There is a lot of hip hop that fits this idea of great music with wacky lyrics.
Megan thee stallion, cardi b, and the like sing some raunchy songs.
Bbno$, yung gravy, lil dicky, flynt flossy and the entire turquoise jeep records collection of artists are humor-forward
Then theres czarface which has made many albums all about comic book characters.
Peter Gabriel era Genesis was pretty goofy, as well as some of his solo stuff.
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is pretty much the goofiest band known to man right now; especially if you listen to their earlier stuff like Cellophane or Vegemite.
Devo
Nerf Herder
No More Kings
Electric Callboy are very silly and produce excellent videos.
JBO, if you understand German.
I don't know if its 'silly' but Health runs a phone number, a discord, and subjects Johnny to a bunch of miserable shit for laughs I guess.
Them being ska punk makes it an easy pick, but Russkaja has great covers and original songs.
Kendall Street Company
Andrew WK
Until you listen harder.
Ween, Dead Milkmen, Gwar, Nomeansno, Hansen Brothers, Pink n Brown, Jesus Lizard, Moistboyz, Stormtroopers of Death.
I hadn't thought about Pink n Brown for years...
Estradasphere and Ween pop to mind
Somebody already recommended Primus so I have to come up with backup. And that is:
Here's one you never heard of - Gung Ho by Shaka Ponk

Macklemore
Devin Townsend
The Aquabats
Spinal tap
Future Idiots.
Patent Pending.
Angus McSix (formerly Angus McFife of Gloryhammer) is a hoot.
Maybe Beck? Queβ Onda Guero always makes me giggle.
And, a bit of a different genre but Father John Mistyβs songs are sarcastic and often nonsensical. They sound all romantic and dreamy but the lyrics donβt always match the vibe.
Beck is a tough one because he does have a lot of goofy songs, but they're mixed in with ones that are strange and surreal but less goofy.
Debra is a great example of a funny Beck song.
Girl I want to get with you / Only you / And your sister / I think her name is Debra
Lady, step inside my Hyundai
Thank You Scientist are seriously talented musicians who make very complex music, but don't take themselves seriously and have fun with their performances.
Freak Kitchen, and their front man, now solo artist, Matthias IA Eklundh.
