10 Hilarious Joke Songs By Rock Artists

Throughout rock history, Frank Zappa really deserves the retroactive award for the first musical troll. Long before we got the likes of Neil Cicirega to create comedy songs, Zappa just started to throw words together to keep the audience engaged with some of his signature wild tunes. And just from the first lines of this song, most people are already intrigued.

Since this is the same guy who's most famous song is about not eating yellow snow, it's only natural that we find our way back to toilet humor for the comedic tracks. Being a tribute to two of the members of Zappa's crew, this entire track is just a piss take on the wonders of getting STDs, with the main character having to go to the doctor and getting into various hijinx dealing with his...ahem...problems. Honestly, this is one of the few songs that you shouldn't really spoil too much, considering that Zappa himself can think of much funnier jokes for this than most of us ever could.

The more you listen to this song though, the more you appreciate what it's doing in a weird way. Sure, the lyrics might not be the most thoughtful thing in the world, but the progressive music that's going on underneath actually trains your brain to think outside the box of what you're used to listening to. As much as Zappa might still be the resident weirdo of rock music, Why Does It Hurt When I Pee is one of the most unlikely songs that could make you a better musician for having listened to it.
