It’s been a long long time since I’ve heard it.
Every Sunday night we’d all get together at my friends house, order a pizza and listen to Dr. Demento.
I pissed off the pizza place though, they would cut the pizza into 6 slices, there were four of us so we wanted 8 slices. They told us it cost more because 8 slices were more than 6, so I said then cut it into 4 and charge us less.
So for the hijack but it just brought back some memories.
I rather miss hearing Silly Love Songs now and then…
By the way, tomorrow is the 37th anniversary of the Edmund Fitgerald’s sinking. Raise a glass at 7:10 PM to the 29 who perished.
Of course if you want to go more recent

Does Your Chewing Gum Lose It’s Flavor on gthe Bedpost over Night
This was played live on our Top of the Pops and hasn’t been played anywhere on the BBC since, I can’t think why not
This is one of the funniest songs of all time, its a shame you don’t get comedy songs around any more, you just never hear it on the radio
There is a lot of fun to be had with suicidal parents, good old Tommy Cooper
This was one of my faves as a kid - Mr Murray - Down Came the rain
This got played on kids selection time on Saturday mornings, but its very much older than me,
Hello this is Jonie(the tlephone answering machine song)
Car 67, this was quite a sizeable hit, a real novelty song
Streetband - Toast, and yes that is Paul Young
The Pushbike song - The Mixtures - I think you’d soon have fewer band members if you tried making that video on a 3 lane highway these days
The Asshole song - Jimmy Buffet - good song to sing with a few beers inside you
Yellow Magic Orchestra - Computer Games song - takes a while to get going, quite an advanced video for its day
This was intended to be a piss take of the Santana style of music, but they do it dead straight so its not easy to see this as a parody - not until you hear their more usual output - Those crazy Norwegians
I remember Singin’ in the Kitchen by Bobby Bare being played on the radio all the time when it came out.
Here is a potential future candidate - too recent for this thread but I’m sure it’ll qualify in due course
Toby Keith- Red Solo Cup
Much of which was stolen from Brother Dave Gardner as was a lot of his humor.
I’m late to this party, but, oh! By jingo, I don’t think they have played this on the radio for a lo-o-o-ng time :D.
For anyone not getting to the video from the link in the last post, it’s missing a colon after the http.
For some bizarre reason, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins’ “Feast Of The Mau Mau” hardly ever gets airplay anymore.
Holy cow – I haven’t heard the Convention ‘72 record in 40 years until I read your post just now and checked it on youtube, thinking, ‘Could it be my mystery record?’; it came out when I was 6, and every Saturday, I’d go to a little friend’s house to play. Her brother had this record, and we’d play it constantly, laughing ourselves sick* (we didn’t understand it at all, but found all the song snippets really funny.) All I could remember from the song was the ‘Gotta find a woman’ and ‘I’m the Happiest Girl in the Whole USA’ snippets, and I have literally spend four decades trying to describe this record to people to find out if it were real or just the figment of two silly first-graders’ imaginations.
*I think her brother regretted ever buying the record, and we were banished to the basement rec room to listen to it because we played it non-bloody-stop for weeks.
