Voulez-vous Hoppsasachen?—Emmerich Kálmán, Julius Brammer, Alfred Grünwald

The late Jodi Laski-Mihova and I were the first people to perform this song (almost 70 years late) in New York.

Leader of the laundromat—The Detergents
My name is John Wellington Wells—Gilbert and Sullivan

  1. Allan Sherman (love the pun in the second verse) - The Ballad of Harry Lewis - YouTube

  2. Flanders and Swann - The Gnu song - YouTube

  3. Flanders and Swann - Ill Wind The Only Flanders & Swann Video - YouTube

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
Alice’s Restaurant —Arlo Guthrie
Bra Size 45
“Transfusion” - Nervous Norvus

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

I Lost on Jeopardy- “Weird Al” Yankovic

The Elements - Tom Lehrer

Hostiles on the Hill - Bad Lip Reading

I’'ll go with “Do the Nothing”

How about Doin That Scrapyard Thing…

The Apple Streudel Man
(Love the accordion player! Really upbeat! Love her!) :slightly_smiling_face:

Then you might like this song by Jon Lajoie, which has sort of an opposite theme.

That’s not even the only song on my playlist that mentions dead puppies…

Three few novelty songs by famous bands:

Pink Floyd - Bike

AC/DC - Big Balls

Aerosmith - Big Ten Inch Record

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.

Gee I’m glad I worried about that by Michael Johnson

Settle For Me Santino Fontana

Fuck Me, Ray Bradbury Rachel Bloom

Love it Down Your Throat by Dyver Down (Dee Snider)

Hell Hole by Spinal Tap

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

She Left Me for Jesus. Hayes Carll

Let’s Talk Dirty in Hawaiian. John Prine

:+1: :+1: :+1:

He’s free as the breeze
And he swings thru the trees
In his Bee Vee Dees
