Amusing/Comedic Songs
Hi all,
I've been asked to perform a 45 minute set at at my local pub during a half way break at a charity fundraising event quiz night being held next month. I know many of the people attending and they can take a joke, so I feel throwing in a couple of (hopefully) funny/amusing ditties would keep the evening flowing. I have a couple of ideas already (one song's a bit suggestive, but not really rude), but I was wondering if any of you could suggest any others I could look into doing? Clever, silly, a bit naughty, it doesn't really matter provided they're songs likely to put a smile on the faces of punters who've had a few drinks. :-) I'd appreciate any help or advice you could give. Best regards to all, Dave

I used to play in a restaurant a few years ago and we always finished with 'Always look on the bright side of life' Guaranteed to get everyone singing.
Or you could have a go at this

Could depend somewhat on the average age of the audience, but being nostalgic for my (much) younger days how about:
“Delaney’s Donkey” “Paddy McGinty’s goat” Jake Thackray’s “Bantam ****”. [Seems AGF does not approve of male birds!] or When I First Came to this Land, for a sing-a-long Whatever you choose, have fun and I hope it goes well! Regards, Clive.

If it isn’t a medical charity you are doing, there is a parody of Cat Stevens song MoonShadow that is quite funny. The song is a twist of medical maladies the over 50 crowd is likely to encounter. Always gets a big laugh. I will try again to post it.

Bet me to it. But I was thinking Smokey Greene's version. He also has one called The Burglar Song.

Steve Goodman had a bunch. One my favorites that wouldn't be too hard to learn - Talk Backwards

John Hartford has a few great numbers that are on the light side...a few that come to mind are Golden Globes (only a bit off color), Mouth to Mouth, I would not be Here, Ladies live such a Long Long Time (opportunity to get the audience involved).
Always Marry an Ugly Girl is an old favorite. I Once was a Baptist Mind Your Own Business Squalor Why Don't we Get Drunk moves toward the raunchier side and over the top in that direction is Charlotte the Harlot More familiar and light, fun is the Beatles' Her Majesty Last edited by Acousticado; 02-16-2020 at 03:54 PM.
