3878 - We Used to Listen to THAT?!?!?! (Jeff Glazer)
Course Description
Instructor: Jeff Glazer
Peaking in the 50s and 60s, novelty songs are a genre unto themselves. These are (mostly) humorous songs that don't fit into the "normal" song patterns of their time. Remember "Monster Mash?" or "They're Coming to Take Me Away?" How about "Charlie Brown" or "Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah?" The amazing thing about these songs is that almost all the examples I will use made the Billboard Top 20, and many made the Top 10, with some surprise #1 hits tucked in. Look back with a smile or in horror. These songs will bring back memories.
