tedmanzie Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) I'm interested in the 'burred edge of novelty'! Records that I consider genuinely good (even if you don't want to listen on repeat) rather than terrible cheese. Here's a couple to get you going, positive contributions/abuse welcome! Streetband - Toast [media]http://youtu.be/lfMmPpNhOVM[/media] The Tornadoes - Telstar [media]http://youtu.be/BxpZ5rOMH4U[/media] Edited September 10, 2015 by tedmanzie Quote
Hobbayne Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Chuck Berry - My Ding-a-ling of course! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMddte6yD2w Quote

fretmeister Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Lawmower Deth's album "Ooo crikey it's..." Awesome playing, superb production, and very silly lyrics. Quote
tedmanzie Posted September 10, 2015 Author Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) more bad than good but still... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuRnwMQkCmY[/media] Edited September 10, 2015 by tedmanzie Quote
tedmanzie Posted September 10, 2015 Author Posted September 10, 2015 this is a real boundary crosser! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjxNnqTcHhg[/media] Quote
MB1 Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 MB1. Napoleon X1V : There coming to take me away The Goons. : Ying Tong Song /I'm walking backwards for Christmas. Quantum Jump: The Lone Ranger Quote
KiOgon Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Bernard Cribbins http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ge_4SlJWfl0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yShvgXZQBTs Quote
socrates Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Surely Herbie Flowers' "Granddad" must be a basschat favourite? No? OK I nominate Bennie Hill's "Ernie (the fastest milkman in the west)" -I actually think that is a good song and any time I hear it I am immediately transported back to my 70s childhood... Quote
phil.c60 Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 "Eat It" by the inimitable "Weird Al" Yankovich, along with many more of his ouvre! Quote
tedmanzie Posted September 10, 2015 Author Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) in a thread of admittedly dubious musical merit, I have to say 'Star Trekkin' for me falls firmly in the 'terrible cheese' camp! [edit - as does 'eat it' !] Edited September 10, 2015 by tedmanzie Quote
tedmanzie Posted September 10, 2015 Author Posted September 10, 2015 The Trashmen - Surfin Bird - Bird is the Word ! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Gc4QTqslN4[/media] Quote
tedmanzie Posted September 10, 2015 Author Posted September 10, 2015 [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1441891642' post='2862667'] But I like it runny ... [/quote] Quote

[/quote] A classic 1 6 4 5 progression. Great song. And modulates after each chorus! nice. Edited September 10, 2015 by dand666 Quote
tauzero Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Just about anything by Ivor Biggun. Anything by Flanders and Swann. Quote
squire5 Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Sister Josephine by Jake Thackary,or 'Fares for 50p' by Fascinating Aida. Quote
mrtcat Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) They have so far done 4 albums which are essentially all novelty but you gotta admit the music is great and they're funny as hell.

Slipperydick Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) +1 for Bernard Cribbins. The Devil came down to Georgia. Charlie Pride I'm My own Grandpa by Ray Stevens. Amos Moses. Jerry Reed. Not that I'm in any way a country fan. Also Shopping for clothes. Steve Gibbons or The Coasters. Edited September 10, 2015 by Slipperydick Quote
chris_b Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 My next suggestions were going to be Star Trekkin and Bernard Cribbins. I'll have to make do with Charlie Drake, Tanglefoot and My Boomerang Won't Come Back and Nellie The Elephant by that band, whose name I've forgotten. Quote
Kiwi Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Don't know if this track made it over to the UK but they were a one hit wonder in NZ. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYPcWRtKVwI[/media] I liked them a lot...apart from the aprons. Quote
operative451 Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) This is seriously my favourite record of all time. I want it played at my funeral. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8sfrg4bFoc[/media] I can't work out how to do the embed thing... Edited September 10, 2015 by Rich doing the embed thing Quote
BigRedX Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Telestar and Surfin' Bird. Novelty records? Really? Quote
colgraff Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 The KLF / Timelords: Doctor in the Tardis. irritatingly catchy and well constructed. Quote
