I'll have to think about it some more, but the one that immediately comes to my mind:
"The Chipmunk Song" - The Chipmunks It's definitely one of my favorite Christmas songs. How can you resist "me, I want a hula-hoop"?  "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

Christmas Don't Be Late Yeah, the song is actually titled "The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)." I knew it reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, but I didn't realize it's apparently the only Christmas song to ever reach the top. "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

I'm not a fun person so novelty songs are not my thing. Having said that, I love this song which might qualify:
Don Quichotte - Magazine 60 video rare TV performance I still have the 12" that I bought over 20 years ago. | |

I've sworn off lists here, so I'm just naming one.  This is the song that immediately comes to mind when I think of novelty songs (well, this and I'm Too Sexy by Right Said Fred). Coincidentally, this one entered the Hot 100 chart 35 years ago this month, peaking at #9. And, no, that's not me in the video:

I don't think Fred Schneider's "Monster" is so terrible. I should add that to my very short novelty list. grammar [Edited 7/18/07 9:13am] | |
