This fun video via Everlasting Blort captivated me. It started out normally enough, in a hillbilly kind of way, and then melted into unexpected weirdness with the clucking, trilling and odd voices.
The DeZurik Sisters - Hillbilly Bill
That marvelous combination of beauty, singing talent and silliness, had to see more, so I collected some here. Outright comedy acts, silly songs, unintentionally funny, slightly skewed raunchiness and sometimes it's the other people in the video that add the silly factor, or that the singer looks like they're on drugs of some kind. A couple of silly dance numbers thrown in.
If you have any ideas for silly female songs you like, please drop a comment and I'll add them.
