Music Trivia -> Lighter Side of Serious Bands -> T
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.
"Tender Lumplings," Oingo Boingo
This band was wackiest in its earliest days, but this barely audible tune on their last studio album sounds like a bunch of goblins whispering in an old Victrola record player. It was referenced later in Danny Elfman's score for The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Lyric: Oh listen Tender Lumplings let me take you by the hands./I'll take you from this hell-hole to the Promised Land. /But don't blame me, oh children, if those promises don't keep/'Cause promises like lives, can be bought so very cheap.

"Todo Los Dolores," Devendra Banhart
Begins a verse, flubs...and then starts over again, intentionally kept the "out-take"
Ra'akone
"Tommy's Holiday Camp," The Who
The Who actually have fun with this short song by having a carnival-like atmosphere throughout the whole song.
