Funny Lyrics:

"American Pig"
The Funny Lyrics:
put my foot in your mouth but the hole is too big.
Why They're Funny:
Geez, that guy has a big mouth.
Submitted by: Thomas Williams
"Mean Machine"
The Funny Lyrics:
Don't ya dare mess with my mean machine
It's long, and slick, and olive green!
Why They're Funny:
This song is about a car...I wonder if it was written to make it sound as wrong as it does... =)

Repetitive Lyrics:

"Cash"
The Repetitive Lyrics:
I need some f--kin cash!
Why They're Repetitive:
During this song, the second verse and chorus is recited three times, the first verse four times, and 'I need some f--kin cash!' is how it ends. It's totally pointless, but this song is funny as hell.

Nonsensical Lyrics:

"Every Morning"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Every morning there's a halo hanging from the corner of my girlfriend's four-post bed
I know it's not mine but I'll see if I can use it for the weekend or a one-night stand
Why They're Nonsensical:
If you're already in bed with a girl, why do you want to get a one night stand with her halo?
Submitted by: Allie Cat
"Disasterpiece"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
I never knew how good
I never knew how good it could be
(later in the song) I always knew how good it could be
Why They're Nonsensical:
Did you or did you not know? I love the song, but I don't get the point they're trying to get across here.
Submitted by: Worldwidewocky

Insincere Lyrics:

"Streaker"
The Insincere Lyrics:
Motherf--ker, I'm Mark, with a 'K' not a 'C'
Why They're Insincere:
I find it funny, mainly because people have a lot of trouble spelling my name. I've never actually called them a motherf--ker before though...still, these lyrics never fail to amuse me...it also has nothing to do with streakers.

Misrhymed Lyrics:

"Mean Machine"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
Don't you dare mess with a mean machine.
It's thick and rich and coloured green.
Why They're Misrhymed:
Either Mark McGrath is just plain lazy in his rhyming or he's singing about a milkshake? I haven't quite figured out which senario it is?
