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 it's usually when a song is far from the usual genre/style of the artist - music or lyrics (or both) are very different.
"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.
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.
A death metal band covering Britney Spears? Sounds like having fun.
I like this pirate-like heavy metal song. It's funny as hell.
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).
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.
Britney Spears in the good hands of the Zappa family...
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.
The Newcomers
It wasn't even made to be taken seriously. It was just a diss track. The song is seriously overhated.
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.
A cover of a song from LazyTown, before the memes too.
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.
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!
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.
