    You know, those crazy comedic records that were popular in the 60's & 70's such as...

    Mr. Jaws - Dickie Goodman (the man on the street interviewing folks about the shark and the responses heard are song clips - I wish they still made these hilarious records)

    I've got a 90's favourite if that's ok?

    Mike Flowers Pops version of Wonderwall, far superior to the Oasis version (hoping the fervent Oasis fans from the recent thread don't see this). :whistle:

    This is no novelty. It's a great work of art.

    Was coming here to post this, although I don't think of Tiny Tim as a novelty act. Sadly, this song is what he's best known for, but what a talent beyond that song.

    "Peter and the Commisar" from Allan Sherman and tho Boston Pops, one of my first gifts of an album; his first three LP's make up the "pre-Kennedy" years of my media awareness (kinda skewed because at that time I was too young to know what a "jewish" was, and too far away from Civilization to run into one).
