 | | A novelty song is a song, usually in published or recorded form. | | | Novelty songs are frequently unexpected hits, and may bring their authors or singers unexpected, though often temporary, fame. | | | These songs are usually of a humorous nature, such as a parody, or a comedic take on current events or fads. |

| | Introduction: Froggy's Novelty Song Lyric Collection |
| | Novelty song lyrics are often slangy and full of topical references of the time. | | | Extremely popular songs would also inspire parody songs expressing how sick the listener was of the repetition of the popular song. | | | These lyrics to early 20th century American novelty songs were transcribed from contemporary performances, recorded on "78" and "Edison Disc" records, in addition to a few cylinders. |

| | However, the song was closer to RandB garage band music, and missing the element of nursery rhyme/nonsense lyrics that would be introduced by staff songwriters Joey Levine and Elliot Chiprut. | | | Bubblegum rock is also reminiscient of pre-rock novelty songs such as "Abba Dabba Honeymoon" and "The Hut Sut Song," which hit the charts in the late 1940s, and hipster foolishness like Slim Gaillard's "Cement Mixer (Puti Puti)". | | | This hybrid of RandB, garage rock, novelty songs, and nursery rhymes later surfaced in the post-Beatles era in songs like "Wooly Bully" (by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs, 1964), which emphasized a hard-driving Tex-Mex beat and absurd lyrics. |

| | Novelty singer Max Surban gets serious - SATURDAY SPECIAL (July 17, 1999) |
| | Ka Doroy found the song title and the lyrics suggestive. | | | For the 14-track "Ang Harana ni Max Surban," Max worked on the lyrics for only one song, "Gugma Ako." The melody is based on an old American song he used to sing as a child. | | | Since then, he has composed all the songs in his novelty albums. |

| | History of Novelty Songs in Popular Music - Fad Songs |
| | Novelty songs are different from most popular songs in that they usually have an invisible expiration date with the exception of Christmas Songs and to a lessor extent, Halloween Songs. | | | The earliest novely song we could find was recorded in the days before CD, Cassette Tapes, even vinyl records. | | | Sometimes you can't tell the difference between a novelty song and an odd pop song written on purpose. |

| | Spike Jones is arguably the king of the novelty song. | | | For those people over the ages of 35 or 40 who grew up listening to radio, various novelty songs may be particularly keen aspects of their youthful remembrances. | | | He also achieved hit singles with such novelty songs as "Ahab The Arab" and "Harry The Hairy Ape." These were two of four Top 40 novelty songs he scored in the '60s. |

| | Novelty Songs - Fixture On The Popular Music Charts |
| | Novelty songs have always been a fixture on the popular music charts--and they probably always will be. | | | Novelty material, however, seems have been released with much greater frequency, and gone to achieve much greater commercial success, during the interregnum spanning the decline of classic rock 'n' roll in the late 1950s up through the eve of the British Invasion. | | | By the dawn of the 1960s, song parodies had become the leading form of novelty recording. |

| | Most of these songs, in fact, are barely distinguishable from the general run of popular music being produced in America at the time. | | | A novelty song called Buttered Popcorn finds the young Supremes, on their first visit to the studio, enunciating a lyric of quite breathtaking - and possibly unconscious - lubriciousness. | | | What we do not think of, when we think of Motown, is surf music, or novelty songs, or gospel hymns, or white-bread rockaballads, or supper-club crooning. |

Posterity hasn't been that kind to Patti and her four-legged friend. | | | And, for baby-boom rockers, when all other musical, lyrical, and sociopolitical claims for the rock 'n' roll revolution have collapsed, the memory of growing up with the Bob Merrill songbook will always be justification enough. | | | If you want the entire history of pop music on one single--the tug between its highest aspirations and its basest instincts--Sinatra wrapped it up in 1951: on the B side, "I'm a Fool to Want You," an almost painfully exposed ballad that today ranks as one of his greatest recordings; but, on the A side... |
