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.

Dekay: If you want to have a real cleansing, you should hear him do "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds". Sounds like somebody put a hit of acid in Capt. Kirks' replicator

Just discovered Kinky Freedman, but it is the lyrics, not the music. In clasical music, in Orff's Carmina Burana, the lament of the swan, as he's being roasted -inspite of the topic - is musically very funny and to remain with the same composer: " Die Kluge" is full of musical wit, as well as "Der Mond".

Kid Creole not only writes hilarious lyrics (see "No More Casual Sex" his Reagan era lament for the passing of the sexual revolution), but he also has a great, sly sense of musical humor. Check out his disco version of "Edelweiss".
