My vote for funniest song goes to...

Is it really not "knight" because if it's not then I bet there are a lot of perverts over the years who have thought it was!

All about Ruprecht or Ruffhousing with Sniffhausen. Sorry, Gav, I can't choose.

Norbert Leo Butz quotes about John Lithgow: "He's really clumsy. One of the joys in life is to watch a great big huge man totally wipe out backstage. It takes John about three minutes to hit the floor. It's like watching a Great Sequoia falling gracelessly."

ok, so clearly all the funniest songs, (except A little Priest) have been written in the last three seasons...

my personal preference, though, is probably Sondheim & Sinatra's 'The Boy From...'

'Why do his friends call him Lilian?'

"ok, so clearly all the funniest songs, (except A little Priest) have been written in the last three seasons"

RENT ("Over The Moon" mentioned several times) was written in 1990's

A CHORUS LINE ("Dance: 10; Looks:3" mentioned) was written in 70's

CHICAGO ("Class" and "Cell Block Tango" mentioned) was written in 70's

Also mentioned were songs from ONCE UPON A MATTRESS, COMPANY, INTO THE WOODS, GUYS AND DOLLS, FLOWER DRUM SONG, I CAN GET IT FOR YOU WHOLESALE, LES MISERABLES...

The funniest songs I have ever heard are:

"I Rise Again" - On the Twentieth Century

"The Gospel According to King" - My Favorite Year( and pretty much all of the songs from that show)

"Fat & Greasy" - Ain't Misbehavin(and you have to throw in "You're Feets Too Big" also)

I thought "Find Your Grail" was pretty damn funny. And "The Song that Goes Like This". I can't really think of anymore...

I laugh everytime I hear "The Song That Goes Like This" From Spamalot. "Keep It Gay" is a very close second.

What was "Alto's Remorse" from? Do you remember. There was a girl who sang that at State and it was HILARIOUS!

I have been told it's not actually from a musical and isn't it called Alto's Lament?

The comment was clearly referring to some, not all, of the contributions on this thread.

I hear wild rumours that there were funny songs written even as far back as 1970!

good choice of words, clearly (?) referring to 'some', not all, of the contributions on this thread...

Pick almost any song by Cole Porter. If your heart doesn't ache, your sides will--sometimes at once.

This is a very tough question, but I'm somewhere between "Betrayed" from The Producers, "The Song that Goes Like This" from SPAMalot, and "Popular" from Wicked... all VERY funny songs... and of course there's always "Planet Schmanet Janet" from Rocky Horror that I love...
