Lyrics! by a band called Bad Astronaut, they are total dorks... but its good stuff. Some info I have found on them:

At the vocal helm we have the dashing Joey Cape. Joey has spent time on other vessels: piloting Fat Wreck Chords flagship Lagwagon, and serving as a deck officer with Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. Marko 72 plays the galactic thunderbroom, or as Earthlings know it, the bass. Much like the mercenary smuggler Han Solo, Marko has offered his services to many throughout the indie-rock galaxy, spending time aboard Nerf Herder, Swingin’ Utters, and is currently an interplanetary-renowned rocker in Sugarcult. Derrick Plourde operated the drums for Lagwagon on their first three missions: Duh, Trashed, and Hoss and was also a member of The Ataris. While Angus Cooke is best known for his work as a producer and engineer, running Orange Whip Studios. The backgrounds of the other astronauts, Thom, Jonathan, and Todd, are quite nebulous. Much like the red-shirted crewmembers of the starship Enterprise, these are the guys that do all dirty work behind the scenes. from http://www.honestdons.com/bands/badastronaut/

HAHAHA funny stuff, and while their description may be humorous, their songs aren't parodies or comedy or anything like that, anyway now its time for the lyrics.

Bad Astronaut: Not a Dull Moment

I remember well the smell of tequila
One bed, one bath, two months with Steph
Drinking up the sunrise
didn't sleep til late at night
I had a ten day birthday to Thanksgiving
We burnt the bird and hit the road
It's all blur in stereo
Sonic bookmarks and bad scenes
Not a dull moment
I barely miss living in Los Angeles
Only took a week to start the warfare
Ecentric neighbors on welfare
The turntable's spun to the beat of pounding
On the walls we'd sing
Another drink with Billy Idol
Have sloppy sex on the living room floor
Whirlwind of simple pleasure, principle
Principles are gone
It's not a dull moment
I barely miss living in that selfish bliss with Steph
and I'll always have the past to be warned
and now I always have the last laugh
When I'm bored
I can taste the gold ring tarnishing my mouth
and I need a drink to wash it out
It's not a dull moment
I barely miss living in that state of filth
So I clean the yard
The yard
The yard
Mow the lawn
Scrub the staining rug
So what?
It's safe and sound I have found
