I'm not even angry.
I'm being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my heart.
And killed me.
And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you!

How Are You Doing? by The Front Lawn

Nah, Yeah, Eh?

No video so you'll have to imagine Don McGlashan and Harry Sinclair in this laconic Kiwi chat

This was massive for a while when I was a kid - still catchy as, tbh.

Bobby "Boris" Pickett - Monster Mash

My grandma loved novelty songs and she used to make mix tapes and send them to all her family. So of course I had to pick something I remember from listening to those tapes as a kid.

All right, I've been asked to leave the building (not really, but life calls).

Let me throw one more at you. The ultimate, for me, of a novelty tune because it is effing brilliant (shoulda been a hit)–

Jeff Beck, "Jeff's Boogie" (1966; Beck Bogart Appice live, 1973)

There was a man with a zig-zag on his face, but I refuse to link you to "The Laughing Gnome", so here's the next best bit of vari-speed jiggery (Bowie and Mick Ronson's vocals) with bits of Mozart ("The Magic Flute") and Bach ("Partita No. 3 in E") from a contractually obligated album –

David Bowie, "See Emily Play" (1973)

"Yeah, it’s a joke number."
~ Syd Barrett, referring to Pink Floyd's 'See Emily Play'.

My parents were great fans of Spike Jones and so in their memory I present, Spike Jones and His City Slickers with their version of the William Tell Overture. I can still my Dad saying "And hears comes Beetlebaum..." Pure anarchic fun!

I'm going to risk a parody of a earlier hit by the same band, and the parody in turn became a hit (No. 6 on Billboard), after being composed in all of 30 minutes.

Contains the immortally stupid line (in a moment of compositional brilliance), "You're my pride and joy et cetera" –

The Turtles, "Elenore" (1968)
