As the title does indeed suggest this is nonsense. How many of you will admit to the fact that you will catch yourself singing or humming one of these gems. during the 60's there were a rash of novelty songs that hit the airwaves. There were artists(as Roger Miller) who virtually made a living off of this type of music. Interesting that even some of our own favorite musicians even put there hands into the genre for a couple of tunes. As we would expect a guy like Frank Zappa could prove that there could be commercial potential in the light hearted humor of a novelty song. Dr. Demento would make a career of promoting the novelty songs.Sing along if you want!!
