Ken Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 In Mrs. Beattie's 5th grade class, I thought this was hysterical. She didn't... Shaving Cream Written by Benny Bell I have a sad story to tell you It may hurt your feelings a bit Last night when I walked into my bathroom I stepped in a big pile of Shaving cream, be nice and clean Shave everyday and you`ll always look keen! I think I`ll break off with my girlfriend Her antics are queer, I`ll admit Each time I say, "darling, I love you" She tells me that I`m full of Shaving cream, be nice and clean Shave everyday and you`ll always look keen! Our baby fell out of the window You`d think that her head would be split But good luck was with her that morning She fell in a barrel of Shaving cream, be nice and clean Shave everyday and you`ll always look keen! An old lady died in a bathtub She died from a terrible fit In order to fulfill her wishes She was buried in six feet of Shaving cream, be nice and clean Shave everyday and you`ll always look keen! When I was in France with the army One day I looked into my kit I thought I would find me a sand-wich But the darn thing was loaded with Shaving cream, be nice and clean Shave everyday and you`ll always look keen! And now, folks, my story is ended I think it is time I should quit If any of you feel offended Stick your head in a barrel of Shaving cream, be nice and clean Shave everyday and you`ll always look keen!

Jazzcat Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 My Little Bimbo Down On a Bamboo Isle - Walter Donaldson Let's Misbehave - Cole Porter Huggin' & A-Chalkin - Goell & Hayes Everything Is Peaches Down In Georgia - Ager, Clark, & Meyer Kickin' The Gong Around - Calloway (also fits in drug tunes category) You're Not the Only Oyster In the Stew - Burke & Spins What's the Use of Getting Sober? Meyers At The Devils Ball - Irving Berlin Save the Bones for Henry Jones - Barker At the Codfish Ball - Mitchell & Pollack Egyptian Ella - Unknown That's My Weakness Now - Green & Stept Just a few favorites from my collection of Tin Pan Alley tunes. Most of these are from the 20's and 30's when novelty tunes were a staple of the songwriters arsenal. Look on the back of most any old sheet music and they'll have a few bars of other tunes they're pitching. Almost always find one or two novelty tunes.

