Is that the same George Burns the film actor?


Yessir :)

I always liked "The Curly Shuffle" which had all these one-liners by the 3 Stooges.

Yessir :)
How old was he then when he was in the charts?

How old was he then when he was in the charts?


84 years old, if my calculations are correct.  He was 100 years old when he died in 1996

Three Little Pigs..Green Jelly
This is a story about three little piggies..and a BIG, BAD, WOLF!

That song was so cool! And the video was pretty dam funny...


Not sure...but I think that was a 1990s song. I'd say...1993? ???

I prefer some of these  . . .   :D

'Woodpeckers from Space' - Videokids
'Star Trekkin'' - The Firm
'The Chicken Song' - Spitting Image
'Nelly the Elephant' - Toy Dolls
'We Just' - Moses
'Agadoo/Conga' - Black Lace (anyone remember 'Gang Bang', lol  ;D)
'The Wizard' - Paul Harcastle (became the 'Top of the Pops' tune of the mid/late 80s)
'Japanese Girl' - Aneka
'Tarzan Boy' - Baltimora
'Geil' - Bruce and Bongo
'Love Missile f1-11' - Sigue Sigue Sputnik
'Atomic Dog' - George Clinton
'Stutter Rap' - Morris Minor and The Majors
'Holiday Rap' - MC Miker G and DJ Sven
'Loadsamoney' - Harry Enfield
'Edelweiss' - Edelweiss
'It's raining men' - Weather girls
'Doctorin' the tardis' - Timelords




For obvious reasons, I totally missed Bobby's post ('cause back then, I wasn't a member you see).

There I was, thinking all this time I was the only one knowing "We Just"... That's a classic! Not a novelty song, though...it was actually the tune to an Italian pop music program. One of my all time favorite 1980s songs, too. It reached #3 in Dutch Top 40.

And "Geil"...? Yes, that's a novelty song. "On Friday the 13th of December, Bruce and Bongo discovered Germany's most successful word: Geil".   :D

Oh wait...See for yourself...Bruce & Bongo - Geil

I like both "Valley Girl" and "Pac Man Fever".

Just out of interest, I posted a torrent file to Torrent Spy a few months back:

Get it while you still can  ;D

(Everybody Run!)The Homecoming Queen has a Gun  I love this song

as a 30 year plus fan of the good dr. demento,  i have heard many many novelty songs, some of the best are,  i yust go nuts at christmas..  yoggie yorgenson
                                              wet dream.... kip adodda
  anything from weird al yankovik,  fish heads...  barnes and barnes,  dead puppies...  odgden edsel,  the ballad of erving...  frank gallop        just to name a few!

Not 1980s, but definitely a Dr. Demento classic (and played on his show a lot in the 80s):

"They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha-Haa!" by Napoleon XIV

I prefer the flip-side to this record more.

what was on the Flip side Phil?

                ......................  i was wondering that myself?

what was on the Flip side Phil?

That's what they used to call him, "Flipside Phil"!


The Stranglers: Vladimir and the Beast

what was on the Flip side Phil?
The song on the filp-side is "!aaaH-aH ,yawA eM ekaT oT gnimoC er'yehT", which is  "They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!" played in reverse.

(Everybody Run!)The Homecoming Queen has a Gun  I love this song


Man, some of these recent threads were packed away in moth balls for a loooong time.  Anyway, I agree, this song got my vote also ;)

Mexican Radio by Wall of Voodoo

While I remember and like most of these, there are a few I ought to mention:

Krypton- Responsible for "Hangover" & "Let's Blow Up the Tow Truck".

Kip Adotta- His best song was "I Saw Daddy Kissing Santa Claus".

Marvin, the Paranoid Android- Best song was "Marvin"......you know what makes me really sad? They clean me w/a Brillo pad.

Ivor Biggun- Maybe not '80s, but "Bras On 45".....it's now highly sought out on Karapke!

Jeez, I had forgotten all about that!  We even used to listen to it, if you can imagine that    ;D

I don't have a link to an instrumental version, but Ivor's website has an MP3 of the original.

As for 80s, according to Dr. Demento playlist archives, it was first aired in 1982.  That's as 80s as it gets.

Boobs! Up-side my head!  Boobs upside my head!
- Eat your heart out, Gap Band. 

I wonder how many parodies he wedged in here... Gary Numan's "cars" was obvious, the reference to the Bristol "Stump" (Stomp) was pretty obscure.  I wonder what "I got out my tent pole and chewed her" refers to.

I pick "Superbowl Shuffle" but I'll add I have a MAJOR bias - I've been a lifelong Bears fan, plus had a crush on at least one of the Bears players at that time   ;D

That said, I liked "Valley Girl" then.

I also liked "Aw Shaddap You Face".  In the video, Joe Dolce reminded me of Chico Marx.

"Hit me with your rhythm stick! Hit me- hit me, hit me!
Hit me with your rhythm stick. I'm 6 feet tall, and 5 feet thick!"

I rolled on the floor howling with the memories this evoked in me!

"But she left me for a geezer who had much more chance to please her, with his own 'Master Blaster' and a pair of baggy trousers! Oh, what fun they had..."

I don't know if this is considered novelty, but one I thought was pretty funny: You Be Illin' by Run-D.M.C.  ;D

Anybody remember that one?

Yup-yup!

"He didn't walk straight..kinda side-to-side.
He went up to the clerk and asked, "Uh- yo, is this Kentucky Fried?"
The lady said yes, and smiled. He smiled back-
he gave a quarter and his order: Small fries, BIG MAC!"

The flickering strobes lit up 'er globes that thrust from 'er pullover,
I think her name was June 'cos she was bustin' out all over!
She said "Can you feel the Force, d'you wanna take one step beyond?
I said "Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire, there's a whole lotta shakin' goin' on!"
She said "Knock on wood, I'll blame it on the boogie, now what d'you think about that?"
I said "Ooh, (?heck?), that must be jelly, 'cos jam don't shake like that!"
Not so much of the night fever, more like a belt with a tire lever,
She was not at all pendulous, in fact she was tremendulous!

8 lines, 9 pop music references.  Impressive even by modern stanards.  I wouldn't be surprised if being belted with a tire lever (or any references to "pendulous") were disco-era references that escaped me.

Rodgers and Hammerstein, June is Bustin' Out All Over,
Real Thing, Can You Feel The Force, (1979, no doubt from 1977's Star Wars)
Madness, One Step Beyond,
Jerry Lee Lewis, Great Balls of Fire and Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' on,
Amii Stewart, disco cover of Eddie Floyd's Knock on Wood,
Jackson 5, Blame it on the Boogie,
Bee Gees, Night Fever.

"Pendulous"....could be a RHPS reference.

"It's true there were dark storm clouds: heavy, black and pendulous, twoard which they were driving..."
