[Hilarious] Song Gags That Kill at Parties and Performances (41–50)
launch; founding; starting up (e.g., of a new organization or enterprise)Iron Head
Ironhead’s “Flag Raising” sets lyrics about red-and-white flag lifting to a pleasant melody and presents them in an unmistakably dramatic way.
If you just sing it straight, it really becomes “simply a good song,” so adding visual humor is the key to turning it into a laugh riot.
Ideally, form a duo unit, and the costumes should definitely be gym uniforms.
Because it’s so warm♪tardigrade
A song with a mysterious power that makes you burst out laughing during the chorus for no obvious reason.
The lyrics are genuinely good, but they occasionally slip into girlish expressions, and as the voltage steadily rises toward the chorus, the audience’s anticipation hits the max! In the end, everyone sings together, shifting gears from roaring laughter to a heartwarming stage where you can savor a sense of unity!
Poi SongPlus Minus Iwahashi
It’s a funny musical bit where he improvises and sings a song in an EXILE style.
The singer is Iwahashi from Plus-Minus, known for his quirky habits.
As you can see in the video, he’s an excellent singer! And even though the song doesn’t actually exist, both the melody and the lyrics sound totally like EXILE (lol)! You could try swapping in your own favorite artist instead of EXILE and do it too.
My boyfriend is left-handed.Tomoda, me.
Tomoda’s talent, which had drawn attention since his time in Waseda University’s comedy club “Owarai Kobo LOUD,” skyrocketed after he encountered the routine “My Boyfriend Is Left-Handed.” With this bit, Tomoda appeared on numerous comedy shows and in comedy competitions.
The routine sets up a series of gags that make you want to yell, “There’s no way that’s true!!” in time with Megumi Asaoka’s classic song ‘My Boyfriend Is Left-Handed.’ Compared to other types of material, song-based routines might be easier to memorize, so they could suit people who don’t have much time to practice.
It’s a handy musical-comedy bit for party entertainment—perfect whether you perfectly copy Tomoda’s act or insert your own jokes.
When you’re tired, Ehime.Wagyu (Japanese beef)
A PR song for Ehime, sung by the newly appointed tourism ambassadors of Ehime Prefecture.
The music video, which takes you around Ehime’s sightseeing spots, is really entertaining.
The lyrics promote Ehime very earnestly, but the song has a very moody, kayōkyoku-style vibe, so it might be fun to break it out suddenly at karaoke! Listeners will probably chuckle at the sheer unexpectedness of it.
Another highlight is how oddly catchy it is—it really sticks in your head.
Song of Saitama PrefectureHanawa
This is Hanawa’s “Saitama Prefecture Song,” the theme song for the film Fly Me to the Saitama.
It became a popular, much-talked-about track.
It’s an upbeat song that really gets the crowd going, and singing it together boosts the vibe even more.
It’s a perfect pick for a performance.
You might also consider showcasing the classic “Saga Prefecture Song” along with it! Be sure to practice it at karaoke.
In conclusion
We’ve introduced plenty of popular song-based comedy bits.
There are ones we’d love guitar players to try, as well as bits you can perform a cappella—lots of different styles.
