What are some good examples of metal songs that tried to get a laugh from the listener but totally f*cked up? Any notable ones?

What about songs that were meant to be serious but were funny as hell ?

I find Annihilator's "Never, Neverland" amusing. I know it's supposed to be dramatic, but the lyrics and the way the vocalist sings them just makes it a little corny to me.
Get back, back! Just leave us all alone Take that and that! I'll break your every bone

Japanese music often has some pretty hilarious english (or as we say, 'engrish') lyrics that are totally nonsensical or butchered in translation.
X Japan has just one example. The song "Stab Me in the Back" is entirely in english but horrible and laughable as a thrash metal type song:
Quote :
I'm having sex Wishing for six I'm having sex Touch me, Make me feel
Knock me out Marry Get me off Jane Knock me off Marry Pet me violently
Can't you give me more to the last? I can't get enough Take me down
I'm on Junk I'm getting high I'm on Junk Let me go mad
Kiss me off, vamp Get away, tramp Kiss me off, vamp Leave me, Why don't you
Can't you give me more? Do or Die I can't be satisfied
I can't take this life Stab me in the back I can't take my life Stab me in the back
* * Wipe out my lofe "Bask in blood" Dripping from your heart Destroy this world "Drive me mad" Don't need nothing in my life
Wipe out my life "Bask in blood" Dripping from your heart Destroy this world "Drive me mad" O.D.on sex
*
Can't you give me more? Do or Die I can't be satisfied
* *
Stab me in the back

I haven't heard the entire album yet, but judging from the video clips, I'd bet the entire Chris Holmes' solo album is one breathless giggle

Most Annihilator songs.
Love the music, but the vocals and lyrics have always been pretty funny.

A band I seen on YouTube called Ravenheart. They have a song called "Hell on Earth" that is non-intentionally hilarious!

Yea, I'd have to agree with that one.
S.O.D.= hilarious M.O.D. = not so much

Most of Mustaine's political stuff falls into the category of unintentionally hilarious.

I was listening to this CD on the way into work. It came on as I pulled into the large company corporate parking lot. I listen to music at a somewhat above average level - I was like - whoa - and lowered the volume - while grinning !
