Funniest Song Lyrics:
"My Love"
The Funny Lyrics: My love is warmer that warmest sunshine,
softer than a sigh. my love is deeper than the deepest ocean, wider than the sky. Why They're Funny: When one reads these lyrics in print, they sound like an exceedingly romantic expression of tender love. but what is funny is how Petula is so the wrong singer for the song. she sings these romantic lines in a vindictive tone that sounds more like she's about to go ballistic and cuss somebody out than like she's expressing sweet love. she might as well be saying, "you listen to me --i love you, dammit!

What A Band is Best Known For (aside from their music):
"Featured in warning video of a suicide bomber"
To greet the Christmas Morn on December 25, 2010, Anthony Quinn Warner set up an infamous and mysterious suicide bombing in downtown Nashville, Tennessee. A part of the ongoing mystery is how he sought (successfully) to minimize human casualties other than his own, by having the RV, containing his bombs, play a loud warning audio, warning people to evacuate the area because the vehicle was about to explode. He set it up so that in the background of his audio, "Downtown" by Petula Clark was playing. Among the few clues to emerge early on as to his motive is a report that he had a long-standing hatred for police. The event corresponds in time to the near-end to a year in which fierce protests against police actions were common nationwide. How ironic, since a noteworthy result of his act has been how several local police officers were hailed for their heroism in expediting the evacuation!
