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.

In an idiom similar to the Waits tune Astock cites, the Tom Kirchen (ex-Comander Cody lead guitar) live shows feature Kirchen playing a medley of famous lead licks "quoted" on guitar while Kirchen shouts the original player's names in rapid succession. The crowd is always laughing by the mid-way (say 15 or 20) point and usually howling by the end.

A follow-up to my post from yesterday. The Tom Waits song I was searching for is "Step Right Up" from his 1976 release 'Small Change'.

Please lets get back to the actual meaning of my topic. I didn't mean funny lyrics or anything like that, but the musical content just by itself. Marty, I think had a good point here, as well as Katharina and Mrtennis. Zappa, apart from his bawdy lyrics could be very funny, as far as Jazz goes, Carla Bley's "Dinner Music" just came to mind, I'm sure, there must be much more....
