Day 25 - A song that makes you laugh

Some of these categories only make me think of one song immediately, but this is one where there are loads.  Not novelty songs, which are largely Not Actually Funny, or certainly not for repeated listening, but songs with amusing lyrics or clever wordplay are often ones I enjoy.

I'm a big fan of Reverend Horton Heat, who play amazing psychobilly rock'n'roll songs about women and drinking.  Most of their stuff is very funny.  Here's a little ditty about getting rich after finding a load of crack in Texas:


It's sunny and I'm in a good mood, so you can have some more.  A heartbreaking song about a woman who leaves a man with nothing, not even the means to clean his teeth:


And of course, a song about being drunk:


How can you not smile at a song which contains the lyric, "I'll explain in the morning 'cause the kitchen bright's too light"?

Happy weekend, everyone!
