What is it with artists and their creativity? Are we ever to understand the power of their imagination or at least get a glimpse of it in trying to understand everything they do? Highly unlikely. Especially when you take a look at some of these funny song names. They seem so very aloof to us, but what if there's an encrypted message in a name like "I Wouldn't Take Her to a Dog Fight?" And what if it means exactly what it means that Charlie Walker isn't thinking about taking his boo to watch a dog fight? Welp, this gets more confusing the deeper you get into it! But one thing is for sure - understand it or not, these funny named songs are a dose of pure, old-fashioned entertainment that we love so much!
We have to admit that we haven't listened to all of these funny songs before releasing this article, but our random selection of them crystallized one notion about them - they often speak the unvarnished truth. Like the one called "We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful" by Morrissey. Okay, so it might not be a universal truth, but it's not a lie, either. And, for all it is worth, it is a uniquely weird song. At least to our ears. But, besides the aforementioned ones, you'll find hilarious names galore on this list that don't necessarily mean what they say they mean. Getting cryptic here again; sorry for that.
Anyhoo, if you've ever wished to know all the possible funny names for songs, just scroll down below and check them out. Be sure to give your vote for the most hilarious songs you find on this list, and share this article with anyone who's into buffoonery just as much as you are.

Agreed. They forgot "I Am The Walrus" by The Beatles and "Yes We Have No Bananas" by Louis Prima and "Poisoning Pigeons In The Park" by Tom Lehrer
Load More Replies...1) Napoleon XIV - "They're Coming To Take Me Away Ha-Haa" (1966). Made it to #3 on the charts. The song is about the guy thinking he's Napoleon. 2)Yvlis - "What does the fox say?" (2013). If you don't remember this one, you are lucky.
