Novelty songs almost always annoy me. I've heard that they also annoyed Rosemary Clooney when Skitch Henderson made her record them. But at least she got some money out of it.

I will make an exception for Cole Porter, though.

Clooney did not want to sing Come-On a My House and was told if she didn’t, she’d be in violation of her contract. The threat was that Columbia would not only drop her, they’d sue. She sang the blandest she could make it. It was a huge hit, one of Bob Dylan’s favorites in his Philosophy of Modern Song.

Scott Miller can be a bit pedantic for my taste.

Yep! Sure can.

I like the pre-1950s nonsense songs:
Three liddle fiddies
I Scream, You Scream, We all scream for ice cream
Constantinople
Don't Bring Lulu
Crazy Words Crazy Tune

Well, you'll never guess what happened.

Go on, take a guess!

ChasSmith · « **Reply #49 on:** January 19, 2023, 06:14:11 AM »

All right, I'll tell you.

We were just about to leave the house this morning when my phone rang. It was the ophthalmologists's office saying she had a family emergency and they would have to reschedule.

First available date: March 17.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #50 on:** January 19, 2023, 06:15:41 AM »

And honestly, except for the fact that I need this consultation, this week has been such a crazy one that I don't mind getting this day back.

Sometimes a cancellation can be a gift.

And I shall not look a gift cancellation in the mouth. No sirree.

John G. · « **Reply #51 on:** January 19, 2023, 06:21:39 AM »

The mouth of cancellation

The title of my next sociological tract.

singdaw · « **Reply #52 on:** January 19, 2023, 06:22:12 AM »

So you won't be SEEing her today?

singdaw · « **Reply #53 on:** January 19, 2023, 06:22:21 AM »

I'll let myself out.

I would add Nagasaki to that list. Where the girls are wicky wacky.

Thank you. Don’t forget your collar and try not to create too much yellow s**w.

Of ALL your tracts, DR John G., I admire your sociologicals the most.

Would Tom Lehrer's oeuvre be considered novelty songs?

singdaw · « **Reply #58 on:** January 19, 2023, 06:25:08 AM »

If so, I also make an exception for him.
