That set list would set musical expression back a hundred years or more.:oyea:

I don't own any of the songs listed, don't think I ever will either.

I've never been a huge novelty song fan, and when it came to "comedic" albums Bill Cosby was about the only one I liked.

Big Laurel & Hardy fan though, out of all the legendary performers from their era I liked them head and shoulders above all the others including Charlie Chaplin.

I have The Pipkins song on a compilation with early Sweet songs and a Benny Hill CD and a L & H CD, there are too many bad ones IMO.
