Your favourite or otherwise daft songs

Mine were always
My boomerang won't come back
Mr Custer
(One for my grannie and now my new gd born yesterday on grannies birthday) The Streaker ! I always remember my dad screaming "Don't look Ethel......!)

Kalu. Yes we did that too lol.

Ah merlot, one of my DH's favourites, haha! He can often be heard breaking into song with that one, or the flip side:

How come there's no dog day
How come that it's so
There's a father's day, a mother's day too
Everyone else has a birthday it's true
But how come there's no dog day
I think that once every year
You should buy your poor doggy a present
I'm sure he will love the idea.

Of course, every 'How' is a howl, which DH delights in singing

Ding a ling Chuck Berry.
Still find it funny.

Oh I love that Mollymalone6 as will GDs?? especially when I change the names of Ned and Jim to a couple of family members?

Oh, just remembered, and to the tune of "Jingle Bells":

Spread the news, Spread the news
Spread it all around
Uncle Ned, peed the bed
And we were nearly drowned.

Uncle Jim, tried to swim
Granny laid a fart
Blew the wee bit candle out
And left us in the dark

'The ground's all flat,
And beneath it is a bloke in a bowler hat'

Magicmaggie a work colleague from years ago would sing:

Remember might you fell in the shite
You had your new suit on
The one that you got by saving a lot
Of Embassy coupons

To that tune!

Another American one - Fats Waller, Your Feet's too Big:

I was a big fan of Fats Waller in my young teens, tried to play piano like him.

I loved Perry Como singing ‘Magic Moments’ in the 50’s.
I’ve had quite a few of them since then??

Oh, hope no one else has added it but "Monster Mash" ?

There are several CDs on Amazon Theoddbird with children's favourites from the past. They are all there!

This has been a trip down memory lane for me. I found myself singing many of them. There was children's choice programme back in the 50s on the radio...

Grannybags and Bathsheba, you've got me in stitches here. For many years I did the nonsense words of 'mairsey dotes and dosey dotes and little amsey tivey. A kiddletivey too, wouldn't you?' Never understood the lyrics (understandably) but, ridiculously, I never queried them either. Can only assume I must have thought it was a childrens' nonsense rhyme. Thanks to both of you for making my day. Terrific!

I remember most of those.
Plus the darktown poker club, Phil Harris:

And a very old one, One Meat Ball
www.youtube.com/watch?v=li0qPwn4U8Y

I'm Henry the eighth I am I am
I got married to the woman next door
She'd been married seven times before
Every one was a a Henry. ...... etc

Also many hilarious (but rude) songs from Ian Dury particularly like Billericay Dickie

Oh I've just remembered one about the spider in the bath.

Before I cut my throat, I wrote this little note, "driven to it by the spider in the bath".

Hurrah

Why won’t it let me type cometh

Comets

The gas man comets by Flanders and Swan. Check it out on YouTube, so very true and funny.

the lumberjack song by monty python, also love wish i was at home for xmas jona lewis, it clears the room if i play it but i love it,

I couldn’t sleep a few nights ago, so I asked Alexa to play some easy listening songs in the hope that I might doze off. The first song that rang out at 2am was “The day Delaney’s donkey won the half mile race!” I couldn’t sleep then for laughing ??

My favourites back in the sixties were not really daft songs, myself and cousin were about 11 years old and starting to listen to music we loved Helen Shapiro, You Don't Know and loved her hairstyle also Sandie Shaw singing Long Live Love we had the records and sang and danced to them all the time, (Tried to dance anyway) what fun we had.

We used to sing a highbrow version of Show me the way to go home.
There are several, this was ours:

Indicate the direction of my abode,
For I'm fatigued and desirous o gf repose,
I consumed an alcoholic beverage sixty minutes ago,
And it's penetrated my cranium (sung as caranium to make it scan),
Where ever I may perambulate,
Over land or sea or effervescing liquid,
You will perpetually hear me crooning this melody,
Indicate the direction of my abode.
