Backstory:
In a small town in Michigan, three high school friends discovered their shared passion for music, humor and a shared belief in the power of laughter. Josh, the lead singer, Alex, the drummer, and Jake, the bass guitarist, formed ‘Mediocre Joke’ in the summer of 2005. Known for their lighthearted take on life, the band initially started as a fun project, playing at local clubs and high school events. However, their unique blend of music and humor soon caught the attention of a larger audience, and before they knew it, Mediocre Joke was touring across the nation, bringing smiles and music to their fans.
The band’s name, Mediocre Joke, is a reflection of their motto: life doesn’t always have to be serious, and it’s okay to be just ‘okay’ sometimes. Their mission is to remind their listeners that it’s okay not to be perfect, it’s okay to laugh at your own mistakes and that life should be taken with a grain of salt and a pinch of humor.

Title:
“Laugh It Off”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Em C
I tripped on my shoelace,
G D
Face on the pavement,
Em C
I could let it ruin my day,
G D
Or just laugh it away.
(Chorus)
Am C
So I’ll just laugh it off, laugh it off,
G D
Turn my stumble into a dance,
Am C
‘Cause life’s a mediocre joke,
G D
And I got the punchline in advance.
(Verse 2)
Em C
I messed up my lines,
G D
On our first date,
Em C
I could let it sting,
G D
Or just join in the laughing.
(Chorus)
Am C
So I’ll just laugh it off, laugh it off,
G D
Turn my blunder into a chance,
Am C
‘Cause life’s a mediocre joke,
G D
And I’m still here, in the dance.

They remind me that it’s okay to be human, to make mistakes, and to laugh at myself. Whenever I’m having a rough day, I play ‘Laugh It Off’ and it instantly makes me feel better.

Mediocre Joke isn’t just a band for me, they’re a beacon of positivity and a reminder to not take life too seriously.”
