Man, that’s just wacky to see those bands in one sentence in reference to rocking and being silly. You’re not wrong.
One of my favorites - Frank Zappa’s Apostrophe / Overnight Sensation.
Bloodhound Gang, Blink 182, Sum 41, Sublime, Men Without Hats, They Might Be Giants, Tenacious D, Ugly Kid Joe, Green Jelly / Jello, The Dead Milkmen, Dee Lite, Squeeze.

If you’re going to mention Frank Zappa you also have to mention “Sheik Yerbouti” and “Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch” by him.

Don’t forget “Muffin Man”

Queen. They’re essentially the Monty Python Team of hard rock.
The Bicycle Song

One Vision is a hilarious song. It’s a whole ass song about what brings the world together, and they tell us: fried chicken.

System of a Down is an equal mix of the most serious and fun songs that I’ve ever seen.

Just rock or is metal allowed? Cus if so:
-
Ghost (Ghost B.C. in the UK) is very silly. Guys dressed in corpsepaint clergy, sounding like a hodgepodge of 70’s/80’s hits you missed. They got lore too, which is appropriately silly.
-
Electric Callboy is silly. They are… Like, deathcore mixed with whatever they feel like for that song. We Got the Moves is deathcore with a bit of hard bass, for example. And it’s a song about partying. Pump It is about going to the gym. Spaceman is about a guy going to space and rapping in german. Honestly one of my favourite bands.
-
Wind Rose is silly as hell. Bearded guys, singing about dwarf stuff. They covered Diggy Diggy Hole and blew up, and props to them because their version is a banger, but they got good original stuff too which is sadly overlooked because Diggy Diggy Hole was just that good.
-
Powerwolf is another one, similar to Ghost. They’re vampiric werewolves? And their songs are all in-keeping with that theme. Power metal though, unlike Ghost.
-
Austrian Death Machine is also silly. Voice actors emulating Arnold while the vocalist growls about lifting weights, the cookie monster, jingle bells, getting to the choppah, etc. The vocalist’s history has kind of soured the band for me though.
-
Gnome is underrated. Their songs are simplistic as hell, and none of them are virtuosos. But their songs go hard. Wenceslas is great, Ambrosius as well. Edit: writing this gave me an earworm and went down Gnome’s songs. Their bassist is a goddamn genius. Simple licks that sound great, and they got weird time sig changes here and there that tickle my brain in the best ways. I can’t figure out if they are actual time sig changes or just weird changes, and I love that.

Nanowar of Steel is great too. Who else would make a Rhapsody of Fire tribute/parody, make it about Barbie, and then get the original Rhapsody singer to do lead vocals.

Electric Six
I think I saw someone mention them, but I can’t find them now. They’re pretty silly, but also their songs are unironically fun to listen to as well.

fine young cannibals, wall of voodoo/stan ridgeway.
- 1hitsong ( @1hitsong@lemmy.ml ) English2•2 months ago
Wall of Voodoo is such a great band! After Stan left, they still put out 2 studio albums that are so distinctly them, but also unique from their previous releases.
- HubertManne ( @HubertManne@kbin.social ) 1•1 month ago
Im more a stan ridgeway fan than wall of voodoo. I remember picking up a cassette way back and was very disapointed and did not understand what happened. Its only decades later that I found out. Its like tull and ian anderson for me even though the band has never not had him hes pretty much the influence I like. ironically im not wild about his solo stuff. I find he really needs some good artists to keep him grounded. Stan on the other hand, I like his solo stuff.
