Is this not a Funny Joke?

A couple of months ago I made a joke on twitter about how one of my favorite songs is "Our House" but I could never remember if it was by Crosby Stills Nash and Young or Crosby et al. I got zero reaction from the people of the internet, so I tried to make that same joke in real life. It did not go over well. Is this not a funny joke? I think it's a funny joke.

Also, it's not the song by Madness that talks about their house in the middle of the street which is what my friends always sing whenever I tell them how much I enjoy the song "Our House."

The opening line "I'll light the fire," makes me smile and I feel very comfortable and hopeful whenever I hear it. If you watch the YouTube video of the song there's an applause after this line and I feel like this 1970's audience feels the similar. I also like how the piano sounds at the beginning of the second verse.



There's also a nice version by Maroon 5. Maroon 5 is an especially sexual band and even though they sometimes sing about love, I find it funny they cover a song that is the epitome of building a life with the one person you want to share it with the most.
