10 Hilarious Joke Songs By Rock Artists
5. Drive My Car - The Beatles
Throughout their entire career, the Beatles never really liked to let go of their sense of humor. If you look back on some of the interviews from around that time, the wit that every one of the Fab Four have is so endearing to listen to, especially with George Harrison's dry humor. Since these were the guys who would eventually be having fun with the Monty Python troupe, it should be no surprise that they found a way to incorporate their humor into a song.
Granted, Rubber Soul was the first album where the band decided to expand their horizons as songwriters, with Drive My Car being an obvious tribute to the kind of soul that was being made in Memphis at the time. While Lennon and McCartney started this song with their usual lovestruck formula, the girl in this song actually has some other intentions when she tries to woo this man into being her chauffeur.
From what she's saying, it looks like she's one of the most famous starlets in the world, saying that she'll want the narrator to be her driver and maybe she'll love him. When you hit that last verse though, we find out that she doesn't even have a car, but she's at least going in the right direction by having a driver wrapped around her finger. She might not ever reach those kind of dreams that she's aiming for, and yet that doesn't even matter when she has this boy at her side.
