JumboXL Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Last week I had so much fun listening to a band I discovered: Me First and The Gimme Gimmes. I love their punk versions of Middle of The Road songs. These guys are active for over a dozen of years, and I never heard of them, over here in Europe. So what else did I miss? I know The Austin Lounge Lizards. I have the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band, the Rutles, and Monty Python Sings albums. I also am familiar with Weird Al Yankovic, I do not think he's very funny. Any other suggestions for really humourous bands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesboy Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 I saw the Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo play at the Whiskey during the mid '70s. I guess you would call them vaudevillian. They changed their style to more New Wave in 1980. Some of Frank Zappa's lyrics are quite humorous . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
