10 Funniest Joke Songs In Rock Music

9. Bonehead's Bank Holiday - Oasis

When Oasis arrived in the studio to start recording What's the Story Morning Glory, it was time to start pulling out the big guns. Since Definitely Maybe had already set the world on fire with classics like Rock n Roll Star and Live Forever, this was the moment to really hunker down and show the audience that this was just the beginning of the action. While songs like Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova were about to come down the pipeline, Bonehead's Bank Holiday was a nice way to break up the tension.

During the main recording sessions, things had gone fairly straightforward, until Noel decided to write this song about the group's rhythm guitarist and a fanciful tale about what he did on his holidays. From talking about strolling on the polluted beach to meeting his girlfriend's mum with a face like a nun, this is on par with something like Digsy's Dinner...only taken to the nth degree.

There was even a halfhearted attempt to get Bonehead to actually sing the song too, which quickly went to hell when he "loosened up" at the pub and stumbled back into the studio absolutely plastered. Then again, it's nice to know that while Oasis had tasted success, they were still the lovable goofballs we all knew and loved from their days in Manchester.
