Wesley Willis' stuff can really put a smile on my face, too. But just to be sure, I must stress that I do not consider his stuff a light joke. The lyrics themselves are excellent. They have a clear structure, and Willis' use of such literary device like non sequitur is quite impressive, even if it was spontaneous. But most impressive of all is the honesty with which he observes himself and his surroundings. And he expresses such deep emotions few of us can experience without becoming traumatized. Yet he does it like a surgeon - completely without wanton sentimentality, but with impressive, even healing warmth. I'd say "My Keyboard Got Damaged" is one of my favourites by Wesley Willis.
