Funny Songs About Dicks: The Comedy Canon
Comedy writers have always known the organ is funny, and the best of them keep a completely straight face. Eric Idle sings a list of synonyms in a dinner jacket, Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake deliver a gift-wrapping tutorial as a slow jam, and Jack Black treats a Polish "sausage" with the gravity of a power ballad. The joke is the seriousness. The list runs from George Formby's ukulele, banned by the BBC in 1937, to Lil Dicky's Ex-Boyfriend, which passed a million views in its first day.
