There's a marvelous mundane song by Groucho Marx about a monkey who is
trying find the funniest song in all the world.  He makes fun of one sort
of animal, then is rebuffed by that animal.  He makes his way around the
kingdom until he finally writes something insulting about monkeys.  At
this point, the wise old monkey reminds him that it isn't funny if it
hurts someone.  When he can write a funny song that doesn't make funof
someone, then he will have the funniest song in the world.  Following this
advice, the monkey wrote a very silly song that didn't hurt anyone and was
one of the funniest songs in the world.
