name songs which are funny which AREN'T comedy songs

.... responding to the lex on FT, who sez ALL comedy songs make him scowl (a not-unusual response to enforced jollity)

(and i guess i'm talking "laugh-with" funny rather than "laugh-at" funny)

Laughter has been an important idea in much classical music, although its v self-consciously done -- you're never laughing but you're meant to twig that this section of a piece is meant to be funny.

Not explaining too well: its a particular idea of humour.
