Wanted: funny Welsh songs

Post categories:

James McLaren James McLaren | 10:26 UK time, Monday, 4 July 2011

This week I'm at a bit of a loss. Whether it's a result of the slightly soporific, lazy-day haziness of the weather or simply an accident of cause and effect, not much seems to be happening.

Sure, there's the happening and Kids In Glass Houses have been busy with the unveiling of the video for their new single , but there's very little in the way of big news.

So, there are two things I'd like your help with: firstly, fill me in if there's something major that has flown beneath my radar, and secondly, suggest in the comment section below the funniest Welsh songs. Bear with me...

I was thinking some weeks ago about genuinely funny British tracks, and whether there's a uniquely British humour that manifests itself in pop; sometimes it's a an arch social commentary, sometimes it's a saucy musical equivalent of 's work. Sometimes it's just a musical pratfall.

Here are a few examples of what I mean:

  • (The pub banter)
  • (The 1970s teenage urban love)
  • (The juxtaposition of children's TV and social commentary)
  • (The Test Match Special theme tune)
  • (The clever lyricist mangling rhyming couplets)

You get the idea.

Feel free to suggest songs from the Welsh canon that makes you laugh, and say why. We'll do a follow-up blog featuring some of the best.
