Funniest Song Lyrics:
"Rattlesnake"
The Funny Lyrics: I hate your band, you understand?
You got no passion, it's all fashion Well you come you can, come come true You don't know, you got no clue I see through Your a rattlesnake And your full of s*** I f****** hate you Why They're Funny: They're not that funny on their own, but Tim from the band said that the way they sang the song and it's lyrics reflect (and poke fun) rap 'artists' whose whole songs consists of making fun of other 'artists.' that's pretty damn funny.

Religious and fastidious make a quest for the holy grail Why They're Misrhymed: ok, rail, grail, war, more, etc. That really doesn't work. Pity too, I love this song and it just sticks out at me everytime.
