Novelty records that you think are genuinely good?!

[timmo]

I would say Boris the Spider is a novelty song

Four to the floor, cliches and sound FX with some octaves thrown in to round it all up.
Exactly how John Williams imagined it should be.
All very well played and arranged though.

I remember this from when i was a kid. I truly believe that history will recognise disco as the greatest musical form ever created. Sod liverpudlian boy bands!

This was a pretty cool novelty album from my teenage years.

A neat spin on the 'sampler' album. I was particularly fond of Good Riddance's effort, which appeared to be a fully formed song.

Not quite sure if this qualifies but it always puts a massive grin on my face and wasn't recorded as a serious track.

I see that you are in Kingston. Is this a local thing as it was always a regular on the juke box in the Clarence after work when I worked in Teddington. Very nostalgic!

Coalville Girls by my old band Iron Python.... You probably have to be from or near Coalville to appreciate the lyrics though....


http://youtu.be/AJOvkq7V4do






Failing that, Bunsen Burner by John Otway, which also features Basschatter Seymourfluid .....

That's my mate Kris, he is indeed the manager of a funeral parlour. That's not me on bass in the video though, I'd left by the time they got round to doing their own songs....

Hate Hades himself!!! Very nice guy, unfortunately the only times I've had to deal with him have been funerals (Mum/Aunt). I don't live up there so not had a chance to see them play classics like Coalville Girls or MILF!!! Will have to combine a trip to see mums old mates with a gig!

Not sure about a Merc, but he did have a black people carrier and a big black Chrysler with a very memorable reg number....

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...

Damn, you beat me to Ernie ! Classic song !
