Music to make you laugh by


No, I don't mean the text of a song as an example. Rather the musical content of a given piece of music, which by listening to it, be it in concert or at home in front of your rig, has made you laugh out loud or grin or smile, because it was funny or amusing in a clever way.

Katharina: Yes, the 101 Strings listed above (if you consider unintentional camp to be funny) and Victor Borge (SP) mentioned by Kitch. If you are under 40, you may have missed Mr. Borge. Although not always classical, many of the works of Henry Mancini show a great deal of humor (to me anyway).
Anything performed by "The 101 Strings". Funnier than a good standup comic and more camp than a John Waters production. They put Muzak to shame in this particular venue.
We have a CD - Dudley Moore "Live from an Aircraft Hanger" that is very funny. I used to know the slang meaning of "aircraft hanger" in the UK, but can't seem to remember what it is right now. Anyway, the CD's a hoot.
Wirehead: I watched/listened to Shatner recite the lyrics to "Rocket Man" (maybe on SNL) years ago and had a combination barfing/laughing fit.
