Call up Ray Stevens and C.W. Mc Call individually for a ton more.

    Hmmm….
    “Wildwood Weed” by Jim Stafford
    “My Ding-A-Ling” by Chuck Berry
    “Cover of the Rollling Stone” by Dr. Hook
    “Spiders & Snakes” by Jim Stafford
    “Roller Derby Queen” by Jim Croce
    “Uneasy RIder” by Charlie Daniels Band
    “My Girl Bill” by Jim Stafford
    Didja see that Jim Stafford had 3 top 40 hits in the 70′s and all of them were “humorous”? !!!

    He did another song about stealing the all the pieces of a Cadillac from the plant …”I got it one piece at a time and it didn’t cost me a dime”….I can’t remember the title but, he steals the pieces and builds the car over time. Also, Cocaine Blues is a good one by Johnny Cash.
    Hot Rod Linclon too.

    have you heard of the band Primus? most of their songs are based on humorous random stories and what not.

    There’s a whole littany of incredible story songs that originate from the original folk ballads in any variety of cultures. There are tons of great American comedic songs and I think the best place a great place to start is Arlo Guthrie. His “Alice’s Restaurant Massacree” is an absolute CLASSIC and clocks in at about SEVENTEEN minutes! Here’s a recent live version that’s a little hard to hear, but it’s available elsewhere: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_7C0QGki…
    While the song does have a political message behind it, it’s still absolutely hilarious. Guthrie has written a lot of songs in this style and another good track is ‘Motorcycle’. Good luck!
