Funny songs that cheer me up - or just stupid sense of humor?

Nobody is happy and motivated all the time. There are days on which you lay on your bed, thinking about all the stuff you need to get going with. The huge amount of homework, all the projects, the BLOG POSTS you have to write, studying for the upcoming exams.
A reasonable solution for these worries may be to actually do something but sometimes I prefer to do the exact opposite. That means listening to ridiculous, stupid but definitely funny songs. If you also want to escape daily life for a few minutes and have a good laugh (provided that we share the same sense of humor), go on and check out this post! :)

Let's start with a very dramatic song, sung by Ylvis who are two Norwegian comedians, already known for their song "What does the fox say?". I don't want to say much, you have to create your own opinion on it, but is Stonehenge now "a giant granite birthday cake or a prison far too easy to escape"? We'll never know...

The next one is made by Tobuscus, a quite successful youtube star. I simply love this song because I always have to smile at some point, no matter how often I already listened to it. "Did you know that cashews come from a fruit?"? Frankly, I didn't.

It's legitimate to be confused and irritated by the next video. Four 50-year-old men standing on stage wearing leggings, bandanas, wigs (except the singer) and make-up, singing about "The Burden of Being Wonderful". You will definitely change your opinion about Steel Panther, though, when you see them live on stage. Besides being a real good live act, all of the songs written by them are full of self-mockery and jokes about everything and everyone. They don't take themselves seriously and that's what makes them likeable.

Here they are. I guess everyone of you has heard of them: Tenacious D. Jack Black and Kyle Gass are two chubby, middle-aged men who still rock every stage mainly with their songs but a great part of their show is their enthusiasm and humor. The following video is an excerpt of their second of three albums "The Pick of Destiny" that was even made a film of. A fun fact about their albums is that there are short humorous skits in-between the songs.

"Die Ärzte", in English "The Doctors" are a German band playing an undefined genre.Their band history is quite long, so they crossed almost every existing genre by now. Nobody can say for sure what they actually play, but there is one sure thing: They have a lot of funny songs. "Elke" is one of them, you'll have the pleasure to listen to it. In this song Die Ärzte make fun of an overweight girl who stalked the band over months. According to reliable sources, Elke was positively surprised when she found out that a song was written "for" her by her gods.
Other songtitles such as "Meine explodierte Freundin" (My exploded girlfriend), "Geschwisterliebe" (Sibling love), "Ich bin reich" (I am rich) and "Männer sind Schweine" (Men are pigs) speak for themselves. Die Ärzte even wrote a whole album about hair - yes, about hair. It is called "Le Frisur".

I hope you enjoyed this little journey through the world I enter when I am bored and do not want to study. I am still looking for similar Russian songs, but my Russian is not that good yet, so it takes time to understand the lyrics.
By the way, listening to these songs and reading my text you spend about quarter an hour without doing anything productive, so you'd better start studying. ;) No seriously, you probably have to find something else to do now. To all the students out there, I wish you good luck for the exam season.
