Top 10 Silly Songs to Own on Your MP3 Player

All of These Are Inoffensive

Phillip Wachowiak
These silly songs are songs that aren't particularly vulgar and as far as I know none of them contain any swearing. They are meant to be enjoyed by both you and the kids at the same time. Some of them are classics and some are new but all are fun to listen to and are sure to pick your spirits up.

1) Bananaphone

Ring, ring, ring...bananaphone! This song is one of my favorites of all time and I have even memorized most of the lyrics. It's sung by Raffi and is just a feel good tune similar to a Michael Bublé song.

2) Ragg Mopp

Ragg Mopp is sung by the Ames Brothers and as they say, it's an oldie but a goodie. It's probably not easy to find anymore but the simple lyrics and tune go a long way. All you have to remember to sing along is how to spell Ragg Mopp.

3) Mai Ai Hee

In years past this has been an internet phenomenon and popular with people all across the USA. It's addicting, fun, and there's a funny video of a kid singing it online-all the ingredients for a silly song.

4) Dead Puppies/Superhero

Stephen Lynch had to make this list and he has with a tie between two great songs. Superhero is the more popular one but I personally enjoy dead puppies because it's one of his cleaner songs. Nevertheless, it's imperative that you listen to at least one of his songs.

5) The Chanukah Song

This song by Adam Sandler is a timeless classic around Christmas time and is even fun to listen to outside of the holidays. It is Adam Sandler at his best and most creative and a must-listen.

6) White and Nerdy

Weird Al has always released creative material but White and Nerdy might just be the best one yet. It's a hilarious takeoff on a popular rap song titled "Ridin' Dirty" and completely turns the song upside down.

7) Mahna Mahna

There are many versions of this song sung by many different artists and the one I have is by the band Cake. This is another one that has been around for a long time and is always a classic.

8) Amazing Horse

When Weebl's Stuff released this online I was blown away. Both it and the music video are so ridiculously simple that it becomes hilarious. This isn't quite as popular as other songs but it's still a great listen.

9) Kung Foo Fighting

This song by Carl Douglas is a little bit of silliness, humor, and creativity. It's been a hit song, has been featured in multiple movies, and known well to the masses. Needless to say, this is the song that the person in the elevator next to you would know in case you need a singing buddy.

10) Gummy Bear

Released by Gummibar and is all about the tasty little gummy that everyone loves to eat. What can I say, it is a silly dance-themed song which is also available in German.

    LOL! Amazing Horse isn't inoffensive - certainly not child friendly. But hilarious all the same! This is a really cool list - love it!
