There’s not really a lot written about funny comedy music, and that’s a shame. It doesn’t always get the credit it deserves, and I think that’s a shame. There are some truly brilliant funny guys and gals who can sing out there, and often their considered lightweights by the music industry. I don’t think there’s even an Grammy award for best comedy song of the year. Really, there should be. It’s kind of the same rap that comedians get in the acting business. People think it’s easier to do, because it’s silly. In reality, if you talk to any actor worth their weight, and they’ll tell you just how hard it is to be funny. Harder in many ways then being a serious dramatic actor.
So, in this blog, I tend to point out some of the funniest musical artists of our generation and previous ones along with all their songs. Maybe you’ll find a new favorite artist out of the crowd to listen to. Happy reading, and I look forward to reading your comments as well.
This topic Comedy Music Cellar » About sounds good, but how is everything related together?
I’ve learned so much from this blog. Hopefully others can find value in my site as well!
I just found your blog. Thanks for getting the word out about comedy music. I write comedy music and I’ve had a hard time being taken seriously. People always tell me that I should write “real” songs. Or they accuse me of writing really great songs then ruining them with my lyrics. Anyway, I’m gravely serious about comedy and my comedy music is one of the most important things in my life.
I run a website http://www.PrettySpecialRecords.com where I assume the roles of several different characters who all perform different genres of music. That way I can make fun of the eccentric personalities and cliches of each genre while also celebrating my love for music.
Thanks!!!!
I was listening to some Spike Jones recently. Ok, when you think comedy music, quite often that will pop up. I also wanted to mention that not only is his music funny, wacky, zany etc, if you think about the production quality and how well rehearsed his City Slickers/Wackateers, it’s quite impressive!! With digital recording these days, you don’t get that kind of “choreography”. Plus gargling and harps? Brilliant!!
