I've adapted the previous post, and as a continuation with 80's reggae-rock: If you haven't heard it a million times yet like me, the first
Police album is mighty fine:
Outlandos d'Amour
and it has a funny track about a love relation with a blowup doll named Sally (apologies for the spoiler alert)
One more band from back in the day, but French and totally funny, are Elmer Food Beat. Here's one of my favourite songs:
Brigitte. Let's put it mildly, it's one of there more appropriate songs in the current #metoo world
And they still exist, here's again the same song, live in 2019:

30cm was their first album, and still the best
I keep coming up with old music from 80's and 90's. If you're into metal, the lyrics on some Primus songs are hilarious. And heck they've covered the entire
Charlie And The Chocolate Factory soundtrack (the first movie with Gene Wilder, not the Depp one)!! I still prefer their first two or three albums, such as this song, one of their most famous ones:
Tommy The Cat
But this video is from way before (two years?) the song was actually released
more suggestions for fun rockers: early Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jane's Addiction, Ween, The Presidents of the United States of America, Ben Folds Five, Breeders. And the mighty Sebadoh, not always the most happy lyrics perhaps, but their music makes me very happy, especially the Bakesale and Harmacy albums.
Bill Callahan wrote some very funny lyrics, his music is not always uplifting though. Here's two songs:
A Hit, Eid Ma Clack Shaw
Hey, has noone mentioned the Beastie Boys yet ????
Jeez!
Beck used to be fun too, the
Odelay album. Have lost track of what he did the last 20 years
Will I get banned if I mention Madonna's
Ray Of Light album (or just that song)? then please ignore what I said
Metal Molly was a Belgian band, they made I believe two albums which are very fun to sing along with. They sound a bit like dEUS, but more happy. Fuck me, love this album, and haven't heard it in ages!!!
yes, I keep updating and updating and now I can't stop
Speaking of dEUS,
some of their songs are uplifting but most of them probably not. But that I didn't think of him earlier. Their first guitarist was Rudy Trouvé, and the guy is hilarious, especially live, amazing dry humour, similar to Lou Barlow. He plays solo, but I can't find the funny song just now. He's also in many different bands, this is his last one
Dino and The Chicks
or how about some
Jackson 5?
Last for now: watching
failed auditions on Idols and X-factor is always
fun

If you want more, most of his albums are well worth the effort (I must admit that I haven't checked out his last albums though). But these songs are from
his 2010 self-titled album
