How can a song with "he'd cut your granny's face off given half the chance" NOT be funny?

I used to hate Benny the Bouncer... now I actually think it's funny and I really get into it too.

The point is that there's nothing funny about them. Unfortunately, ELP thought they were funny. As I said above, though, I think Benny the Bouncer is funny, but the others I can do without. Especially Are You Ready Eddy!

None. I always feel that these songs take away from the feel of their albums
and lower the score for me.

This is sort of a best of the worst poll. I think I got them all. I voted for Benny the Bouncer. The music is great and it's actually funny at times.
