I’d like to thank you all for forcing me to mute the Chiefs game. Much more enjoyable.
I would have gone with “Cher Supply” to punish you for the category

Comment: Seems funny enough to me. The TSO song is an absolute classic. I actually looked pretty hard for another Stray Cats song, but they really don’t have anything better than Rock This Town. It’s a great song though, so no shame in that.
I didn’t completely hate either of these songs. But I didn’t love them either. I’d definitely go with Stray Cat Strut for best Stray Cats song. And also I dinged because Orches-truh does not flow into Stray.

In 8th Place: AC/DC Talk
Song: The Jack and Consume Me
Artist: AC/DC Talk
Link:Comments: I honestly don’t know if this hits the category but I thought it was a fun idea.
Not sure about this AC/DC song. DC Talk was ok but kinda boring. My humor needle didn’t move much.

In 7th place - Kanye Westside Gunn
Song: Who Will Survive in America / Bash Money
Artist: Kanye West / Westside GunnLinks:
I actually really liked this Kanye song. I have it a 10/10. But the other song didn’t do much for me, and neither did the name.

Oym owt
The next 5 names all gave me a chuckle.
In 5th place - Faith No Morbid Angel
Combined Artist Name: Faith No Morbid Angel
- Song: Last Cup of Sorrow
Artist: Faith No More
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjEbHBafvm0- Song: I Am Morbid
Artist: Morbid Angel
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6C4BNZBX_EComments: Faith No More have some much better known hits, but Last Cup of Sorrow has always been my favorite of theirs, and a song I can just leave on repeat.
Morbid Angel were pioneers of death metal, and I Am Morbid is one of their more catchy songs…so much as one is able to consider death metal “catchy”.
This one got the second highest chuckle score. But the songs didn’t do a ton for me.

In 4th place - Pickled Di(ck)xie Chicks
Artists: Pickled Di(ck)xie Chicks
Songs: Man Eater - Pickled Dick and Goodbye Earl - Dixie Chicks
links:
Man Eater - YouTube
The Chicks - Goodbye Earl (Official Video) - YouTube
Commentary: Look, I know they changed their name but come on, when they recorded the song, they were the Dixie Chicks. Also, you need to watch the video, because it’s a classic. Also, you’re probably wondering how I found such an obscure punk band for the first half of this supergroup…through a friend who is an old-school punk musician.
Loved the name. The songs left me kind of flat. I expected a lot more from a band named Pickled Dick than a 90s-ish Blink 182 thing that didn’t really go anywhere.

In 3rd place - Ugly Kid Joe Cocker
Song: everything about you / with a little help from my friends
Artist: Ugly Kid Joe Cocker

Comments: Do Ugly Kid Joe even have a best song? I dunno. I will admit I liked that album as a dumb teenager.
Is it Joe Cocker’s best song? I have no idea, never thought much about Joe Cocker.
Is it a funny combo? Hell ya.
Good chuckle factor. Bonus for Cocker’s best song and Ugly Kid Joe’s best song. Unfortunately I am not a big fan of that Ugly Kid Joe song, which is the only ding. Cocker got 10 points, Ugly Kid Joe got 5.
