Quarantine Cafe: Novelty/Humor Songs Edition
In rough chronological order, but I haven't looked every song's release year up. It's all guestimated.
Spike Jones, Cocktails for Two.
Louie Prima, Yes, We Have No Bananas.
Alvin and The Chipmunks, Christmas Don't Be Late.
Allan Sherman, Hello Muddah Hello Faddah.
Buchanan & Goodman, Flying Saucer.
David Seville, Witch Doctor.
Snoopy Versus The Red Baron.
Screamin' Jay Hawkins, I Put a Spell On You.
Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs, Little Red Riding Hood.
People who aren't really Beatles fans might be surprised that they did a novelty/humor/parody song: The Beatles, You Know My Name (Look Up the Number). (Well, I mean, I guess Yellow Submarine is a novelty song too. I try not to think of that one.)
Jimmy Soul, If You Want to Be Happy All Your Life.
Napoleon XIV, They're Coming to Take Me Away (Ha-Ha).
The Intro and The Outro, The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band.
The Holy Modal Rounders, Boobs-A-Lot.

Cheech & Chong, Basketball Jones.
Steve Martin, King Tut.
Black Arabs, Sex Pistols disco medley.

A Doctor Demento deep cut, Ogden Edsel, Kinko the Clown.
Another Doctor Demento cut, Odgen Edsel, Dead Puppies Aren't Much Fun.

Pac Man Fever.
Eddie Murphy, Boogie in the Butt.
Camper Van Beethoven, Take the Skinheads Bowling.
Weird Al Yankovic, My Bologna.
Content warning. And I don't know if this counts. But this has to be a joke, right? 2 Live Crew, The F**k Shop.
Julie Brown, The Homecoming Queen's Got a Gun.
Superstars of the WWF, Land of a Thousand Dances.
Weird Al, Eat It.
Weird Al, I Lost on Jeopardy.
I think this counts: Biz Markie, Just a Friend.
Rodney Dangerfield, Rappin' Rodney.

Beastie Boys, Girls.
Bob & Doug McKenzie, featuring Geddy Lee, Take Off.
Bob & Doug McKenzie, the 12 Days of Christmas.
The Fat Boys, Wipe Out.
King Missile, Detachable Penis.
