It seems like there were a lot of novelty recordings back in the 70s - was Steve Martin’s King Tut in the 70s or early 80’s? (I looked - 1978). The Streak was a classic, Disco Duck is best left in the 70s, Mr. Jaws was kind of funny at the time (probably because I was 10 at the time.) Even Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer was from the 70s.

I can’t say I’ve ever heard “Freeze a Yankee,” but I grew up in Connecticut and it might have been slightly less popular up that way.

This got a lot of airplay in the spring of 1979. The singer, Bobby "So Fine" Butler said he was selling the record to motorists waiting in long lines at gas stations as a result of the fuel shortage caused by the Islamic revolution in Iran.

Amongst many of these great songs, we had “Convention ‘72” in our jukebox. Hilarious that most of the sampled songs I knew only from that!
