* Gus Backus once sang "Bohnen in den Ohr'n" [[note]] a cover version of "Beans in my ears", actually the German version is more humorous! [[/note]] about the advantages/disadvantages of having beans in ones ears. It ends with the advice that if this song [[OverlyLongGag slowly begins to annoy]], one should put beans in ones ears.

* Music/{{Korn}}'s "Y'All Want A Single" is a TakeThat against the music industry. The music video is filled with protesting captions ("One Corporation Owns The 5 Major Video Channels In The U.S./ Is That OK?"; "Hit Songs On TOP 40 Are Often REPEATED Over 100 Times A Week", )... two of which resemble the song itself("90% Of All Songs Get To "The Hook" Within 20 Seconds./ 98% Of All # 1 Singles Are Less Than 3 Minutes and 30 Seconds Long."- the song is 3:17, and hits the hook at 0:17...), and the following one makes an... appropriate comment ("Does This Seem Like A Formula To You?"). Whether it's serious or humorous, it's up to you.

*** Similarly, the narrator of "Jerry Springer" sings about how weird, tacky, and tastelessly exploitative ''Series/TheJerrySpringerShow'' is, while also admitting he constantly watches it and even tapes it religiously [[BileFascination because he just can't look away]]. Near the end, he also claims he has "too much class" for the show - then immediately [[{{Gasshole}} asks the listener to pull his finger...]]
