My favourite still has to be "Excitable Boy" by Warren Zevon.
Good ol':
"Well he took little Suzy to the junior prom.
Excitable Boy, they all said.
Well, he killed her and raped her,
then he took her home.
Excitable boy, they all said..."
One amusing kind of song is the hate song. The song that just says
"Fuck You" in the perfect way.
Who can think of any really good ones?
My award goes to a band called Derringer, featuring Rick Derringer.
The song is called "If I weren't so romantic, I'd shoot you."
It was written by (great moments in bizarre collaborations) Bernie
Taupin (He wrote alot of Elton John's stuff, didn't he?) and Alice
Cooper (After all, a man who writes stuff like 'Cold Ethyl' can't be
all too sane)
But there are the others. Martin Briley's "You ain't worth the salt in
my tears" also comes to mind...

It's kinda hard to beat the Harry Nilsson classic in this category. "You're breakin' my heart, and tearin' it apart, so F*CK YOU!"
