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

I remember that! I think there were a couple. I remember Convoy being in one, right? early 70’s?

search Dickie Goodman

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

[Texas Eagle]

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.

There were others as I recall.

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.

Funky Favorites

And it looks like the LP is worth a pretty penny these days.

[prisoner6]

Don't recall off hand the one you are talking about but here are a few of my favs.

Don't leave you records in the red hot sun - John Hartford.

Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian - John Prine

Jack's in the sack - John Hartford

Happened to be listening to that one so I had the link. The others are all on You Tube as well

Good Old Electric Washing machine - Hartford

Talk backwards - Steve Goodman and finally one that is a little racy - I think it's cute - In Spite of ourselves John Prine

Hartford, Prine and Goodman have a bunch, just google them

Oh Just thought of another one. What a waste of good corn liquor

This version is by a group. You have to advance to the 1 minute mark to get the song. The best version is by Mac Wiseman but that one is not on You Tube.
