#TomFoolery6Music - what should make our alternative silly season playlist?

With this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival kicking off and raft of daft stories creating a buzz online this week, this Sunday's themed playlist (3 August, 6-8pm) has its tongue firmly in its cheek.

As the comedy world began descending on the Scottish capital for the annual giggle-fest, Twitter was already amusing itself with news of 6 Music's very own Jarvis Cocker hosting a Pulp covers karaoke competition in The States and of ‘Weird’ Al Yankovic topping the US charts with his own daft covers album, Mandatory Fun. Even Spotify was having a giggle to itself by announcing the UK’s most streamed ‘guilty pleasures’ tracks.

So with the annual summer silly season well and truly here, we want you to help us to compile a playlist celebrating this playful spirit in music.

And, with Tom Robinson as Now Playing’s presenter, of course the hashtag has to be #TomFoolery6Music.

So what should we play? Being the dedicated alternative music lovers that you are, we don't just want you to give us novelty songs (although some Mighty Boosh crimping would be rather marvellous). 

We're thinking:

• Witty or satirical tracks such as Divine Comedy's Something For The Weekend, Electronic's parody of Morrissey’s lyrics in Getting Away With It, LCD Soundsystem's Losing My Edge or even Billy Bragg's Sexuality
• Weird and wonderful indie covers such as William Shatner’s version of Pulp’s Common People.

… Although should someone suggest Monty Python's SpamSong, who are we to disagree?

Send in suggestions via Twitter using #TomFoolery6Music, post below or on our Now Playing and 6 Music facebok pages, drag tracks onto the collaborative Spotify and Rdio playlists, email nowplaying@bbc.co.uk or text 64046 during the live show.
