Music can largely influence a person”s mood. Sometimes, it”s not a bad idea to hit pause on the chill study playlist or skip the melancholic break-up songs. It”s important to embrace the lighter, comedic side of music every once in a while. Here”s a line-up that does just that.
“Fadeaway” by Garfunkel and Oates
The comedy/folk duo of Kate Micucci and Riki Lindhome put the most awkward part of break-ups into a song. Next time you need to do an awkward breakup, just let it fade away like the family in the “Back to the Future” photo.
“Sad Raps” by TJ Miller
Comedian TJ Miller, whose credits include “Cloverfield,” “Big Hero 6″ and “Transformers: Age of Extinction,” teams up with Ugly Duckling to deliver the most depressing rap song ever. If you think there”s a rapper that”s sadder, he”s flattered.

“Transformers Rap” by Smosh
The YouTube superstars rap about their favorite cartoon, despite the fact that “Transformers” creators wouldn”t pay them. Hardcore since “84!
“Club Villain” by Your Favorite Martian
This fun song parties with the coolest villains around, from Megatron to Freddy Krueger. And it”s a fun song on top of that, proving it”s good to be bad.
“Dreamgirl” by The Lonely Island
Norah Jones lends her groovy vocals to the “Saturday Night Live” troupe”s ode to their dream girl. But, like all “SNL” sketches, there”s a twist.
“Polkamon” by Weird Al Yankovic
A secret treasure, this Weird Al song goes through every single Pokemon ever in rhyme with an accordion. If you”re a Pokemon fan, or a polka fan, this is the song for you.
“If I Had $1,000,000″ by Barenaked Ladies
We may know them for “90s hits like “One Week,” but Barenaked Ladies” hysterical musing about what they”d do with $1,000,000 proves that this band has a funny bone.
“No Hablo Ingles” by Bowling for Soup
These hysterical rockers sing about three simple words that will get you out of any situation, no matter how awkward. It”s as easy as the third grade.
