The Beatles', "Act Naturally"
The Funny Lyrics:
They're gonna put me in the movies,
they're gonna make a big star out of me,
we'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely,
and all I gotta do is act naturally.
they're gonna make a big star out of me,
we'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely,
and all I gotta do is act naturally.
Why They're funny:
It's funny because it's almost depressing. Imagine someone told you that you had to act like a pathetic loser for a movie, but then said, "wait, just act like you usually do." and he called himself a loser.

The Beatles', "Come Together"
The Funny Lyrics:
Come together, right now....over me!
Why They're funny:
Uh, I hope that doesn't mean what I think it means....

The Beatles', "Come Together"
The Funny Lyrics:
He got feet down below his knee
Why They're funny:
Everybody has a foot below each knee; this line is just painfully obvious. Besides, as it's sung, it implies the guy has multiple feet and just one knee. Freaky.

The Beatles', "Eleanor Rigby"
The Funny Lyrics:
Wearing a face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Why They're funny:
I read somewhere that this line might have been used to describe the way Ms Rigby puts on a happy face, a smile that hides loneliness, when she goes out. I think it was a clever and beautiful (if a little unusual) way to put it.

Everybody's got something to hide except for me and my monkey!
Why They're funny:
The most ridiculous sounding lyrics ever. A monkey? Come on!

The Beatles', "Fool On The Hill"
The Funny Lyrics:
The fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning 'round.
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning 'round.
Why They're funny:
It's "the fool on the hill" that mentally visualizes the earth's rotation as he sees the sun go down. The song is anti-Copernican I guess!

The Beatles', "Glass Onion"
The Funny Lyrics:
I told you 'bout the walrus and me, man.
You know that we're as close as can be, man.
You know that we're as close as can be, man.
Why They're funny:
Yeah, but John said earlier, 'I am the 'walrus'! So does he have multiple personalities or something?

The Beatles', "Happiness Is A Warm Gun"
The Funny Lyrics:
I told you 'bout the walrus and me, man.
you know that we're as close as can be, ma
you know that we're as close as can be, ma
Why They're funny:
Is he talking about Paul? because later he says "Here's another clue for you all...The walrus is Paul!" So that could be a good thing or bad thing.

The Beatles', "Helter Skelter"
The Funny Lyrics:
I've got blisters on my fingers!
Why They're funny:
The longest song The Beatles ever recorded was Helter Skelter. This long yet still unreleased version is 27 minutes 11 seconds long. When you listen to the five minute released version, at the end, the song fades away, then cuts back ending with Ringo saying 'I've got blisters on my fingers', conveying his thoughts, after the 27 minute version.

The Beatles', "Hey Jude"
The Funny Lyrics:
Na, na na, na na na na,
na na na na, hey Jude...
na na na na, hey Jude...
Why They're funny:
After the main part of the song is over, the band decides to stretch it out another 2 or 3 minutes with these clever lyrics (which are also repetitive)...

The Beatles', "I Am The Walrus"
The Funny Lyrics:
Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come,
corporation t-shirt, stupid bloody tuesday man you've been a naughty boy,
you let your face grow long.
corporation t-shirt, stupid bloody tuesday man you've been a naughty boy,

Why They're funny:
Just plain acid-tripping creativity. If you listen to it a lot of times then it starts to make sense.

The Beatles', "Taxman"
The Funny Lyrics:
If you drive a car, I'll tax the street
If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat
If you get to cold, I'll tax the heat
If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet
If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat
If you get to cold, I'll tax the heat
If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet
Why They're funny:
Obviously written by George Harrison after receiving his annual tax demand but is there any need to give them ideas

The Beatles', "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"
The Funny Lyrics:
I look at the floor
And I see it needs sweeping
And I see it needs sweeping
Why They're funny:
The song's so soft and sad and he's thinking about the housework he needs to do? George, you shoulda had John and Paul give you a hand with the lyrics.

Don't we all want to say this sometimes?
