The first is an excellent choice.
I do not like the ending of the 2nd.
The third is not Als best, but a decent choice.
That was a real hit.
Damn I hate that song, along with Fish Heads.
A real hit.
My three

All 3 of those remain dance-floor fillers at local Goth/punk clubs.

Three few novelty songs by famous bands:
Big Ten Inch Record was originally recorded in 1952.
Wow, didn’t know that!
I also just learned that Twisted by Joni Mitchell is not an original. It was written by Annie Ross and (coincidently) also released in 1952.
The liner notes for Aerosmith’s Toys in the Attic include a thank you to Dr. Demento for bringing the song to their attention
Guitarzan. Ray Stevens
He’s free as the breeze
And he swings thru the trees
In his Bee Vee Dees
