I'll whip this one out (pun intended) on occasion and it's always a hit. Another one is a parody version of a Green Day song:

Talking Candy Bar Blues - Paul Stokey

[J Patrick]

..lots of John Prine songs fit the bill...

Please Don’t Bury Me

Spanish Pipe Dream

Dear Abbey

Crazy Bone

Fish and Whistle

That’s the Way the World Goes Round

....those are just the ones I know...

"On the Amazon", Don MacLean.

[Lee Callicutt]

"The Great Hank," Robert Earl Keen.

[Methos1979]

A buddy of mine whips this one out at open mics and always gets a chuckle:

Be Sixteen With Me by Don White

Ghost Chickens in the Sky
(parody of Ghost Riders, as performed by Leroy Troy)

(watch the bass player - he can't keep a straight face)

[Cypress Knee]

Mike Cross an Antsy McClain have a lot of short, amusing songs.

My personal favorites are Elma Turl


and I Married Up by Antsy McClain and the Trailer Park Troubadours.

"Put Another Log on the Fire"

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

Dave,

Check out Jake Thackeray's songs. They are a goldmine of naughty (but nice) ditties. Richard Digence and Jasper Carrot are also very funny but Jake's the man to make the crowd titter.

The Bottomless Lake

I would strongly suggest you check out a guy named Paul Thorn on YouTube. Inventive, witty...I Guess I’ll Just Stay Married, Great Day To Whoop Somebody's ... and Viagra are favorites of mine.

I play
"Love potion # 9" every once in a while. People seem to have fun with it.

Always love some double-entendre
