Songs That Make Me Laugh
Sometimes I get one of these nutsy tunes running through my head and I seem to sing it all day long!
Whatever makes you smile, right? I hope this site provides you a giggle or two -- and maybe some memories, too!
Have fun!

Pink Toothbrush
Max Bygraves - You're a Pink Toothbrush
What can I say? Lyrics: You're a pink toothbrush, I'm a blue toothbrush Have we met somewhere before? You're a pink toothbrush and I think toothbrush That we met by the bathroom door. Glad to meet toothbrush, such a sweet toothbrush How you thrill me through and through Dont be hard toothbrush on a soft toothbrush 'Cause I cant help loving you. Every time I hear you whistle...... it makes my nylon bristle....... You're a pink toothbrush, I'm a blue toothbrush Won't you marry me in haste? I'll be true toothbrush, just to you toothbrush When we both use the same toothpaste.

Lyrics - Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor
Whatever shall I do
Hallelujah, the question is peculiar
I'd give a lot of dough
If only I could know
The answer to my question
Is it yes or is it no
Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
On the bedpost overnight
If your mother says don't chew it
Do you swallow it in spite
Can you catch it on your tonsils
Can you heave it left and right
Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
On the bedpost overnight
Here comes a blushing bride
The groom is by her side
Up to the altar
Just as steady as Gibraltar
Why, the groom has got the ring
And it's such a pretty thing
But as he slips it on her finger
The choir begins to sing
Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
On the bedpost overnight
If your mother says don't chew it
Do you swallow it in spite
Can you catch it on your tonsils
Can you heave it left and right
Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
On the bedpost overnight
Now the nation rise is one
To send their only son
Up to the White House
Yes, the nation's only White House
To voice their discontent
Unto the Pres-I-dent
They pawn the burning question
What has swept this continent
(Lonnie speaks)
If tin whistles are made of tin
What do they make fog horns out of
Boom, boom
Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
On the bedpost overnight
If your mother says don't chew it
Do you swallow it in spite
Can you catch it on your tonsils
Can you heave it left and right
Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
On the bedpost overnight
On the bedpost overnight
Hello there, I love you and the one who holds you tight
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, Sat'day night
On the bedpost overnight
A dollar is a dollar and a dime is a dime
He's singin' out the chorus
But he hasn't got the time
On the bedpost overnight, yeah

Do You Have a Favorite Funny-Crazy Song?
Suzie-Shine wrote...
Just love funny songs. My grandfather used to have dozens of them and would love to sing many of them - though a few weren't suitable for delicate ears! One title I like is for the song: 'If I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me.' Super lens.

I laugh every single time I play it for myself. I'm trying to persuade my band-mate Bob to do this song with me. I'm laughing just now. "this here feller, this punchineller, begins to beller..."

Nicely done, Joan! Congrats on your accomplishments. I must admit that my comedic tastes are a bit more "hard-core" with the likes of Bob Saget, Adam Sandler, The Darkness, Bloodhound Gang, Tenacious D, and Sam Kinison, among others... but I do get the humor of your selections (I would personally label most of them "cute" rather than funny - but different strokes, right?) Congrats again, Joan. 5 more stars comin' your way!

Excellent lens. Ray Stevens always makes me laugh. The old "Hee-Haw" song, "Gloom, Despair, and Agony on Me" is another I think is cute.

Joan, What a hoot! I have always loved Ray Stevens and Roger Miller songs and both men are and were very talented at making me laugh... which is a good thing! Also both were talented songwriters and serious musicians and as an interesting footnote, both had a successful link to Kris Kristofferson in that genre: Roger Miller made the original recording of, Me and Bobby McGee in 1969 and it reached #12 on the C&W charts and Ray Stevens recorded the original version of, Sunday Morning Coming Down... also in 1969 and it became his first hit reaching #55 in C&W and #81 on the pop top 100! Mucho Congratulations on being selected as a Giant 100 Squid and your magnificent lensography. 5***** and favored.

Hello! Joan, This is a great lens with historic value for me, being an emigrant from Europe ( I have been in States since 1980 - you probably notice my "English"), I don't know a good part of the songs and I have a really good time listening.
Thanks so much!

May the bird of paradise fly up your nose,

I'm not sure, maybe Ray Stevens?
I remember when my wife and I were singing this song on a trip when our daughter was about 12 or so. She kept saying, "That's not a real song!"
When she got to her Granny's house, she ran in and said, "Granny, you won't believe what Mama and John have been singing!"
She sang a few words and her Granny joined in.
She just stood there with her mouth open staring at all of us like we were crazy!
You have a great selection of fun songs, here!

Oh my gosh... do some of these songs bring back memories. I forgot that Johnny Cash sang"A boy Named Sue. I was in high school at the time and everyone was raving about Cash. I was a Nancy Wilson and Ella Fitzgerald fan myself... that country stuff was for hicks. But... I soon learned to love Cash... he was so crusty.
