Like most Jewish kids I knew of, I grew ip listening to Mel Brooks, Allan Sherman, etc. It was always a dream in the back of my ind that one day I could do comedy.....my favorite being novelty music.
As I grew I started to listen to the Dr Demento show, and explored other novelty comedy performers that I found. I started my own collection of novelty 45's which moved to novelty tape cassettes as I got older (45? What the heck is a 45 anymore? :)
Anyway, I thought I'd try the impossible and put a list down of ten of my all-time favorite novelty songs. My list could change from day to day and I am sure your favorites are not on the list.... and you're amazed I "FORGOT" z.... :)
Needless to say in trying to take such a great art form and narrow it down to the top 10 some songs could not make my own top 10.... so please make up your own list, or just post your favorite songs.
It is alway great listening to old, and sometimes new, novelty songs.
So I present to you my favorites.....
