Have you checked Nanowar (of steel) which is parodic metal ?

My favourite was the one about the ECB declaring war on the tooth fairy https://youtu.be/CzvQxQYKO88?si=syo-DYB2sHD5V79u

fine young cannibals, wall of voodoo/stan ridgeway.

Wall of Voodoo is such a great band! After Stan left, they still put out 2 studio albums that are so distinctly them, but also unique from their previous releases.

I don't know if its 'silly' but Health runs a phone number, a discord, and subjects Johnny to a bunch of miserable shit for laughs I guess.

Maybe Beck? Que’ Onda Guero always makes me giggle.

And, a bit of a different genre but Father John Misty’s songs are sarcastic and often nonsensical. They sound all romantic and dreamy but the lyrics don’t always match the vibe.

Beck is a tough one because he does have a lot of goofy songs, but they're mixed in with ones that are strange and surreal but less goofy.

Debra is a great example of a funny Beck song.

Girl I want to get with you / Only you / And your sister / I think her name is Debra

Lady, step inside my Hyundai

Angus McSix (formerly Angus McFife of Gloryhammer) is a hoot.

Somebody already recommended Primus so I have to come up with backup. And that is:

  • Nuclear Power Trio
  • Carnival in Coal
  • Igorrr

How silly are you looking for? It doesn't get sillier than We Ran Out Of CD Space by PsychoStick... or anything else by psychostick. But there's also Ninja Sex Party, Wolves of Glendale, First of October (listen to Ravioli).

While not outright comedy, there's a humor to Falling for Me by Parker the Bandit and It's Okay to Punch Nazis by Cheap Perfume

Thank You Scientist are seriously talented musicians who make very complex music, but don't take themselves seriously and have fun with their performances.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Ween, Dead Milkmen, Gwar, Nomeansno, Hansen Brothers, Pink n Brown, Jesus Lizard, Moistboyz, Stormtroopers of Death.

Them being ska punk makes it an easy pick, but Russkaja has great covers and original songs.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Estradasphere and Ween pop to mind
