Humor is an integral component of human expression, permeating all forms of art. It has always played a significant role in popular music, with its humorous and comedic elements cherished by audiences across generations. For the first time, The Routledge Companion to Popular Music and Humor brings together a comprehensive collection of scholarship that delves into the intricate interplay between humor and the artistic and social dimensions of the musical experience. Spanning various eras, from Tin Pan Alley to the present, this volume explores the diverse roles of humor in different musical genres, examines the contributions of artists, and explores the impact of humor on various media forms.
While scholars have traditionally focused on more literate forms of humor in popular music, the contributors to this collection aim to broaden the scope by examining a wide range of humor, critical theories, and popular musical styles. The book is organized into eight parts, each addressing diverse topics such as parody and satire, humor in rock and global music, gender, sexuality, and politics, the music mockumentary, novelty songs, and the enduring presence of humor in popular music across various mediums, including stage, performance, recording, and film.
As the most comprehensive treatment of the topic to date, The Routledge Companion to Popular Music and Humor offers a rich and insightful exploration of the multifaceted relationship between humor and popular music. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars, researchers, and enthusiasts alike, providing a comprehensive framework for understanding the comedic and humorous aspects of music and their profound impact on cultural expression.
