Dead Mans Party- Oingo Boingo

Answer 4

Mary anne and wanda were the best of friends
All through their high school days
Both members of the 4h club
Both active in the ffa
After graduation mary anne went out lookin
For a bright new world
Wanda looked all around this town
And all she found was earl

Well it wasnt two weeks
After she got married that
Wanda started gettin abused
She put on dark glasses and long sleeved blouses
And make-up to cover a bruise
Well she finally got the nerve to file for divorce
She let the law take it from there
But earl walked right through that restraining order
And put her in intensive care

Right away mary anne flew in from atalnta
On a red eye midnight flight
She held wandas hand as they
Worked out a plan
And it didnt take long to decided

That earl had to die
Goodbye earl
Those black-eyed peas
They tasted all right to me earl
Youre feeling weak
Why dont you lay down
And sleep earl
Aint it dark
Wrapped up in that tarp earl

The cops came to bring earl in
They searched the house
High and low
Then they tipped their hats
And said thank you ladies
If you hear from him let us know

Well the weeks went by and
Spring turned to summer
And summer faded into fall
And it turns out he was a missing person
Who nobody missed al all

So the girls bouth some land
And a roadside stand
Out on highway 109
They sell tennessee ham
And strawberry jame
And they dont
Lose any sleep at night cause

Earl had to die
Goodbye earl
We need a break
Lets go out to the lake earl
Well pack a lunch
And stuff you in the trunk earl
Well is that all right
Good lets go for a ride
Earl hey

@Frieza- damnit, that was mine. I'll find another Maiden one.. Iron Maiden - "No Prayer for the Dying" Hypnos 69 - "Requiem (for a Dying Creed)" Metallica - "Creeping Death" Thin Lizzy - "Angel of Death" Ghost - "Death Knell" Constantine - "Through the Veil of Death" Black Sabbath - "After All (the Dead)" Frost* - "Dear Dead Days" BQ: Well. A bit stirred up because I'm not intelligent enough to figure out my stemming C++ lab in school. I suppose I am a beginner, but my sense of logic while coding goes downhill. So, yeah. A bit annoyed. ;) BQ2: At school; sorry, can't open YouTube links.

Answer 6

"Mama" by My Chemical Romance off of theirThe Black Parade album. That song is really catchy for someone singing about how we're all gonna die and how "we're all meant for the flies":)

Here's the lyrics:

Mama we all go to hell.
Mama we all go to hell.
I'm writing this letter and wishing you well.
Mama we all go to hell.

Mama we're all gonna die.
Mama we're all gonna die.
Stop asking me questions, I hate to see you cry.
Mama we're all gonna die.

And when we go don't blame us, yeah,
We let the fire just bathe us, yeah,
You made us oh so famous
We?ll never let you go.
And when you go don't return to me my love.

Mama we're all full of lies.
Mama we're meant for the flies.
And right now they're building a coffin your size.
Mama we're all full of lies.

Well mother what the war did to my legs and to my tongue,
You shoulda raised a baby girl
I shoulda been a better son
If you could counter the infection, they can amputate at once
You should?ve been
I could've been a better son.

And when we go don't blame us, yeah,
We let this fire just bathe us, yeah,
You made us oh so famous,
We'll never let you go.

She said you ain't no son of mine
For what you've done there
You?ll find a place for you
And just you mind your manners when you go.

And when you go don't return to me my love,
That's right.

Mama we all go to hell,
Mama we all go to hell,
It?s really quite pleasant except for the smell,
Mama we all go to hell.

Mama, Mama, Mama, ohhhh.
Mama, Mama, Mama.

Liza: and if you would call me your sweetheart, i'd maybe then sing you a song.

Gerard: but the **** that I've done with this spark of a gun,
You will cry us to rise up alive.

We?re dead after all.
Through fortune and fame we fall.
And if you can say that I?ll show you the way
And straight from the ashes you crawl.

We all carry on,
Like our brothers in arms we fall,
So raise your guns high for tomorrow we die,
And return from the ashes you're from.



I mean really, you'll be tapping your toe the whole time! Ok maybe the song isn't all that humorous but it sure does have the upbeat part down pat.

Answer 7

There's an old song from the sixties, an Australian song called "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport". It's hysterical!
"Tan me hide when I'm dead, Fred.
Tan me hide when I'm dead.
So we tanned his hide when he died, Clyde,
and that's it hangin' on the shed."

Answer 8

Please Don't Bury Me - John Prine

Woke up this morning
Put on my slippers
Walked in the kitchen and died
And oh what a feeling!
When my soul
Went thru the ceiling
And on up into heaven I did ride
When I got there they did say
John, it happened this way
You slipped upon the floor
And hit your head
And all the angels say
Just before you passed away
These were the very last words
That you said:

Please don't bury me
Down in that cold cold ground
No, I'd druther have "em" cut me up
And pass me all around
Throw my brain in a hurricane
And the blind can have my eyes
And the deaf can take both of my ears
If they don't mind the size

Give my stomach to Milwaukee
If they run out of beer
Put my socks in a cedar box
Just get "em" out of here
Venus de Milo can have my arms
Look out! I've got your nose
Sell my heart to the junkman
And give my love to Rose

Please don't bury me
Down in that cold cold ground
No, I'd druther have "em" cut me up
And pass me all around
Throw my brain in a hurricane
And the blind can have my eyes
And the deaf can take both of my ears
If they don't mind the size

Give my feet to the footloose
Careless, fancy free
Give my knees to the needy
Don't pull that stuff on me
Hand me down my walking cane
It's a sin to tell a lie
Send my mouth way down south
And kiss my *** goodbye

Please don't bury me
Down in that cold cold ground
No, I'd druther have "em" cut me up
And pass me all around
Throw my brain in a hurricane
And the blind can have my eyes
And the deaf can take both of my ears
If they don't mind the size
