Where To Watch
Who sang these novelty hits?
You've heard 'em. Who sang 'em?
Novelty songs are hard to pin down. What makes them different from one-hit wonders? Do they always have to be funny? Does parody count?
For starters, a novelty song is rarely concerned with revolutionizing the industry. They're not recorded in hopes of being the next Beatles. Typically, they're one-off tunes with humor at their center. Sometimes, they're built around a gimmick, or maybe even some piece of cultural ephemera.
However you decide to define novelty songs, you know one when you hear one. And you've probably heard most of these! But do you remember who sang which one? Find out here with this quiz that's just for you. Be sure to share your thoughts and your score in the comment section below!

It doesn’t matter…the one you did is fantastic! I’m glad the pic I sent came out clear. Sometimes the IPad won’t take a good one (probably coz of lighting) LOL. Or the operator 😂🤣
Hi Tex. If it's not too much trouble, do you think you could find a movie for me? I wanted to compare "Abe Lincoln in Illinois" to a couple other Lincoln movies I've seen. It's from 1940. I'd have to pay to see it on YouTube and I'm not going to do that. No big deal if you can't find it. Thanks!
What a great video! Do you remember, the 21st night of September 👏
Hi there everyone! I’m just checking in…We have had 100+ temps (not including H.I.) here and will continue for next 7 to 9 days 😳🥵 Dog Days of summer are real!
How awful! At least we get rain mixed in with our heat. And we don't get temps over 100 as a rule. Topping off at mid-90's mostly.
Maybe this will cool you a bit. 🥶💦🏊♀️🍉🍨🧊🌧🌊

Yep! Looks like we’re in the same Club 👀
