from MODERN MUSICOLOGY · host modernmusicology
Have we got a fun one for you this week! Thanks to a suggestion by one of our regular listeners, Bill Lemmond, we are delving into the massive catalog of Novelty Songs and Parody Songs! And when you mention Parody Songs, obviously the first name that comes to mind is Weird Al Yankovic. But this topic offers so much more beyond Weird Al. We talk about "great" songs by Dickie Goodman, the king of novelty songs for decades, Sheb Wooley, Bobby "Boris" Pickett, Ray Stevens, MECO, Shirley Ellis, Johnny Cash, The Blues Brothers, Steve Martin, William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, and many others. To hear (nearly) all the music that we talk about in this episode, check out our accompanying Spotify Playlist. Give us your feedback about this episode!
