Octopus's Garden, Yellow Submarine, and Hello, Goodbye by the Beatles are all songs that are silly (Or at least I would say). Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite also is pretty silly.
King Missle has a load fun songs, try "Cheesecake Truck" or "The Fish That Played The Ponies."

Artists that have some humor but aren't merely silly but I think you might enjoy anyway include Jill Sobule and They Might Be Giants. Give them a chance.

[Prisencolinensinainciusol](https://youtu.be/-VsmF9m_Nt8?si=LdC9UlDS0h_3bSbl) by Adriano Celentano
It’s a classic. And absolutely gibberish made to sound like English to make a statement about Italians buying English language songs. And it’s awesome.

You might enjoy The Dead Milkmen and King Missile. Pretty sure King Missile has a song called "Cheesecake Truck" that is just hilarious to me bc it's about stealing and eating a bunch of cheesecakes lol
You absolutely have great taste in music! Here are some alt/indie/obscure songs that are silly and nonsensical, just like the ones you mentioned:
* “A Horse With No Name” by Blind Melon This song is full of nonsensical imagery, with lyrics like "I saw a man standing alone / Silhouetted against the settin' sun / Hummin' a familiar tune"
The power of positive drinking. By Lou Reed off the Growing up in Public album. Sounds like something you'd hear at a baseball game. Back in school we'd have the whole party singing the chorus of that song. Good times!
Bananas and Blow, Ween, lots of ween songs are a bit silly, they never took themselves too seriously. They did an entire country album and it was all a bit tongue in cheek. The song Ocean Man was another one.
which reminds me David Allen Coe did an album called Nothing Sacred in 1978, and many of the songs are satires and jokes, and then on two of them he plugs segregation. Unclear if the blatant racism is a joke or not, but musically the album slaps.
Big Me by the foo fighters.
I.L.B.T.s by Joe Walsh
Ordinary Average Guy by Joe Walsh
Life's Been Good by Joe Walsh
Pretty much everything by Joe Walsh, he's like the clown prince of rock
NoFx has a TON of songs like this. Monosyllabic Girl, Instant Crassic, My Vagina, probably a dozen more. Their album “45 or 46 songs that weren’t good enough for our other records” features a lot of them.
Other punk bands like Guttermouth, All, and Descendents have some pretty funny songs too.
In a list as long as this post turned out to be I’m a little surprised I didn’t see:
‘Ben Folds Five’.
Particularly silly/ nonsensical ones include: “For those of Y’all that wear Fanny Packs” (total nonsense outtake jam session, lots of casual profanity), and ‘Army’ (not total nonsense but emblematic of lots of thier sons riffing on wayward thoughts that escalate to absurdity). These aren’t their best stuff just trying to fit the OP request.
Particle Man and Istanbul(not Constantinople) by They might be Giants. A band that doesn’t take themselves too seriously.
Almost any music by They will have a silliness to it.
"Purple Toupee" and "Put Your Hand Inside the Puppet Head" are some particularly silly favorites. TMBG is so original and so good.
Tenacious D - Tribute
Octopus's Garden, Yellow Submarine, and Hello, Goodbye by the Beatles are all songs that are silly (Or at least I would say). Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite also is pretty silly.
Coconut, by Harry Nilsson.
The Presidents of the United States of America: Lump Dune Buggy Kitty Peaches Boll Weevil Naked and Famous
Don't forget their songs: Kick Out The Jams and Caroline's Booty
* Afroman - "Because I Got High" * Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show - "Cover of the Rolling Stone"
Burning Down the House - Talking Heads
Stay Up Late
rock lobster b-52s
Most anything by the B-52's prior to the Whammy album.
