“I’m not crying, and If I am crying/It’s not because of you/It’s because I’m thinking of a friend of mine who you don’t know that’s dying/that’s right, dying,” the duo croons, or rather, whines, about all of the reasons they are crying that is not their hurt feelings. “I’m Not Crying” – Flight of the ConchordsĪlthough maybe a bad message for kids (crying is totally good and fine) this song is, of course, like all things FoTC produces, quite funny.

It’s like the meme of the LEGO movie song, in which the meme auteur switched “Everything is awesome!” to “Everything is awful! Everything is bad as it ever could be!” Except this version is fun, not kind of horrifying. And it’s true: “Everything, everything, everything, everything, everything,” Colin Meloy drones on about a million times before he admits it: “Is awful!” That’s about it! The song is also shockingly upbeat, making the act of screaming that everything is truly awful kind of fun. It’s funny, goofy, and a weird novelty song that somehow sold over a million copies.Ħ. But there’s more than enough time to introduce it to your children. “King Tut, how’d you get so funky” might be burned on the brains of every Gen-Xer after Steve Martin strutted out on SNL in 1978 in a questionable “Egyptian” costume and parodied a popular King Tut exhibit. The killer chorus is almost no match for the pun-filled verses about the ghouliest of spectres: “Out of from his coffin, Drac’s voice did ring/Seems he was troubled by just one thing/He opened the lid and shook his fist/And said, ‘Whatever happened to my Translyvania twist?’” 5. “Monster Mash” is seasonal, yes, but it’s still great no matter the season. “Monster Mash” – Bobby “Boris” Pickett & The Crypt Kickers That’s it! For that reason, it’s a lot of fun to sing, because there’s nothing more funny than trying to pronounce “gadolinium,” “samarium,” “molybdenum,” and “mendelevium,” especially with children, who are notoriously uninformed re: the Periodic Table of Elements and will think of the important substances as silly indeed. “The Elements” is exactly what it sounds like: a song that lists all of the elements on the periodic table as of the time of the song’s writing, and nothing else. It’s also just a lot of fun to sing, to dance to, and to shout out. While “Joy to The World” does have one somewhat inappropriate line for kids in it (“I’d throw away the cars and the bars and the war/make sweet love to you,”) the rest of the song is about boys, girls, fishes, the deep blue sea, and a bullfrog named Jeremiah. Add that with Randy Newman’s dulcet tones, and you have one of the best funny songs for kids that also sounds kind of nice for once. In this ditty, Randy Newman, perhaps one of the funniest songwriters of the 20th century, croons, “Short people got no reason/short people got no reason/short people got no reason/to live… They got little hands/And little eyes/And they walk around/Tellin’ great big lies.” The song is brutal for shorties, and it’s silly, funny, and completely absurd. With wacko lyrics and upbeat tunes, these funny songs for kids are ones you might listen to on your own sometimes, too. Consider classics from Randy Newman, the Decemberists, Woody Guthrie, and more. In fact, there are many funny songs for kids that aren’t Crazy Frog, Gangnam Style, or that insane Quiznos commercial featuring singing rats that aired in the post 9-11 fever dream of American advertising. Kids music - twee, high-pitched, grindingly melodic and almost frustratingly simple - is a necessary evil we all face as we move into parenthood. Just admit it: every time you hear Baby Shark come on the kid-friendly playlist you curated as you drive your kid home from daycare, you tense up, start to sweat, and wonder when, if ever, the madness will stop.
