What's the criteria? Do joke/novelty songs count (Weird Al, or Father Brian's "Who's In The House", for example)?
I nominate the following "real" songs.
The Barenaked Ladies - Be My Yoko On and If I Had A Million Dollars
Oasis - She's Electric
They Might Be Giants - Birdhouse In Your Soul
Todd Snider - Talkin' Seattle Grunge Rock Blues
Christy Moore - Joxer Goes To Stuttgart
Primus - Wynnona's Big Brown Beaver

Le Tigre - Don't Drink Poison, Nanny Nanny Boo Boo

ooh, forgot about TMBG--love triangle man (or particle man, whatever its called) and istanbul not constantinople. i have a ton of primus. may go for a less well known one (think its called nature boy?).
yeah, i forgot to mention that they should be as close to real songs as possible rather than spoofs. prefer to like them as songs but have the fun lyrics as an added bonus. keep the suggestions coming!

Kip Addotta's "Wet Dream"
i must warn you though, it's filled with tremendously atrocious puns using fish names. it's basically a story of a guy trying to pick up girls in bars, but uses the names of various fish instead of words. for example, "She said, 'Not tonight, I have a haddock.'" so, if that isn't your sense of humor (see 'lame puns that are so bad you have to laugh') then avoid it like the plague.

Robyn Hitchcock & the Egyptians - "Balloon Man"

If you want music a wry sense of humor and outstanding hooks try Nick Lowe's Jesus of Cool or as it was called in America, Pure Pop for Now People. My favorites on that album are Nutted by Reality, Little Hitler, Marie Provost and So it Goes.
Also in that vein, Frank Zappa's Apostrophe. The entire first side should fit your bill capped off with Cosmik Debris. "Is that a real poncho or a Sears poncho?"
The Offspring are wry as well: Pretty Fly and Self Esteem.
Ian Drury's "Wake Up and Make Love to Me" and Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll
If it's parody you're after then Weird Al is you man. My favorites are Another One Rides the Bus, Ricky, Pretty Fly for Rabbi and the Saga Begins.
More parodies:
Psycho Chicken - the Fools
She's got Colonel Sanders Thighs
She's Got Marty Feldman Eyes - Bruce Babyman Baum

So many songs by Ween, King Missle, Dead Milkmen, Primus and Bloodhound Gang. And depending on your SOH try some of Albini's stuff from Big Black or Rapeman.

For the uninitiated in the world of New Wave it goes:
She was a winner
That became a doggy's dinner.
She never meant that much to me
Whoa oh oh poor Marie.
And for bizarre wit there is also DEVO
Q:Are we not men? A: We are DEVO.

"Pretty When I'm Drunk" and "She Ain't Got No Legs" by Bloodhound Gang are great songs.
"Steve Polychronopolous" "Lonesome Kicker" "At a Medium Pace" "Bad Boyfriend" and "Four Years Old" by Adam Sandler are good choices too.
Offspring and Blink 182 (fuck a dog) have lots of great humor as well.
