Music Trivia -> Lighter Side of Serious Bands -> A
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.
Entries Beginning with A
"Alabama Song," The Doors
The Lizard King holds court for this jaunty but sinister salute to debauchery, written by Kurt Weill & Bertolt Brecht.
Agrimorfee
"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
"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?
"Alex's Song," Blur
The sessions for the End of a Century B-sides must of been really obscure, because they are humours. Alex's Song has high pitch "blade like" vocals. Kind of like a chipmunk song, as people keep calling songs with high pitch vocals.
Lee
"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
"Another Postcard," Barenaked Ladies
It was originally written as a joke song about receiving many postcards with pictures with monkeys on them, which spawned from a line in "If I Had $1,000,000".
JeReMy
"Another Postcard," Barenaked Ladies
The song is about them getting sick of postcards with pictures of chimps on them caused by a line in "If I Had $1,000,000".
JeReMy
"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
"Ariel," Dean Friedman
This song has some humorous moments such as I said "Hi" and she said "Yeah, I guess I am".
Paul Warren
"At The Zoo," Simon and Garfunkel
This song represents a humorous side of Simon and Garfunkel when they mention about what animals represent and a drunk zookeeper.
Paul Warren
"Aufhaben," Brian Jonestown Massacre
Their fine new album "Aufheben" has the same picture on the message-to-aliens LP disc that the Voyager I and II spacecraft have on them. The pictures shows our solar system and its planets, the location of our sun in approximate distances from certain pulsars, a nude man and woman and more.
Long Distance Voyager II
