Now a handful of so of Bill's last category - what he would term pretty good legit rock songs that happen to be funny, or funny songs that happen to be pretty good legit rock songs:
*"Clowns" — one of many nice humorous endeavors from Too Much Joy that really rock! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O52mNrTjYTE
*"Dead Skunk" is an immortal "one hit wonder" of the 1970s... though the artiste in question, Loudon Wainwright III, went on to a pretty distinguished career as a singer-songwriter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uu5hzc2Mei4
* This guy had a brief celebrity. Bill doesn't support the overall message, but the verse about Jackson Browne is a keeper: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSktY_6sL-4
* This is a group called Two Nice Girls. Hint: There aren't two, they aren't girls, and they are not nice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMiV27R1ZiI
Bill's top 3 Hall of Fame immortals:
* Mr Bo Diddley, with his maracas-playing foil, Jerome https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45ZdKCFFR3I
* (Bonus! A sequel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHXDkLl7CCc  )
* "I, Viv Stanshall, trumpet" is one of the most beautiful sentences in the English language: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcrUuCDFLOQ
*And this could be the greatest of them all; Mojo Nixon, who died this year, was a great man. Bill once wrote about him, "He's like a friendly but not-quite-housebroken German shepherd: He means well but tends to make a mess, and he'll bite your leg if angered." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qt81bVae4tQ
