Novelty Songs

Farkin' hell, it's been a chore this morning to wrangle with computers trying to get this poop together. Hopefully it's all worth it in the end somehow. I do like comments, kids. It lets me know that somebody's stopped by and appreciated the crap I go through.




1. Death to Disco
2. Wipeout

Hard to disagree with the Jim LaLumia's sentiment and I suppose being in NYC at the height of it all probably didn't help. And how can you go wrong with Wipeout?



1. Tomahawks
2. Dial-A-Teen
3. Pump-Rama
4. Teenage Enema Nurses in Bondage

Killer Pussy. The title alone is enough for me. I'm pretty sure that if I'd had this years ago that much of this Ep would have found its way onto countless mix tapes for decades.



1. A Blind Man's Penis
2. Call to a Motel

But I saved the best for last today. "A Blind's Man Penis" has to rank as perhaps the greatest single novelty song in the history of modern records bar none. It's also a classic Song Poem & a prank. Follow the link and read the story of how it came to be. It's brilliant and beautiful and never fails to bring a little tear of joy to my eye. This is a first class winner for the ages.
For the sake of anal retentive completeness I include the prank phone call on the b-side, but personally I find it rather uncompelling.
