Funny songs recommended for men in their 40s

You get into your thirties, start feeling settled into working life, and before you know it, you’re in your forties…

There must be many people who feel this way.

It’s also said that this stage of life comes with heavier responsibilities at work and increased stress.

So we’ve put together a selection of songs that might make men in this age group smile and feel energized.

Interesting songs recommended for men in their 40s (21–30)

A B-side track from the 2017 single “Fuyuban” (Winter Edition).

A three-piece rock band formed in 2004.

They’re a relatively recent band, but definitely one I want people to know about.

When this song was uploaded to YouTube, it gained support from overseas listeners and surpassed 2 million views.

It seems we all think the same things, doesn’t it?

A Blatant Lie / Sanma Akashiya Lyrics and Music: Toshihiko Takamizawa
a blatant lieAkashiya Sanma

A single released in 1987.

Born in 1955.

A comedian from Nara Prefecture.

The song was provided by Toshihiko Takamizawa of THE ALFEE.

The backing vocals were handled by Mamiko Takai of the then-popular Onyanko Club.

It’s a pretty decent song, but why is it that listening to Sanma’s singing voice makes it funny? (lol)

Interesting songs recommended for men in their 40s (31–40)

Impossible!! (You can’t do that)bakufū suranpu

Included on the 1984 album “Yoi.” A four-piece rock band formed in 1982 in Tokyo.

Due to inappropriate expressions in the lyrics, the song was designated as banned from broadcast by NHK.

For a while after its release, combined with their provocative live performances, the band was often treated as a comedy act.

KOME KOME WARkome kome CLUB

Included on the 1988 album “GO FUNK.” A six-piece rock band formed in 1982.

Riding on an uptempo, developing funk groove, the lyrics are made up of a string of nonsensical words—perfectly silly in a way that’s very funk—and that, paradoxically, makes it really click.

Included on the 1994 album “DRAGON.” Ending theme for Fuji TV’s “Things They Don’t Teach You at School!!”.

A two-member music unit formed in 1989.

Although it was the ending theme for a Fuji TV program, there’s a story that the members were furious about how poorly it was treated on the show.

The hard-hitting techno sound is very much their style.

Hey hey, thanks a bunch—much appreciated!SMAP

Included on the 1994 album “SMAP 006 ~SEXY SIX~.” A five-member idol group formed in 1988.

This single’s lyrics are entirely in Kansai dialect and were written around the theme of merchants in Namba, resulting in a song that’s quite unlike what you’d expect from an idol group.

Nodding Marchunazuki torio

A single released in 1982.

Beat Kiyoshi of Two Beat, who was active during the 1980s manzai boom.

He formed a trio with Yo-hachi Shimada of B&B and Ryusuke Matsumoto of Shinsuke and Ryusuke, and they released this single.

The trio’s name was chosen because if the three of them tried to do manzai together, they’d end up doing nothing but nodding.
