- â Mr. Lunt, The Ultimate Silly Song Countdown
The Astonishing Contraption of Silliness is a contraption that only appeared in The Ultimate Silly Song Countdown. Its purpose is to tally all the votes on the Silly Songs, and count down the songs from the least to best votes. However, it's not always in perfect working condition, and can sometimes malfunction, such as saying the title of a made-up song (which is really the titles of some actual Silly Songs mashed together i.g. The Dance of the Yodeling CebĂș Lips and The Song of the Water Buffalo Who Don't Love CebĂș with Yodeling Lips) and often breaks down. Pa Grape sometimes has to fix it, usually using a wooden mallet to whack it.
Despite being sentient, it does have feelings and forgave Pa Grape on rigging the votes, and told him not to do it again.
It's unknown who exactly built it, but according to a pamphlet on the Silly Songs with Larry album, Larry bought it from the Lorax off of eBay.[1]
