Actually, it takes a brilliant mind to think up crazy songs….and then market them to the masses.

I think a lot fall into Novelty records.. Something you don't see nowadays.
Bernard Cribbins- Right Said Fred.
Bernie Bresslaw - Mad Passionate Love.
And then crazy titles... but quite a serious intent.
Hole In My Bucket / Shoe - Harry Belefonte and Traffic.
May The Bird Of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose... I'm A Purple People Eater...
But this tongue twister made it quite big.
The Freshies - I'm Love With The Girl At The Manchester Virgin Megastore Checkout Desk.

Harry Belafonte has a few funny ones like Man Smart Woman Smarter, Mama look a Boo-Boo, I even love his live performance of Old King Cole, a track like that has a recurring theme which is found in The Twelve Days of Christmas, though Pete Seeger uses it to good effect in I Know A Old Lady/Woman Who Swallowed a Fly.

Another Satire track with a dash of darkness to it I'll add here is The Who's Happy Jack


though Substitute could even fall into the odd category


and while I'm thinking of Plastic, here's the Kinks Plastic Man, unsure if it ever charted though
