Stupid songs to play at open mic night

Hey y'all, I went to an open mic night at a bar tonight just to check it out before I play next week. From my observations when playing for a drunken crowd it's best to play well known covers and overall fun, high energy songs. So far I think I am going to play teenage mutant ninja turtles, and possibly Superfreak by Rick James (I'm Rick James Bitch! - chepelle). Any other fun suggestions?

You can't go wrong with You Never Even Called Me by My Name by David Allan Coe. Drunk people love that song.

I heard a song once that was called "Wiskey for Breakfest" .. It was kick ass but I dont know who wrote it... the chorus was like ~Lord serve us and protect us, cause we've been drinking wiskey for breakfest~ lol.......... if anybody knows who does this song, please share....

I havent done an open mic night yet, but when I do Im gonna have to throw in something by todd snider; the guys a folksy-type singer whos got some some hilarious stuff:
Plastic Girl -
"Well I knew I had to have her
when I sent off in the mail
when I saw her picture in that magazine...
And when the postman brought her
I thrilled as I blew up
the prettiest plastic girl you had ever seen..."
Sounds corny I know, but honestly its funny as hell...

Illegal Smile (originally John Prine) is always a crowd pleaser, too.

There's a country song by Charlie Robison called, "You're Not the Best." Part of it goes, "Let's twist some lids and hope our kids look more like me than you." It's pretty easy to play and it's funny.

If you want to do some funny songs check out this guy named Steven Lynch. He is a comedian but his thing is doing songs. Funny as hell. "special fred" is a great one and "i wanna fuck your sister". Funny stuff.
