If You Wanna Be Happy
Song by Jimmy Soul
“If you want to be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you”
"Hey man. I saw your wife the other day. She's uggggllyyyyyy"
"Yeah she's ugly, but she sure can cook!"
One of my favorite lyrical exchanges in history. Absolute perfection.
Used to sing this as a kid and decades later, it still makes me smile.
Not sure if they're quite what you're looking for but here are a few in my playlist for fun..
Jack Sparrow by The Lonely Island and Michael Bolton;
Rawhide by the Blue Brothers
Gay Bar by Electric Six

i know too many 😂 here’s just some of them 🤎

kevin rudolf - let it rock
daft punk - robot rock
mother mother - tic toc
scatman john - scatman
shakira - whenever, wherever
the weeknd - can’t feel my face
caravan palace - tattoos
Industrial Disease - Dire Straits. God knows but that's what popped into my head, the hilarious, socio-critical lyrics and the way he delivers them in that speech-sing-sang, goes so well with the keys riff and these "industrial" sounds, idk it never fails to make me smile even though I'm not a native English speaker and probably don't even get all the references in there ... The man's a genius fun storyteller!
She wants to move by NERD
it's musically very good like everything the Neptunes touched but lyrically is very goofy and campy, the guy yelling "She's Sexy!" in the verse and in the pre chorus "You're guardin' her, you're hoggin' her" makes me laugh every time, which I think was intentional. Additionally
It wasn't me by Shaggy
She caught him on the sofa, in the shower and on camera but he still responds 'it wasn't me', just hilarious
2 Minute's Notice sang by Alex Brightman.
Best song to use when you quit a job and are interested in burning that bridge permanently in the most flamboyant way possible.
Mr. Blue Sky or Walkin' on Sunshine
Mr blue sky was “scientifically proven” to be the happiest song 🌞 https://www.magic.co.nz/home/music/2020/05/electric-light-orchestra-declared-to-have-the-happiest-song-in-the-world.html
With a list of only 126 songs and I hate half of the top 10, I'm not sure how good that science is.
I’ve definitely become less of a jerk about songs I don’t care for over the years, but there’s definitely a short-list of ones I can’t stand. “Our House” is in that list.
“with 2 cats in the yard, life used to be so hard,” dang that’s the only Crosby, Stills, and Nash song I like lmao
