What's the funniest song you ever heard?

This isn't misunderstood lyrics, but the actual lyrics that were funny. There have been artists who made a living writing humorous stuff like Spike Jones, or Ray Stevens to name a few, but the funniest song I have ever heard might have been "Pretty Smart on My Part" by Phil Ochs.

What's tickled your funnybone?

BTW, wasn't it Tuli Kupferberg and the Fugs who did the original "Ballin' in the Bathroom"?

Coffee_nudge, it seems to me it was about '66 or '67 when I first heard Tuli bawling in the bathroom. I think Kupferberg is still alive - he must be 80 by now.

Zappa's "Who Goosed The Moose" was also special...

Ah, Frank...Dr. Demento...Paraquat Kelly...KMET...the 70's...I'm feeling very retro.
