10 silliest songs
Thirteen-year-old Rebecca Black's slightly silly stream-of-consciousness song "Friday" became a YouTube sensation. Like Black's hit, some of the ditties on our shortlist of the silliest songs became one-hit wonders, while others are relegated to obscurity.

'Bike'
Combine psychedelic with an offbeat British sense of humor, add a cloak & a homeless mouse, and you have Pink Floyd's "Bike." Long live Syd Barrett.
'Mairzy Doats'
A novelty song from the years of World War II, it made the charts several times, once all the way to No. 1. Spike Jones did a version.
'Lumberjack Song'
It starts out as a linear narrative about lumberjacks from a famous comedy troupe, but when the lyrics go to "I cut down trees / I skip and jump / I like to press wildflowers," that's when things go hilariously awry.
'Fish Heads'
One of the members of this comedy rock duo was on this legendary outer-space TV show. Their big hit was about what fish heads can and cannot do, including play baseball, wear sweaters or drink cappuccino in Italian restaurants with Asian women.
'All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth'
It's one of the best Christmas novelty songs ever, done by a legendary entertainer. Find out how he got his stage name.
'Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh'
Maybe it's a genre. Allan Sherman won a Grammy for this camp complaint song, which employs a classic melody.
'They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha, Ha'
Critics can't decide if the singer of this novelty song is crooning about a lost lover or his dog. How did it do on the charts when it was released in 1966?
'Monster Mash' - Bobby 'Boris' Pickett & the Crypt-Kickers
Quite possibly the most popular silly song ever, this ubiquitous Halloween party song was created by a band that featured this legendary singer.
'Gitarzan' – Ray Stevens
One of the most successful silly songwriters ever, he had chart success with a serious religious song before the 1969 novelty ditty about a man who lives in a jungle. He is said to have had some help composing 'Gitarzan.'
'Earache My Eye' - Cheech and Chong
The song-skit by an often under-the-influence comedy team features a character that's a cross between a theatrical rock star and a musical chameleon.
