Music Trivia -> Lighter Side of Serious Bands -> Latest Entries
Some bands don't wait around for Weird Al to parody one of their songs, and take a pre-emptive strike and write a silly song of their own.
The 20 most recent entries are listed below. There are 89 entries in this section.
"All By Myself," Green Day
I was alone... I was all by myself... nobody was looooking... I was all by myself... oh you & me had... such wonderful times... when i was all by myself...
Optimus Lime
"Chump," Green Day
I don't know you but I think I hate you... You're the reason for my misery...
Optimus Lime
"Chocolate Rain," Tay Zonday
well some people may dis-agree with me but I think this entire song is just 'chocolate rain' with a few other sentences in between
optimus Lime
"King For A Day," Green Day
King for a day, In a leather thong... Dude, the songs about a crossdresser... GI Joe in Pantyhose...
Optimus Lime
"Jack and Diane," John Mellencamp
During the late summer and early fall of 1982 "Jack and Diane" was on top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Me and my younger sister were watching a "Three's Company" episode during autumn 82 and main character Jack Tripper was dating a girl named (drumroll, please) - Diane!
Guess What?
"Album titles LOW and BOWI," Nick Lowe
In early 1977 David Bowie released his classic album "Low". Later that year Nick LOWE released his debut solo EP, he named it BOWI (no E at the end). Geddit?
Du U Get The Joke Here?
"Bite The Bullet," Motorhead
Phil Campbell plays the opening guitar line, but stops in the middle. Mikky Dee can be heard shouting "Carry on, for f***s sake!"
Jakko Wakko
"any David Bowie song," David Bowie
A joke from my high school history class. We had a list of heroes who died at the Alamo, including "Colonel Steve Austin (the 6 Million Dollar Man or the Bionic Man of TV)" - instead of real-life Stephen Fuller Austin, "Jiminy Cricket" - instead of Davy Crockett, and "David Bowie" (not Jim).
Let's Dance Into 1983
"Mony Mony," Billy Idol
when this song is played the audience often shouts out an obscene chant after Billy sings a verse of this song.
Planet Eath Idol
"Giggle," Amy Grant
Amy is basically telling non-believers to laugh at her if they want, but she will still believe in God and not feel ashamed or embarrassed. But she bristles a bit when she has to hug a mean person in spite of his overpowering body odor.
Christian
"Album - Minute By Minute," The Doobie Brothers
Inside the album there is a big picture of a half-smoked doobie (marijuana joint). This is a DOOBIE Brothers album. How about that?
San Francisco Rocker
"Glory Tonight," Power Quest
It's not the song that is the lighter side, it's the insanely low budget video that they made in about 2 hours!
DJ Blaze
"Intermission," Sixx A.M.
All it is, is Nikki Sixx talking about his crappy life with depressing carnival music playing in the background.
Travis
"Heart Failure," Sixx A.M.
"After all, we're the drug scouts of America" I don't understand. Is this another boy scouts club? If so, it's a bad one.
Travis
"Fluorescent Adolecent," Arctic Monkeys
"You used to get it in your fish net" "Now you only get it in your night dress" They are pretty much describing a girl who used to be a hooker.
Travis
"Quiet Ones," Tears For Fears
I have to laugh at the title of this song because Roland seems to think that the "quiet ones" are always stranger than fiction.
Why are the quiet ones
always stranger than fiction
News flash guys! I'm a quiet person and I've lead a pretty dull and pointless life.

Celeste
"Last Ride In," Green Day
Track 10 off the album, 'Nimrod.' It's a very laid-back, purely-instrumental piece that's sort of like surf music, but slower and softer (if that even makes sense). It's slightly similar to the beginning of The Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter."
Jonathan S.
"Shout," Tears For Fears
This song basically says: shout out about whatever is bothering you? You shouldn't give a shit about what anyone else thinks.
Shout, Shout,
let it all out
these are the things
I can do without
come on
I'm talking to you
come on
Shout, Shout,
let it all out
these are the things
I can do without
come on
I'm talking to you
come on
