Whoa, this really is the worst ever! Where did you find this one? Are they still in hiding?

For their own safety I sure hope so. Sheesh that was awful

 

[Beemer]

Try to watch this without laughing. Dare you.

Every.single.time.I see or hear this song it gets stuck in my head. Every.single.time.

Thanks, thanks a lot!!!!!

Actually "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" is a title with very much sense in it. Cause it's a Nigerian saying that means "It comes like it comes". That pretty tells what the song is all about.

Sort of…
After the release of "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" in November 1968, Scott tried to claim a writer's credit for the use of his catchphrase.[15][6] McCartney said that the phrase was "just an expression", whereas Scott argued that it was not a common expression and was used exclusively by the Scott-Emuakpor family.[12]

Yup, pretty much anything Spike Jones or Dr Demento can slide into this thread.
I've actually refrained from posting some Spike Jones on previous threads because I wasn't sure how it might be rec'd.
The Spike Jones folks had a boatload of musical talent to massacre the classics like they did.
(Edit to add Homer and Jethro & Pinkard and Bowden)

Dr. Demento is the man (along with "Weird" Al Yankovic). My sister and I used to listen to his radio show every Sunday night, it came on right after the Dr. Ruth Westheimer Show. I always wondered if the radio station had the programming backwards, given the content of each show.

I just remembered ole' Ray Stevens who had a bunch of novelty gems. Here's a good sample.

Chuck Berry - My Ding-A-Ling

Chuck Berry - My Ding-A-Ling

IIRC this was the only #1 song of his career. Hard to believe!

I'd have to go with "Peaches" from The Presidents of the United States of America. They have a few songs that could be here.

All right, Loudon Wainright III with his gem:

 

[Hoops66]

I've debated about this one, but Tom Lehrer was a professor at MIT and several other places, so that must mean something? Anyway, I played this many times way back when, but...that too must mean something. Sorry to pigeons and squirrels.

Pretty sure that Gitarzan was my introduction to Ray Stevens.

Saw thread title and instantly thought:

 

[64Zcode]

Super Skier - The Chad Mitchell Trio (They also did the Ballad of Lizzie Borden)
My first experience on skis was a lot like this...not good. Really, how hard can it be?? (A lesson or two first would have been a better idea)

I'm guessing Julie Brown never got a Grammy...
