Do you know what a ‘novelty’ song is? Novelty songs can be described as songs that parody or parody a popular tune, for the sake of satire. Here’s our list of top novelty songs from popular music…

1.) Eat It – “Weird Al” Yankovic
2.) They’re Coming To Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa – Napoleon XIV
3.) Monster Mash – Bobby “Boris” Pickett & the Crypt-Kickers
4.) I Put A Spell On You – Screamin’ Jay Hawkins
5.) King Tut – Steve Martin
6.) My Girl Bill – Jim Stafford
7.) The Streak – Ray Stevens
8.) Disco Duck – Rick Dees and his Cast Of Idiots
9.) White & Nerdy – “Weird Al” Yankovic
10.) Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor – Lonnie Donegan

Observations: Weird Al Yankovic and Ray Stevens were able to make a pretty good living out of writing and recording songs of this ilk, but Ray’s biggest song was a real tune called “Everything is Beautiful,” while Al simply tours making fun of contemporary music.
