Get ready to laugh your way through the most hilarious pop songs that will have you in stitches! We're diving into tracks that are not just catchy, but packed with lyrics so ridiculous they'll make you question everything you know about music.
Transcript
00:00Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the unforgettable hit songs
00:08that are also really funny.
00:10For this list, we'll be looking at songs that are genuinely good, but feature some
00:14very funny lyrics.
00:20Number 10.
00:21I'm Too Sexy
00:23Right Said Fred
00:24Told from the point of view of a narcissistic male model, this campy dance track from British
00:35band Right Said Fred feels like a look inside the mind of Derek Zoolander.
00:40It's as unforgettable as it is ridiculous.
00:50Inspiration for the song actually started with its most famous lyric, I'm too sexy
00:55for my shirt.
01:03The band was making fun of self-absorbed men and ended up accidentally creating an iconic
01:08pop song as a result.
01:10Catchy, satirical, and just really fun to sing and dance along to, I'm Too Sexy is
01:15distanced enough from its cringy narrator for everyone to enjoy.
01:22Number 9.
01:23Whip It
01:24Devo
01:25Easily one of the most 80's songs to ever exist, the lyrics of this new wave synth pop
01:30classic have inspired countless musings and analyses of its meaning.
01:39But one thing is for certain, its collection of cliches and unhelpful instructions for
01:43locating and eliminating problems is actually really confusing.
01:47For such a well-known and well-worn retro hit, Whip It makes little sense at face value.
01:55What do you mean by whip it and why are you suddenly talking about cream that sat out
01:59too long?
02:03The lyrics are probably even more fun for listeners who are convinced they have a naughty
02:08double meaning.
02:13Number 8.
02:14Stacey's Mom
02:15Fountains of Wayne
02:17This 2003 single and its accompanying music video is the epitome of 2000's pop punk cheekiness.
02:31Part of what makes Stacey's Mom so hilarious is just how bold it is.
02:35The song's narrator is hilariously cocky about his crush on an older woman.
02:47His shameless way of letting Stacey down easy while still trying to come over to get a glimpse
02:51of her mom is the kind of stuff you'd expect from an American Pie movie.
03:03Mixing the juvenile humor of sex comedies with an earworm chorus, this iconic song became
03:09Fountains of Wayne's highest charting single.
03:16Number 7.
03:17Gonna Make You Sweat
03:19Everybody Dance Now
03:20C&C Music Factory
03:29This 1990 smash hit by the massively successful producing duo Clavillus and Cole and their
03:35C&C Music Factory supergroup has one of the most instantly recognizable hooks in pop music.
03:41The rest of its lyrics haven't necessarily endured in cultural memory.
03:51Most of the song features pretty standard, simple rhymes about getting on the dance floor.
04:00Everyone in the 90s was too busy dancing to notice the words, but there's a lot to chew
04:04on in there.
04:05Lines like,
04:06I'm just a squirrel trying to get a nut to move your butt should not be ignored.
04:18Number 6.
04:19We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together
04:21Taylor Swift
04:22Given how much her personal life was dominating the news cycle at the time, everyone was absolutely
04:36eating up this wry revenge song from Taylor Swift.
04:48Addressing a frustrating ex who never makes time for her yet still always comes crawling
04:53back, We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together is her sarcastic battle cry.
05:03Anyone who's ever wanted to stick it to an ex can relate.
05:06From mimicking her ex's accent to taking apart all his pretensions and belittling statements,
05:12she lets him have it in the most glorious way possible.
05:15There's no way not to sing this one at the top of your lungs.
05:25Number 5.
05:26The Fox, What Does The Fox Say?
05:29Ylvis
05:30If you don't remember this one, you must have blocked it out because it was everywhere.
05:42Day in, day out, we all heard this Norwegian pop duo's viral novelty song.
05:47The music video has over a billion views on YouTube.
05:50It's probably safe to say it's not because the lyrics are incredibly deep.
06:00Aside from posing some deeply philosophical questions about lupine communication, comedy
06:05duo-turned-hitmakers Ylvis leaned heavily into the bizarre.
06:16Throughout The Fox, they cycle through a series of animal noises followed by several bars
06:21of rhythmic, almost belligerent gibberish.
06:23It's impossible not to be charmed by just how dumb it is in the best way.
06:33Number 4.
06:34I'm On A Boat, The Lonely Island Featuring T-Pain
06:37This one is so convincing as an actual rap song that it's kind of easy to forget that
06:42it's meant to be a parody.
06:44Well, maybe the stuff about climbing buoys and owning flippy floppies tipped you off.
06:54But I'm On A Boat is an uproariously funny song full of pop culture references and genuinely
07:00unhinged bragging.
07:01Most famous for their work on Saturday Night Live, the trio consisting of Andy Samberg,
07:12Yorma Ticone, and Akiva Schaefer wrote several viral pop spoofs.
07:20But a collaboration with T-Pain actually put them on the Billboard Hot 100 charts and earned
07:25them a Grammy nod.
07:30Number 3.
07:31WAP, Cardi B Featuring Megan Thee Stallion
07:34Let's face it, we all needed a laugh in 2020.
07:44From its repeated hook to its not-safe-for-work full title, WAP was making listeners belly
07:49laugh at the absurdity and shameless naughtiness of it all.
07:57Released at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, this brash, vulgar, and endlessly quotable
08:02hip-hop duet climbed the charts and whipped up a moral panic.
08:10Hyper-specific and filled with the most hilarious and obscene imagery, WAP features Cardi B
08:16and Megan Thee Stallion describing erotic scenes in vivid detail.
08:20A few years later, it still has the power to make us gasp and guffaw.
08:29Number 2.
08:30Barbie Girl, Aqua Upon its release in 1997, the Europop single
08:41immediately became a massive earworm, like its namesake doll.
08:45So cute and bubbly, you might not expect there to be any subtext here, but the provocative,
08:55satirical lyrics are enough to make you pause once you realize what the song is actually
09:00doing.
09:01Sure, they're just describing the things you can do with a Barbie doll, right?
09:09Not everyone was laughing.
09:10Mattel actually sued MCA Records, Aqua's American label, for violating several Barbie-related
09:17copyrights.
09:18The suit went nowhere.
09:19Mattel would later use the song in its own marketing.

09:46Baby Got Back, Sir Mix-a-Lot
09:55This track from the early 90s has been referenced, sampled, and parodied several times, including
10:01Nicki Minaj's Anaconda.
10:03But the original was a culture shift.
10:05Sir Mix-a-Lot's ode to big butts and thick bodies is full of hysterically funny and downright
10:11goofy lyrics.
10:16From the opening dialogue addressed to someone named Becky to the stream of compliments,
10:21Baby Got Back is a ride from start to finish.
10:24While some critics thought the song was misogynistic, Sir Mix-a-Lot felt he was celebrating body
10:29positivity.
10:30Regardless, lines like, red beans and rice didn't miss her, and begging for a piece
10:36of that bubble are hard to get out of your head once you hear them.
