Novelty Songs Appreciation Thread

[lady_barrett2112]

So I remember listening to a collection of songs from the Dr. Demento show and it got me thinking. What are the sweet and or catchy songs that have made you chuckle or at least put a smile on your face?

Here are a few that brighten my day...










Sketches and NSFW novelty songs are accepted here as well. Post away and have a good laugh.

CLASSIC, from 1958 (originally!)

 

[Mr. Bob Dobolina]

Dr. Demento rules! Thanks for showing the good Dr. some love. Some of my favorites that he introduced me to include:
"The Ballad of Irving" - Frank Gallop
"School Cafeteria" - "Weird Al" Yankovich
"The Smoke Off" - Shel Silverstein
"They're Coming to Take Me Away" - Napolean XIV
"Dead Puppies" - Ogden Edsel
"Shaving Cream" - Benny Bell
"Titties and Beer" - Frank Zappa
"Spam" - Monty Python
"Bounce your Boobies" - Rusty Warren
"Beat the Reaper" - Firesign Theater...and on...and on...

I had a love/hate relationship with this song as a kid. And now that I've just played it, I probably don't need to hear it again for another 40 years.

"All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth," performed by, apparently, a guy named George Rock (and I always thought it was a girl).

Here's some more great novelty classics...

Tom "T-Bone" Stankus - Existential Blues




Cheech and Chong - Basketball Jones

This was pretty funny: "Take Off (To The Great White North)" by Bob & Doug McKenzie, featuring Geddy Lee. "Take off, hosehead!"

So I got in the bedroom, and I got it in the hall, and I got it in the bathroom.......

Meri Wilson - "Telephone Man"

Frank Zappa & Moon Zappa: "Valley Girl"

This song rocks.
