Jonathan Richman is really funny, and you certainly lose all aggressivity when listening to him.
I saw him on tour once, and he is a treat. He sometimes got rid of the guitar to just dance (it ain't Beyoncé dancing, it's just somebody who could be you). He also interpreted a little scene in English, French & Italian.
I Was Dancing in the Lesbian Bar is my favorite JR song; nice lyrics - his lyrics really are something.
Monologue About Bermuda displays his sense of humour, freely making fun of himself.
A few song titles from Rock'n'Roll with the Modern Lovers (what a cover !) :
Ice Cream Man
The Wheels on the Bus
Coomyah
Rockin' Rockin' Leprechauns
Egyptian Reggae
