Try searching “Dr. Demento songs.” It was his business to play silly songs on the radio back in the day.

The (one-eyed, one-horned) Flying Purple People Eater was by Sheb Wooley. The flying saucer records were by Buchanan and Goodman.

Yeah. I remember a couple of those songs. One of them had to do with the 1972 Presidential election. I remember the "reporter" asking "Mrs. Nixon, what can you tell us about your husband?" and then you hear some country singer sing, "To know, know, know him is to love, love, love him" and so on.

I also remember a sort of narrative type song recorded by a Canadian who sang the praises of The United States in the face of worldwide criticism and ended it with something like, "...and one day, when some country that has denounced The United States turns to America for help, The United States will tell that country to go to Hell."

I wish I could remember who did that song. I've done a YouTube search but have found nothing.

They are called “break in” songs, I think.

Might be fun to put together a modern version. :)

The Canadian that you’re thinking of is the late Gordon Sinclair.

Local disc jockeys used to splice together recordings to amuse themselves and their listeners. I remember hearing things like that on KDKA decades ago. So it's possible that what you're remembering wasn't a commercially-released recording.

One of the pioneers of spliced-together-novelty-records, back in the late '50, was DJ named Dickie Goodman who worked with a guy named Bill Buchanan. Their record, "The Flying Saucer", was pulled after they were hit with lawsuits for copyright infringement (if memory serves).

Anyway, you might try searching for Dickie Goodman and see if he was the one behind the record you're remembering.