SoulGirl Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Who's he? he's this hilarious guy who takes all the most popular songs and parodies them. you can check out his official website here. Kris Novoselic of Nirvana said that the band felt they had "made it" after Yankovic recorded "Smells Like Nirvana" (parodying "Smells Like Teen Spirit"). Kurt Cobain called Yankovic an American pop rock genius in his private journals. (from Wikipedia) perhaps one of his most famous albums is the michael jackson take-off, 'even worse'. my family listened to that cassette on loop in the car when i was small, i still know all the words! Track listing 1. "Fat" ("Bad" by Michael Jackson) 2. "Stuck In A Closet With Vanna White" 3. "(This Song's Just) Six Words Long" ("Got My Mind Set On You" as performed by George Harrison) 4. "You Make Me" (a style parody of Oingo Boingo) 5. "I Think I'm A Clone Now" ("I Think We're Alone Now" as performed by Tiffany) 6. "Lasagna" ("La Bamba" as popularized by Ritchie Valens, though the parody is more likely inspired by Los Lobos' 1987 cover) 7. "Melanie" 8. "Alimony" ("Mony, Mony" as performed by Billy Idol) 9. "Velvet Elvis" (style parody of The Police) 10. "Twister" (The original Twister commercial's words in a style parody of the Beastie Boys.) 11. "Good Old Days" (style parody of James Taylor) Fat by Al Yankovic Lyrics: Your butt is wide, well mine is too Just watch your mouth or I'll sit on you The word is out, better treat me right 'Cause I'm the king of cellulite Ham on, ham on, ham on whole wheat, all right My zippers bust, my buckles break I'm too much man for you to take The pavement cracks when I fall down I've got more chins than Chinatown Well, I've never used a phone booth And I've never seen my toes When I'm goin' to the movies I take up seven rows Because I'm fat, I'm fat, come on (Fat, fat, really really fat) You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it (Fat, fat, really really fat) You know I'm fat, I'm fat, come on you know (Fat, fat, really really fat) Don'tcha call me pudgy, portly or stout Just now tell me once again who's fat When I walk out to get my mail It measures on the Richter scale Down at the beach I'm a lucky man I'm the only one who gets a tan If I have one more pie a la mode I'm gonna need my own zip code When you're only having seconds I'm having twenty-thirds When I go to get my shoes shined I gotta take their word Because I'm fat, I'm fat, sha mone (Fat, fat, really really fat) You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it (Fat, fat, really really fat) You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it you know (Fat, fat, really really fat) And my shadow weighs forty-two pounds Lemme tell you once again who's fat If you see me comin' your way Better give me plenty space If I tell you that I'm hungry Then won't you feed my face Because I'm fat, I'm fat, come on (Fat, fat, really really fat) You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it (Fat, fat, really really fat) You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it, you know (Fat, fat, really really fat) Woo woo woo, when I sit around the house I really sit around the house You know I'm fat, I'm fat, come on (Fat, fat, really really fat) You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it, you know it (Fat, fat, really really fat) You know, you know, you know, come on (Fat, fat, really really fat) And you know all by myself I'm a crowd Lemme tell you once again You know I'm huge, I'm fat, you know it (Fat, fat, really really fat) You know I'm fat, you know, hoo (Fat, fat, really really fat) You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it, you know (Fat, fat, really really fat) And the whole world knows I'm fat and I'm proud Just tell me once again who's fat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Tallone's post about "I like Chinese " made me recall this little ditty sung to the tune of " The Cat's in The Cradle " ... Apologies if you've just finished your Kung Pao Chicken ... LOL Cat's in the Kettle Did you ever think, when you eat Chinese It ain’t pork or chicken but a fat Siamese? Yet the food tastes great, so you don’t complain. But that’s not chicken in your chicken chow mein. Seems to me I ordered sweet-and-sour pork But Garfield’s on my fork. He’s purrin’ here on my fork. ... There’s a cat in the kettle at the Peking Moon The place that I eat every day at noon. They can feed you cat and you’ll never know Once they wrap it up in dough, boys: They fry it real crisp in dough. ... Chou Lin asked if I wanted more As he was dialin’ up his buddy at the old pet store. I said "Not today. I lost my appetite. "There’s two cats in my belly and they want to fight." I was suckin’ on a Rolaid and a Tums or two When I swear I heard it mew, boys: And that is when I knew... ... There’s a cat in the kettle at the Peking Moon I think I gotta stop eatin’ there at noon. They say that it’s beef or fish or pork But it’s purrin’ there on my fork. There’s a hair-ball on my fork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicknameless Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Well I am surprised no one has mentioned "I am the Walrus" - The Beetles "Bionic Man" - The Fabulous Poodles "Living in a Box" - Living in a Box I higly doubt One Week counts by the Barenaked Ladies but it does have some weird lyrics and I do really like it.

Rose Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Novelty? Im not sure if "Yellow Submarine" would fit into that category, because Im kind of stupid. But if it does fit into that category, then that would be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinlaker Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 How about "Don't Worry Be Happy" by Bobby McFerrin? Good sittin' on the beach song with cold one in hand if not a novelty song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Here's an oldie...was #10 on the charts in 1948.. I'm My Own Grandpa Guy Lombardo Now many many years ago when I was twenty-three I was married to a widow who was pretty as can be This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red My father fell in love with her and soon they too were wed Oh I'm my own grandpa I'm my own granpa It sounds funny I know, But it really is so Oh I'm my own grandpa This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life My daughter was my mother 'cause she was my father's wife To complicate the matter even though it brought me joy I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy My little baby then became a brother-in-law to Dad And so became my uncle, though it made me very sad For if he was my uncle, then that also made him br'ther Of the widow's grown-up daughter who was also my stepmother Father's wife then had a son who kept them on the run And he became my grandchild, for he was my daughter's son My wife is now my mother's mother and it makes me blue Because altho' she is my wife, she's my grandmother too Now if my wife is my grandmother, then I'm her grandchild And every time I think of it, it nearly drives me wild For now I have become the strangest case I ever saw As husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMAC Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 (edited) "Wet Dream" was a good one. Also anything by Stan Freeberg...especially "The Old Payola Roll Blues." Don't forget "Transfusion" by Nervous Norvus... Transfusion, transfusion My red corpuscles are a mass confusion. Never never never gonna speed again. Slip the blood to me, Bud.
