I enjoy them for the most part. You're free to pass by them.

I Am The Walrus was a joke? That song kicks ass.

I think it's strange how often bands make an intentionally bad song as a joke and it winds up being a huge hit. I think there's a message in there, but damned if I know what it is.

Because many of them are interesting

Cortez the Killer: I Am The Walrus was a joke? That song kicks ass.

What happened is at the time a lot of literary types were writing papers analyzing Beatles songs, which John thought was ludicrous, so he decided to write a song that made no sense whatsoever and said "Let them to to analyze that shiat .."

I read every word of that...learned something new even.


/crazy with the cheez whiz

Cortez the Killer: I Am The Walrus was a joke? That song kicks ass.

It happens. Weird Al's "Dare to be Stupid" and "Dog Eat Dog" were meant to be humorous tributes to Devo and the Talking Heads, respectively, but were both also really good songs.

I thought it was in response to Dylan getting praise for songs like Highway 61. That could be false.

Most of Weird Al's songs are really good songs. Best musician and lyricist of our times, and probably the best satirist.

I guess I thought Slash has said that the opening riff to "Sweet Child o' Mine" was ripped off from Rush's "Xanadu" intro.

and then followed it up with Glass Onion. John and Paul wanted to fark with more people which is why they say the Walrus is Paul

Right side of the main page, down in the Partner Sites links is where you will find your answer.

Besides, I like the Cracked lists.

Dairy King: WHY DO WE KEEP GREEN LIGHTING CRACKED LINKS?

Cracked used to sponsor Fark or something. It was noted at the bottom of the Fark main page for a while. I have no idea if they still do or not.

So badass. Geddy and Alex both with double-necks, and Neil barely visible behind pretty much every percussion instrument known to man. Some bands tour with a complete ensemble of backing musicians; while Rush manages to pull off their sound with just three guys.

I don't know if I'd go that far, but he's good. I tend to prefer the aforementioned tribute songs to the outright parodies. I wouldn't mind hearing more original stuff from him.

4' 33.

I thought John just had a taste for absurd, da-da inspired poetry. IE, Walrus, Glass Onion, Dig a Pony, etc.

Well, I just look across his discography and the huge range of styles that he can do really well, as well as the completely original lyrics that he can put into each piece and compare them to musicians of today(and the past 20+ years) with that kind of longevity, and, well, it's a no-brainer. There are few, if any, musicians with his longevity that still do good, relevant work, particularly in pop, which is his bread and butter despite the fact that pop sound changes every few months

This one (new window) was definitely not supposed to be a joke. Or maybe it was, you never know with Zevon.

Shut the fark up Donny, you're out of your element!

ivan: "Cum On Feel the Noize" was originally released by the glam rock band Slade in 1973, but the version everyone knows is the one done by Quiet Riot in 1983

The version I know is the original. Not because I am a hipster, but because I am old.

The very next year they covered Slade's "Mama weer all crazee now" and it ended up proving that Slade was just 10 years ahead of their time.

/my lawn, you can stay on it.

You should check out his writings as well, as they're full of surrealist imagery and wordplay.

I agree with that - which is why I want to hear some more original stuff from him. I bet a lot of it would be awesome.

The whole Beastie Boy's "Licensed to Ill" album was meant as a joke parodying the Rap movement.

"Fight for your right to party" was just the Beasties switching around the words in the song title "Party for Your Right to Fight" by Public Enemy. "She's Crafty" was a rip-off of RUN DMC's "She's Tricky". However, "No Sleep Till Brooklyn" had one of the greatest riffs for all time, done by Kerry King from Slayer

One of the biggest joke songs was "Badge" by Cream. Cream couldn't come up with a title for the song, so Clapton saw the music sheet that Harrison had, but it was upside down, and he thought "Bridge" in the song was "Badge", so hence the name.
Also at one point, a drunk Ringo opened the door of the studio during the recording, an d yelled some gibberish, then left. they used that as one of the lyrics in the song.

Trance750: So what about 'There She Goes' by Six Pence? I mean that whole farking song consisted of repeating the same 2 lines over and over again.

It's a cover of a song by The La's about heroin.

Add me to the list of people who enjoy them. Particularly this one.

well to start with that was a cover, not an original composition by six pence non the richer

still, don't know what the meaning of the song was, but i like the original, and the cover wasn't bad either.

Came to say the same thing. Also, I grew up in England in the 1970s and was a huge Slade fan. Bought every single, even saw the movie, Flame.

/CSB: Many years later, in the late 1980s, the first time I flew to the US none other than Slade were on my flight, two rows away (we were all in Economy class). It was very hard to get any attention from the cabin crew, who apparently had all been Slade fans when younger too. I was trying and failing to be cool about the whole thing.

AnotherBluesStringer: "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet." By B.T.O.

THIS!

I find this to be one of the funniest damned things ever! How in the world can this NOT have been #1?!?!?

-Nutshell version for those who didn't watch the short lived VH1 series whose name I can't remember but was a series on the real stories behind popular songs. Lead singer and Manager were brothers...found a LOT. Manager brother, who happened to stutter, walked out on the band after a huge fight with Singer brother...the band decided to blow off steam by writing and recording an off the cuff song making fun of the guy's stuttering. Tape was shelved...years later, Record Exec's stumble across the recording, and essentially insist that it go on the record. Bro has to fess up to stuttering bro they were making fun of him. Family dysfunction, FTW!

I was sure Right Said Fred would make the list. I can't imagine they wrote "I'm Too Sexy" without laughing their asses off.

GungFu:

karmaceutical: I thought John just had a taste for absurd, da-da inspired poetry. IE, Walrus, Glass Onion, Dig a Pony, etc.

He does, but Walrus was intended as a Take That against those that were feverishly analysing Beatles' songs. And then that one verse from Glass Onion was a Take That against those that were analysing Walrus.

You're trolling, right??

/so much misinformation...
//apologies to all if I'm missing your irony

So wait ...let me get this straight.

Quiet Riot does an almost identical copy of Cum on Feel the Noise as a "joke" and then also does an almost identical copy of Mama Weer All Crazee Now? Both Slade songs.

Something is fishy here.

I find it a lot more likely that producers thought they sounded so much like Slade, they should try to copy their popularity in the US (as a different band). The "joke" part sounds like an excuse.

List fails for not including the entire Blue Oyster Cult catalogue.
