Speaking of humor in music, I recently splurged on this blu-ray box set. Dated? Yep. But still a lot of fun, and the music is great pop, regardless that it was partially written & performed by ghost writers/players.

SEVEN WOMEN ON HIS MIND:
THE “TAKE IT EASY” LADIES TELL ALL

Sarah Layden wrote:3 & 4. Ann & Susan

We wanted kids for as long as we’ve been together. The ad in the Winslow Pennysaver was something we clipped and hung on the fridge. Hunting for wives, plural, in the Pennysaver? Who’d ever be that desperate? The “Desperado,” we’d call him, taking out a carton of milk.

Yeah. So.

When the plastic bin factory shut down after the BPA scare, both of us were suddenly out of work. I was on the lid line, Susan did boxes. We met in the Quality Control break room, which they padlocked on the day of the announcement.

The ad quickly became less hilarious. I called; we met at McDonald’s. He bought me a vanilla shake. Once I’d scoped him out, I told Susan to come inside. They really hit it off. I’d never seen Susan giggle or flip her hair before. Package deal, we insisted, and he said Sure. Once a month, he makes a point of packing everyone in the van and heading to Laser Tag so Suze and I can be alone. He’s never asked to watch us have sex. Which there is less of, these days.

It’s a place to live, and I suppose he’s decent, if you’re into dudes. Like lots of young people (not me), Susan had an experimental phase with men. She calls him “semi-attractive,” and when it was our at-bat, she took one for the team. We’re having a boy in June. Our first.

I personally don't get what's so great about the warm smell of colitis, but maybe that's just me.

The questions that haunt us all:

THIRTY-NINE QUESTIONS FOR CHARLIE DANIELS UPON HEARING “THE DEVIL WENT DOWN TO GEORGIA” FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 25 YEARS
1. The Devil won that fiddling contest, right?

2. Because isn’t that totally amazing fiddle feedback thing the Devil plays (which sounds like Hendrix gone bluegrass) a hundred times better than that high-school-band piece-of-crap tune Johnny plays?

3. I mean, come on, right?

4. And since the Devil is so clearly better, why does he lay the golden fiddle on the ground at Johnny’s feet?

‘Any Song Can Be Sad If It Has Sad Memories Attached To It,’ Report Newly Single Sources
“Sometimes the songs that used to make you the happiest are now the songs that hurt most, you know?” said a teary Ted Villaire, 38, tossing an old Blues Traveler CD in the trash because the song “Run-Around” now only makes him think of everything he had lost.

Just Say The Word, And We’ll Perform With Socks On Our Penises Again
Anthony Kiedis wrote:In the Peppers’ 35 years of existence, we’ve gone through a lot of changes: guitarists, hairstyles, producers, record labels—the list goes on. What can I say? It’s been a hell of a ride, but here it is, 2018, and we’re still bringing you the funk. Through the years, we’ve never for a moment forgotten all the times we rocked out on stage with nothing but socks on our penises. In fact, we talk quite a bit about bringing that back. Which leads me to ask: Should we?

Yeah, he can be funny at times, but a lot of his stuff "reeks of effort"

Oh, come on. Watch him say "Yeah" at 3:00 in this truly wonderful clip, then lecture his fellow urinalists about the truth:
