Humourous Music
I used to listen to Dr. Demento on the radio when I used to live in the California Bay Area... there were all these humor recordings that he'd play on his timeslot, and I'd always try to listen to it from 10pm to 12midnight. Here's a sample of the lyrics from The Drunk Scotsman.

The Scotsman

Now the Scotsman, clad in kilt, left the bar one evening fair.
One could tell, by the way he walked, he'd drunk more than his share.
He fumbled 'round until no longer could he keep his feet.
So he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street.

About that time two young and lovely girls just happened by.
One said to the other, with a twinkle in her eye -
"See yon' sleeping Scotsman, so strong and handsome built.
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt"?

Well, they crept upon the sleeping Scotsman as quiet as could be
Lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see.
And there, behold, for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth.

Now they marveled for a moment then one said we must be gone
But let's leave a present for our friend before we move along.
As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow
Around the bonnie star the Scotsman's kilt when lifted showed.

Now the Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled toward to trees
Behind a bush he raised his kilt and gasped at what he sees
And in a startled voice he said to what's before his eyes
"Lad, I don't know where you've been but I see you won first prize."
