The Three Best Ones In My Opinion

Tim Minchin

Tenacious D

Flight Of The Conchords

this is superficially "funny", but if you think about how hard it is for his musicians to play , then you will realize that it is a masterpiece of composition. he wrote music that only very few people could perform successfully. please do not watch the video accompaniment as it is just a mediocre attribution by someone who used the music to express their mediocre thoughts.
listen to the each of the instruments in isolation and understand he wrote every note that they played.
it is exceptionally gifted, and even though he himself ascribed it to a humorous sequence, the person who posted this youtube clip added visuals that are far less creative in an attempt to visually portray their idea of what this song means..
just look away and listen and hear the individual notes and their expression that comprise this masterpiece
listen to the complexity of the drum track for example.
please do not watch the video it.just listen.

the last song was chopped off, but it is continuous in reality. this is the rest of the last song.

this is ostensibly comedic, but if you overlook that, you will hear genius (if you are capable i guess).

Life's like that isn't it...

It's not exactly comedy music, per se, but it's still hilarious!

here is another by the inimitable jerry samuels ["napoleon XIV"]
note- listen to it with headphones, the stereo vocal effects are a real headtrip!

and now for the lyrics so everybody can sing along!

I´ve lived in apartments, I´ve lived in a home
I travelled in trailers when I used to roam
But now in these places you won´t have me dead
´Cause I´m happy I live in a split-level head

I do what I want to, no worries, no care
If anyone bugs me I climb up my stairs
Way up to a level where I feel no threat
´Cause I´m happy I live in a split-level head

If you´re trying something, I couldn´t care less
I don´t rush for busses and trains are a mess
There´s no one to care for, I don´t need a bed
´Cause I´m happy I live in a split-level head

I like how I´m living, I´m nobody´s slave
My head´s above water, so don´t make a wave
There are no doors to lock and no dogs to be fed
´Cause I´m happy I live in a split-level head

Now why should I move when the neighborhood´s right?
No taxes to pay and no landlord to fight
Now I call this living, what´s more, like I said
´cause Im happy I live in a split-level head

Now you keep your ulcers, your ills, and what, too
You sure couldn´t have them and live like I do
You think I have problems, but you do instead
´Cause I´m happy I live in a split-level head

I live with two people, I like both of them
He likes both of me and I like both of him
They´re my alter-ego and to them I´m wed
´Cause I´m happy I live in a split-level head

There´s no simple status in my neighborhood
And that kind of thinking, I think it´s so good
And I don´t take the lead when I like to be led
´Cause I´m happy I live in a split-level head
