Music Trivia -> Lighter Side of Serious Bands -> D

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.

"Degredation," Violent Femmes
A silly "advertisement" with carnival-style music.
Ra'akone
"Delaware," Perry Como
In 1960, this generally serious crooner recorded this "novelty song" based on puns on names of U.S. states. It is a series of questions and answers, such as "What did Delaware (Della wear), boys?", answered by "She wore a brand New Jersey".
