The Wibbley Brothers. Does anyone else remember them? "Who invented the umbrella? Terry Wibbley!" and a song dedicated to Custard Creams.

Here's a little number that Aaron will enjoy. Anyone know who did the original version?

An English Country Garden by Rolf Harris. Anyone remember that? I wish I didn't.

As mentioned Amateur Transplants are ace - London Underground an absolute killer, many of the rest are medical related ones (believe they were medical students at Imperial, hence digs at King's).

Do the Mighty Boosh crimping songs count as comedy songs?

I guess so. The soup one is best.

Pitman the rapping coalminer.

"I'm like Rigsby after Ms Jones, All Sack"

One of my favourite comic songs is 'Ullo John, Got a new motor' by Alexei Sayle. Very silly non-equiters, delivered in his hilariously aggressive manner.

Denis Leary has some good comedy songs.

No ones mentioned Tim Minchin?

I hate him.

I quite like him but he's not as funny as he thinks he is.

Tim Minchin - Prejudice http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1HXmYkxwSE

The Lonely Island - Jizz In My Pants http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pXfHLUlZf4

James @ War - Bad Grammar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mj6QqCH7g0Q

Stephen Lynch - Craig http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPdFrW076R0

I will declare my vested interest in this topic as I am the editor of Comedy-Songs.com. But I am still a person dammit!

I am surprised no one mentioned Tom Wilson - http://www.comedy-songs.com/artist.php?ID=65 - better known as Biff from Back To The Future.

Another one to check out is Dan and Dan - http://www.comedy-songs.com/artist.php?ID=4.

And sorry - but Tim Minchin is the king of comedy songs - http://www.comedy-songs.com/artist.php?ID=2 - especially Storm: http://www.comedy-songs.com/video.php?ID=2970

And there is always a place in my heart for Hugh Laurie: http://www.comedy-songs.com/artist.php?ID=25

There, I've stopped now.
