comedy song
Funny musical number
A comedy song is a musical piece intended primarily to be funny rather than moving or beautiful.
The humor may come from absurd lyrics, parody of other songs or genres, comic timing, or unexpected subject matter.
Comedy songs appear in sketch shows, musical theater, novelty recordings, and stand-up acts: Weird Al has built a career on comedy songs.
