"Funny, Funny" is a song by British band the Sweet released in January 1971. It was the first single from their debut album Funny How Sweet Co-Co Can Be and became their first chart hit, peaking at number 13 on the UK Singles Chart.[1]

Robin Carmody of Freaky Trigger described the "particularly fine" song as the strongest example of the Sweet's early bubblegum sound, before the group's music became heavier.[2]
