"Lullaby for the Working Class
Spare, mellow, almost ambient alt-country band from the late 90s.
I'm almost embarrassed that I'm only discovering them now.
Unbelievably great.
Some loose personnel associations with Bright Eyes.

Lighten Up!
Once a while, we have to stand back from the "serious" nature of the Tribe, and look at some of the really funny songs out there.

So let's all join Sgt. Hulka, and take his advice to lighten up a bit, and have a chuckle or two!

Cheech and Chongs version of Low Rider is pretty cool as well. Funnily enough I thought it was theirs for a long time until I discovered War.

Doctor Hook definitely were not eveyones cup of tea. They usualy had a fair share of humor in their songs though.

This National Lampoon track is hilarious...unless you feel Lennon is beyond parodying. The vocalist is Tony Hendra, who played the manage in This is Spinal Tap's manager. The lyrics are supposedly all lifted directly from Lennon Remembers:

How could I forget this one...even comes with actual film of the session. The immor(t)al "I'd Rather Be Dead" by the late, great Harry Nilsson:

That is definitely twisted...I was unenlightened to the song, and having a chorus of "old people" singing "I'd rather be dead than wet my bed..." Fine, fine, fine.

Could not find a video to post but this is a pretty funny little song by a good old folkie, John Gorka
Hank Senior Moment John Gorka
Your heart is broke Your liver too Your stomach's turned It's back on you
Lonesome and gray You cannot say Where all the dough wentYou're having a Hank Senior Moment
So pass that jar Or your guitar And I will play The fading star
Oh, please don't ask About my past Or how the show went
I'm having a Hank Senior Moment

He PERFORMED with the remaining Monkees, something I swear he said he would never do again after the '80s. It is baffling. As for the meeting, he was so gracious and answered…"

So Mike Nesmith. Yeah. WTF, right? Private, reclusive, mysterious for many years. A couple of years back, he got on Facebook and he posts long, winding tales about himself, his dogs, his home, his past, and a really lovely Mother's Day post last weekend. Photos go up. The whole thing. It's like he disappeared and then came back on his own terms. I didn't know how to take it. I'm a huge Monkees fan, no doubt. And, being a woman/girl of a certain age, I have a favorite and that favorite is Mike.…See More
