Novelty songs
« on: June 30, 2008, 05:31:34 AM »
whether it's downright cheesy, rude or hilariously funny, what's your favourite 'novelty' song?

I think this one is probably mine.. I love the lyrics (it's even my ringtone :D)




so post up peeps!



I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances ~  Martha Washington

 :*)) as soon as I opened this thread there was a commercial on TV, and there it was, my absolute favorite...
I get a shiver run up my spine and my head perks RIGHT up the instant I hear it.  O0

not sure ac/dc meant this song to be a novelty song or not, but it comes off very tongue in cheek or cheeky

I know some people consider rap to be music, but I'm not one of them. To me, it's total garbage. That being said, I'd consider some of the funniest "songs" to be rap. My favorites:

Baby Got Back - Sir Mix A Lot ("LA Face with an Oakland Booty"...classic line)
Girls Ain't Nothing But Trouble - DJ Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince
Humpty Dance - Digital Underground

For some reason I read the title of this thread as Novelty Thongs.

Now I've got a picture in my mind that I just can't shift!!
