These 2014 Tracks Will Have You Cracking Up All Over Again

Music has a special way of capturing emotions, and sometimes it manages to tickle our funny bones too. The year 2014 brought a collection of songs that, whether intentionally or not, left us grinning, giggling, or even doubled over with laughter. These songs range from clever lyrics to zany music videos, and they still hold a special place in our playlists for a good reason—pure joyfulness. Let’s dive into some of the funniest music from 2014 that encapsulates all that audible humor.

1. “Selfie” by The Chainsmokers

firstly, we cannot talk about funny music from 2014 without mentioning “#SELFIE” by The Chainsmokers. This song pokes fun at modern-day social media culture, particularly the obsession with selfies. The lyrics are narrated in a valley-girl accent and follow a monologue of a stereotypical, Instagram-obsessed girl. Quite frankly, it is unexpectedly funny, especially when you catch yourself relating to some of the absurdities described. As a parody of our vanity-driven society, it stands out as a comedic gem.

2. “Shower” by Becky G

also, “Shower” by Becky G brings an amusing light-heartedness with its catchy tune and bubbly lyrics. The song describes the simple joy of singing in the shower. Becky G’s infectious energy makes you want to grab a shampoo bottle and belt out your heart in the bathroom mirror. While not outright hilarious, the buoyant and carefree nature of the song embodies a fun, whimsical attitude that leaves listeners smiling.

3. “Anaconda” by Nicki Minaj

Similarly, “Anaconda” by Nicki Minaj is another track that made waves in 2014—a lot of laughter followed its release. Known for its bold and eyebrow-raising lyrics, the song also spoofs Sir Mix-a-Lot’s “Baby Got Back.” What makes “Anaconda” particularly funny, besides its outrageousness, is its music video. The over-the-top, exaggerated imagery combined with Nicki’s confident delivery makes this song a hysterical listen.

4. “Fancy” by Iggy Azalea ft. Charli XCX

In contrast, “Fancy” by Iggy Azalea featuring Charli XCX brought humor through its music video, which was a playful homage to the 90s cult classic movie “Clueless.” Iggy’s portrayal of Cher Horowitz, complete with iconic outfits and over-the-top high school drama, captivated viewers with a strong sense of nostalgia wrapped in comedy. The vivacious performance by both artists makes it a memorable and entertaining piece from that year.

5. “Foil” by ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic

Finally, no list of the funniest music would be complete without mentioning “Foil” by ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic. Known for his comedic parodies, Yankovic takes on Lorde’s “Royals” with a hilarious twist about aluminum foil. Starting with a seemingly mundane topic about food preservation, the song cleverly veers into conspiracy theories and absurd cautionary tales. Yankovic’s humor and attention to detail in both the lyrics and the music video are unparalleled, making this track an epitome of musical comedy.

2014 was definitely a year of varied musical comedy, from satirical critiques of social media to playful homages to beloved movies. These songs remind us that laughter and music are a perfect pair, lifting our spirits and making even the mundane moments of life feel like a joyous celebration.
