This is a blog about my all time favorite novelty songs. Songs out of the norm. Songs to make you laugh or say HUH? Just a bunch of goofy song that somehow made it into mainstream American music. Take a listen to some of the songs listed below. However, be warned these make invoke uncontrollable laughter or stomach illness. I guess it all depends on your take on the songs. I tried to stay away from too Much Weird Al Yankovic as he is great but just too good to be considered to much of a novelty act. Yet a few are worth the mention.
