Collection: Novelty​

Comical or nonsensical songs with light, lilting melodies, performed principally for their comical effect and typically telling a brief story. Novelty songs achieved great popularity during the 1920s and 1930s, and had a resurgence of interest in the 1950s and 1960s. Ray Stevens is noted for his novelty songs such as "Guitarzan" and "The Streak".
