Toilet Humour / Music

Go To

  • Da Yoopers dabble in this frequently, including "Diarrhea" (the man wants to go on a date, but can't because of diarrhea), several comedy sketches related to farting, and even Songs for Fart Lovers.
  • Punk rock band Descendents' album Enjoy! was panned by critics because of this. The toilet humor theme even extended to the artwork - the front cover depicts a roll of toilet paper on a bathroom wall, the back cover is similar but a hand is reaching out for a now-empty roll, and there's a list of slang terms for feces where one would expect the album's track-list to be.
  • Donovan has "The Pee Song" about a three-year-old peeing on a tree like a dog. It also has "The Intergalactic Laxative" about going to the bathroom in space.
  • The musician Flatulina has a rare medical condition that makes her remarkably gassy. Her only album is a collection of Christmas tunes on which she accompanies a more traditional band with her farts. Fortunately, there are other types of humor on the record than fart jokes (ie: cheery kazoo parts, a trained "fish choir"), there are a couple of tracks that don't feature flatulence, and the tracks are concise enough so they don't overstay their welcome to the point where the album itself is about 16 minutes long.
  • Frank Zappa used this on occasion, perhaps most famously on "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow" and the Joe's Garage album.
  • Paul Boomer vs. Lord Windesmere... in The Great Crepitation Contest of 1946. This reportedly originated as an in-house joke by CBC Sports announcers.
  • Green Day's first major album is titled Dookie It was originally going to be titled "Liquid Dookie". You know, diarrhea...
  • Pretty much anything by Ivor Biggun, for example "I've Farted" and "Richard the Third (He's in the Business Now)".
  • A 1999 novelty album, "Jingle Smells," was released. The CD was nothing but Christmas songs performed with farting. Entertainment Weekly gave the CD a grade of "F".
  • Composer Johann Heinrich Schmelzer wrote a sonata called "The Day of the Fart", where a bassoon inserts farting sounds into the music.
  • Judy Pancoast wrote "Seven Words That Make Kids Laugh". The words are implied to be things like "pee", "butts" and "booger". She also wrote a song about the Potty Dance.
  • Katy Perry and Jimmy Kimmel collaborated on a song called “Yum Yum Nom Nom Toot Toot Poop”, about eating, farts, and poop.
  • Indie folk singer/songwriter Kimya Dawson has been known to incorporate bodily functions into some of her lyrics since she started writing music. However, when she recorded a children's album entitled Alphabutt, she was sure to cram in as much toilet humor as possible for the kids. The title track alone features lines like "F is for fart/G is for gorilla fart, H is for huge gorilla fart."
  • Koit has plenty of potty-humour songs, about a variety of things, including a man with a Shy Bladder, a girl who plays with poop, and a foul-mouthed baby with a messy diaper.
  • Massacration has a song called "The Bost Thunder" about taking a shit.
  • Monty Python:
    • They have an audio-only version of this on one of their records about embarrassment. It goes on to ask if any of these noises embarrass you. Sounds of various Squicky bodily functions follow.
    • The soundtrack album of Monty Python and the Holy Grail features "live" coverage of a screening of the movie at the Classic in Silbury Hills. Part of the coverage takes place in the men's room of the theater where Michael Palin describes the construct and the fixtures.
  • The opening of NOFX's love song "Instant Crassic":
    I'm swimming in a sea of pee
    I'm hiking up a big mountain of poo.
  • In the middle of "Body Bag" by No Means No, there is a recording of someone (presumably one of the band members) urinating. The outro of the song features more of this, followed by a bit of laughter.
  • Parody Songs:
  • At the end of the Preschool Popstars song "I Didn't Mean to Burp", the girls sing that at least they were burping, not farting.
  • The track "Promentalshitbackwashpsychosis Enema Squad (The Doo Doo Chasers)" by Funkadelic from One Nation Under a Groove is nothing but toilet comedy jokes, sang by a choir who describe they live in a world where people literally "talk shit".
