Comedy songs

Hi everyone! Here is a link to my YouTube channel, where I mostly make songs that hopefully count as comedy:

I would love any feedback from anyone. Feel free to be as harsh as you like, I'd prefer your honest opinions over sensitivity and tact.

Reminded me of Jake Thackray. Which is a good thing.

HI,
OK lets start with the negatives, I've always though people only ever write funny songs because they are no good at writing real songs, this always makes me feel like I'm listening to a failed musician as apposed to a comedian.
But I though about it, and realised I'm not giving funny song writers enough credit, after all, I don't look at great comedy writers like Ben Elton and think they are only writing comedy because they can't write drama!
So I listened to a few of your songs and I must say they are very funny, well written, clever and LOL funny.
I don't like funny songs wrote to other peoples songs because I just think there a little to easy, anyone can write alternative lyrics to Holiday by madona, but I think you should leave that to Weird Al!
the songs you wrote where very funny, I liked the I wish I was Gay, and chocolate ones best.
I'm looking forward to your next one so please let us know when you do it, and please make sure its funny!
well done!

If "anyone" can do it and make it work FunnyHaHa, crack on and show us all how easy it is...

Now I'm not saying they would be good but theres very little talent needed to right funny lyrics to other peoples songs.

Totally off the top of my head, I'm righting as I sing it in my head,

Example 1,
(To the tune of "Isn't she lovely" by Steve wonder!

Isn't she ugly
Isn't she pitiful
Isn't she smelly
made me feel sick you know
I never thought that this would be
I sobered up and there was she
God isn't she ugly makes me puke

Isn't she ugly
Truly the devils best
Boy, I'm so unhappy
how can I get out this mess
I can't believe what I has done
She look a little bit like my mum
but isn't she ugly made me cum!

Example 2
Return to sender by Elvis

I gave a letter to the surgeon,
About my sex change.
By early next morning,
The surgeon had wrote right back.

he wrote a to me:
Won't reverse gender,
a dress won't suit.
To much stubble,
To look cute.
Don't change you sex please, your just to fat
The world is full of mingers and I won't add to that.

The surgeon won't give me a mail box
Cut of my special D.
So if no one else will do it, I guess its down to me

he wrote a to me:
Won't reverse gender,
a dress won't suit.
To much stubble,
To look cute.
Don't change you sex please, your just to fat
The world is full of mingers and I won't add to that.

anyway, these were honestly the first two songs I thought of and I've just typed that up in ten minutes,
I honestly believe I could do a "Funny" version on any lyric based song. if anyone wants to test me feel free!

hope that shuts you up LOL!
