Top 10 Songs Where the Music Artists Were Just Having Some Fun
There are several signs that music artists were just having some fun.
Not always, but usually it's when a song is far from the artist's usual genre or style. The music or lyrics, or sometimes both, are very different.
-
Big Balls - AC/DC
"For the last time, the song is about ballrooms!" I love this song, as innuendos fill every single line of lyrics.
How about every single Steel Panther song ever... but yeah, this one by AC/DC is an obvious too.
-
Hocus Pocus - Focus
When a progressive rock band makes a song with yodeling and meaningless lyrics, you know they were just having some fun. This song became their most popular song. What's yodeling? Play the song sample and check out this list - Top 10 Songs with Yodeling.
-
Oops!...I Did It Again - Children of Bodom
A death metal band covering Britney Spears? Sounds like having fun.
-
Money - Gamma Ray
I like this pirate-like heavy metal song. It's funny as hell.
-
Surfin' Bird - Sodom
What reason would a thrash metal band have to cover this song? It's nowhere near thrash. The only reason is having fun. Moreover, the name of the original band is The Trashmen (trash, thrash).
-
Hocus Pocus - Iron Maiden
This song is a Focus cover - the original was already mentioned. The song is funny, and it was strange that a progressive rock band made a song of this type. When an elite metal band covers this song, it's obviously for fun, too. Basically, drummer Nicko McBrain was having fun. He was the "lead singer" and added some funny, albeit intentionally more meaningless, lines to the original lyrics.

Baby One More Time - Dweezil and Ahmet Zappa
Britney Spears in the good hands of the Zappa family...
-
What If? - Guttermouth
-
Der Jegermeister - Trollfest
-
Hocus Pocus - Helloween
Another Focus cover where a metal singer is yodeling. Iron Maiden didn't do the yodeling part because I guess nobody in the band was able to. But apparently, Andi Deris of Helloween can yodel. Who knew!

Diggy Diggy Hole - Wind Rose

Ass Like That - Eminem

All I Want for Christmas - Theocracy
A metal band makes an original Christmas song, not a cover. You know Christmas themes aren't typical in metal, and the lyrics of this song are far from the band's style. Moreover, the lyrics aren't typical Christmas lyrics either. In this song, Santa and all holiday heroes live in the US around 2010, and the Christmas heroes have problems.
-
Stupid Hoe - Nicki Minaj
It wasn't even made to be taken seriously. It was just a diss track. The song is seriously overhated.
-
Toxic - Trollfest
-
Fack - Eminem
Honestly, I understand why people hate this song, but it's so terrible it's hilarious to me. I think Eminem was not thinking when he made this and intentionally dropped one of the most randomly terrible yet funny songs ever.
-
Uptown Funk - Mark Ronson
-
You are a Pirate - Alestorm
A cover of a song from LazyTown, before the memes too.
-
Surfin' Bird - The Trashmen
-
Die Jbg3 Weihnachtsgeschichte - Kollegah & Farid Bang
With "Jung brutal gutaussehend 3," the two rappers have just released probably the most anticipated German hip hop album of the year. It's a sinister, dark, and fairly brutal record that overall lives from creating an intense and menacing atmosphere. Then, about two to three weeks later, they released "The JBG3 Christmas Story," which basically shows, ironically, how thugs celebrate Christmas. For example, Farid Bang dresses up as Santa Claus and then steals from the house he's in, which turns out to be Kollegah's. It doesn't take itself seriously at all and was probably purely the result of them fooling around in the studio.

All by Myself - Green Day

#selfie - The Chainsmokers

The Neden Game - Insane Clown Posse

Sunlight - Bag Raiders
-
All the Small Things - Blink-182

Dominated Love Slave - Green Day

Lookin' Out My Back Door - Children of Bodom
A death metal band covers a song originally by Creedence Clearwater Revival. Play the sample and watch the video clip to be convinced they did it for fun.
