what songs make you laugh really hard when you hear them? for me it's probably a toss up between "Heil Myself" and "Schadenfreude".

The two songs that had me laughing hysterically were "Dainty June and her Farmboys" moment with the cow at City Center. To be fair, it was my first time ever hearing the number and the June was hilarious, as was deadpan Benanti underneath that cow head.
Also the song in Drowsy Chaperone that held the spit take, Love is Always Lovely in the End. The song itself might not have been funny, but that moment was a riot.
"I Am Adolpho" makes me laugh every time I hear it! "You Won't Succeed On Broadway" cracks me up, as does a bunch of stuff from Avenue Q and Urinetown.

"A Little Priest," easily. I have listened to that song countless times and it never fails to have me laughing out loud.
A Revolutionary Costume for Today from Grey Gardens...well, much of the second act cracked me up... seeing it live of course is much funnier than it is on the recording...
also Hominy Grits from Act One.
Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats
Oklahoma! from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.
I Hate Musicals from Ruthless

I was cracking up big time when I first heard it last night!!!
Everything from Drowsy especially Show Off
Raunchy - 110 in the Shade
Revolutionary Costume for Today - Grey Gardens
Popular - Wicked
Pretty much half the songs from 'The Full Monty' and 'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels'. What can I say? I like David Yazbek. ^_^
Spamalot -Im not dead, Im All Alone, Divas Lament, Song that goes like this - Saw this for the first time just the other night in London and loved it so much more than I thought I would.
Avenue Q - Nearly everything.
Drowsy - Message from a nightingale
Producers - Springtime for Hitler
Oh, and most of 'Evil Dead: The Musical'. It can be difficult when watching the films straight to realise that a lot of humour went into the making of 'em, but the musical really complements and confirms that. VERY true to the spirit, and VERY funny. :3
