I love the song too. I wouldn't say I find it "funny" though. Like I never really find myself laughing when I listen to it or anything. I guess the funniest thing with the song is when adults listen to it and they think she's going to swear. And you see them about to get angry, but then she doesn't swear, and they're like "Oh...".

Some songs do make me laugh though. Like What's My Name? by Rihanna, I find quite funny because the song is basically a 4-mintue long innuendo. And S&M makes me laugh aswell when I hear it, because all I can picture when it plays is Rihanna deep-throating a banana from the music video.

Other songs I find funny are those where the singers scream, and it's really over the top and cheesy, and it sometimes makes your headphones go funny. Like No Air by Jordin Sparks/Chris Brown, or Like a Prayer by Glee Cast.

I used to find the start of Irreplaceable funny, where Beyonce sings "To the left, to the left". Without the context of the first verse where it's sung again, it just sounds random!

The "some of them they think they freak this like we do but no they don't" bit is amazing because of its bizarre, simpleton child-like conclusion. And the beat, obviously.

I agree with the "whats my name" - the part "oh na na whats my name..." - its more annoying if someone sings on public transport and then YOU sing afterwards even if you do not have the song downloaded!

Yeah, I hear a lot of What's My Name? on public transport. It's a great song though.

Me too. I don't think some rappers are given enough credit tbh. A lot of them have a great sense of humour, and a lot of their raps are quite intelligent.

It find it hilarious how it transitions from the awful, shrieky "Who run the world?" To the monotone and gruff "Girls."

Funny? No, a dreadful racket? Most certainly. My daughter plays it a lot and it's probably the worst track I've heard from her.

I just find it funny that some 'girls' may find a song where women are being referred to as girls, and where most of the women appear to be dressed like strippers about to go on stage, empowering. If you just accept it as a superficial fluff pop song then it's OK, but it really is quite worrying if you think about what impression it might have on young teens.

Plus that shoulder dancing stuff that Beyonce does looks like a recipe for arthritis.

i've got such a weird sense of humour.. when I listen to this song in public I look at someone nearby and imagine them doing the dance that Beyonce does in the video... THEN I find it funny.
