Heard him back in 2007 on James Whale's show. Utter class; I think I might have the podcast of that still, tucked away in the chasms of virtual memory. People actually rang up the show not realising that he was an act, haha!
Bo Burnham has not been mentioned!

I think thee protest too much! There's a song dedicated to Fernando Torres in Treason and Newsrevue at the mo which is bang on! Strangely to the tune of 'Fernando' by those little known ABBA boys.

I am surprised no one mentioned Tom Wilson - http://www.comedy-songs.com/artist.php?ID=65 - better known as Biff from Back To The Future.
Another one to check out is Dan and Dan - http://www.comedy-songs.com/artist.php?ID=4.
And sorry - but Tim Minchin is the king of comedy songs - http://www.comedy-songs.com/artist.php?ID=2 - especially Storm: http://www.comedy-songs.com/video.php?ID=2970
And there is always a place in my heart for Hugh Laurie: http://www.comedy-songs.com/artist.php?ID=25

What a great website you have. I have just launched one myself (with a friend) www.ithinkivegotit.com - do you have any ideas about how we might go about publicising it? We have only been live for a week and there are some glitches we need to iron out but we're getting there!

Fear of a Black Hat [Niggaz With Hats] was a 90's spoof of the hip hop scene of the time.
You can watch the film on loveFilm although YouTube seems to have a lot of music clips;

Gaaaah! You beat me to it! 
Great song though, always good to prance around the room to.

Benny Hill does Ernie, Benny was a seriousy underrated (imho) comedian that allegedly inspired goggle-eyed outrage amongst feminists ..
All really funny after a hard days night, very refreshing.
I believe that 'Ernie' song was one of David Cameron's choices on 'Desert Island Discs'.
Bennie Hill wrote loads of good songs
I like the one about the garden of love