  • "I Can't Stop Farting" by The Queers.
  • Rob Balder's Filk Song "Ars Musica - It Had to Be You" note  is basically a Hurricane of Fart Jokes. Slightly squicky, in the artist's words.
  • Roy Harper's track Advertisement (Another Irrelevant Intentional Suicide) takes place in a toilet, with toilet sound effects audible in the background, and lines like "Standing there watching my member hanging there squirting the loo... Hanging there squirting the loo... Shit... standing here squirting my bloody shoe".
  • Screamin' Jay Hawkins and his Constipation Blues.
  • The first album from Brutal Death Metal band Skinless did this on nearly every track of their debut, Progression Towards Evil. A couple tracks on their follow-up, Foreshadowing Our Demise, continue in this vein, but that album otherwise shifts into the Humans Are Bastards and political/philosophical themes that make up the rest of their discography.
  • Songdrops isn't all toilet humour, but there are quite a bit of toilet-related songs, including "You Turn My Pinkies Blue", "Please Don't Pee in the Pool", "Tinkle Tinkle in a Jar", "If Our Love Was an Outhouse" and "Sometimes My Butt Makes Noises".
  • Spinal Tap likes a bit of the fart humor - their first live album was Silent But Deadly, while their 1992 reunion album was Break Like The Wind. The connotations of certain Tap song titles such as "Nice 'n' Stinky" probably aren't worth considering.
  • Unsorted kids' songs:
  • The Vaughans' "Who Farted?"
  • While Ween's humor is usually either more surreal or satirical in nature, they delve into this occasionally, such as "Poop Ship Destroyer."
  • "Weird Al" Yankovic has been known to include burping and farting sounds into his music, especially clearly in "My Bologna" (originally recorded in a college restroom) and "Smells Like Nirvana". He seems to be toning this down lately, though.
  • An improbably highbrow example can be found in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's vocal canon "Leck Mich im Arsch" ("lick me in the arse", or figuratively "kiss my arse").
  • Near the end of the second movement of Haydn's 93rd Symphony in D major there is a part where the music gradually becomes slower and softer - and is then suddenly interrupted by a loud "fart" from the bassoons.
  • Yoko Ono's album Fly had the track "Toilet Piece," consisting entirely of the sound of a toilet flushing.
  • Willy Bum Bum! Willy Willy Bum Bum!
  • Eminem:
    • Em went heavily into this style of comedy on his Encore album, which is still controversial.
      • The intro to "Yellow Brick Road" involves a belch.
      • "Puke" opens with some cinematically realistic sounds of Eminem vomiting into a toilet.
      • "My 1st Single" has burps, fart sounds, and a hook in which Eminem (in an English accent for some reason) sings "poo-poo, ca-ca".
      • The "Em Calls Paul" skit involves him burping through an electrolarynx and pooping. According to Eminem, he actually did stick a microphone in the toilet and recorded the sound of his "perfectly formed turds" splashing into the bowl, for realism. He has also stated that he considers this to be the single funniest thing he ever did on a record.
      • "Just Lose It" has Eminem assure the listener that nobody will care if they fart, but the CD skips at the exact time they do, so everyone hears it.
    • "We Made You" on Relapse has a fart sound inserted after the middle 8.
    • Surprisingly large amounts of "Not Afraid" on Recovery, despite being a big radio-friendly inspirational song, are based on this - "feed [the world] beans, it's gassed up", "no ifs, ands or but(t)s", "he's still shittin'... until he bows out or he shits his bowels out of him"... "quit playin' with the scissors and shit, and cut the crap".
  • Mudhoney's Piece Of Cake has an untitled interlude that consists of a guitar riff punctuated by whoopee cushion sounds. The album cover includes a Visual Pun on "urinal cake", as in an actual slice of cake in a urinal.
  • Kevin Bloody Wilson has Mick the Master Farter and Festival of Farts.
