A large part of the appeal of the original Van Halen lineup was in David Lee Roth's humorous lyrics and attitude. Most hard-rockin' bands still haven't gotten that message.

This has to be one of the best and was my 1st thought for this thread.
So I'm settling on: It's Hard To Kiss The Lips At Night That Chew Your Ass Out All Day Long. If you ever had a bad relationship, you'll like this.

I just showed a video of this song to my younger daughter, but I used the drunk-out-of-their-minds live version.
I explained to her that, like many of the bands hits, it was written by Shel Silverstein, who was also a cartoonist for Playboy and an acclaimed author of children's books.
Then I showed her another funny tune penned by Silverstein...
... and another that was dark and depressing.

That reminds me of this, which is more pathetic than funny.
I'm surprised Roger Miller hasn't been mentioned yet. His work is a great example of how comedy is often deeper and darker than the serious stuff.
