seems that he purposely wrote the song this way, prompting the listener to say or even think "Under where?" (would this be considered fourth-wall breakage?).

"If I Had A Million Dollars"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
I'd buy you a green dress
(But not a real green dress, that's cruel)
Why They're Nonsensical:
What the heck is so cruel about a green dress? Unless it, too, was made from animals (like the fur coat, which is mentioned earlier, and also described as 'cruel'), but how many green animals are there, besides frogs? I'm baffled.

Insincere Song Lyrics:

"Jane"
The Insincere Lyrics:
I wrote a letter,
she should have got it yesterday,
What can be better by being together
is what I cannot explain to Jane.
Why They're Insincere:
You can't blame Stephen Page for trying to get the girl that he loves. That's what makes this whole song so insincere.
Submitted by: Celeste

If you can't say something nice, the thing to do would be to not say anything at all. This line contradicts that.

"One Week"
The Inappropriate Lyrics:
Chickity China the Chinese chicken

Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon
Cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes
Why They're Inappropriate:
The whole song is dumb in my opinion, but these lines really do it. First they insert this line about a chicken, then they just mention something about Sailor Moon, a Japanese anime cartoon, as if they have some fascination with it. Can this get any dumber?

"Barenaked Ladies"
It wasn't a song but the name of the band "Barenaked Ladies" that forced this group off of city property. In 1991 the Barenaked Ladies were effectively banned from playing the New Year's Eve bash at Nathan Phillips Square because then Mayor June Rowlands felt that the band's name was sexist.

"A hard to find PSA on Fox Kids Network"
This may not qualify as being known for something other than music, but in the beginning of the days of the Fox Kids Network, they used to have various public service announcements with relevant songs performed by what at the time were considered obscure bands. BNL performed a song called "The Ballad of Gordon" in a PSA promoting racial harmony, but the song doesn't seem to be on any of their albums, and there are people who have been seeking a copy of this for decades, including myself.
