I miss the days when you could count on at least one really good novelty song per year 
What are some of your favourite novelty songs
My favourites would be
And you?
“Existential Blues” by Tom “T-Bone” Stankus.
“Crabs walk sideways” - the Smothers Brothers
Pretty much all of Weird Al’s stuff.
Flying Purple Eater was one of my favorites as a youth.
Witch Doctor is fun. This vid is bizarre too. I’d like to see the women without their makeup - they have rockin’ bods!
Yup … gotta love a good novelty song.
A lot of the stuff Dr. Demento played was great, but they were rarely what you’d call hits (They’re Coming to Take Me Away, Fish Heads, etc.). Also a lot of Weird Al is parody, so I’m not sure you could say they’re true novelty songs.
The Streak - Ray Stevens
Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weenie Yellow Polka-Dot Bikini – ??
Valley Girl - The Zappas
King Tut - Steve Martin
My Girl Bill - Jim Stafford (had a huge crush on him as a wee girl)
Telephone Man – ?? (was considered the height of naughtiness when I was in high school)
You took mine, so I’ll just say “My Ding-a-Ling” by Chuck Berry.
“My Ding-a-Ling”–Chuck Berry
“A Boy Named Sue”–Johnny Cash, written by Shel Silverstein
“The No No Song”–Ringo Starr
Talking Seattle Grunge Rock Blues by Todd Snider.
“Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye” by Steam (even though it’s an anthem of the crappy White Sox)
“They’re Coming to Take Me Away” by Napoleon XVI
“I Love You Period” - Dan Baird
Yellow Submarine. Because it’s, you know, the Beatles…
Since my first pick is off the board with the second post, I’ll go with “On the Shoulders of Freaks” by Hennry Phillips. Followed up by Eric Idle’s “The Galaxy Song”, and then maybe something by MC Hawking.
Convoy
**Bananaphone **by Raffi (or others). Incredibly silly, but it makes a great ringtone for your cell. If you can find it.
I like that one too!
Also:
Little Arrows by Leapy Lee (caution: you’ll be singing this song the rest of the day 
)
That’s a great song. Now that’s alternative to alternative…
I love Richard Cheese’s work. Does that count? 
Dueling Tubas by Martin Mull. The only novelty song I have on my mp3.
