So simple these songs, yet somehow hit the spot when it comes to fun, (I particularly liked the Kookie one with Ed Byrne and Connie Stevens).
Fun songs lika "Shaddap You Face" by Joe Dolce

Another simple one and the nonsense of it just gets me!One of my favorites.Not too slow, not too fast, just half fast.

Yes.. and it was a nice bonus of having much-older siblings- enjoying all these super 45 rpm records.

Here is a song we enjoyed very much as children called "Paddy Mcginty's goat", (we remember it sung by an Irish singer and entertainer who was very popular over here called Val Doonican, but this rendition is much earlier, and apparently performed by two Americans who were popular in Ireland back in the day):

They'd never get away with this today - and rightly so!

Good innocent fun in my view, (and how important are a good pair of legs by the way, especially when you get older and looks may be slightly on the wane anyway!!

“ Dustman” by Lonnie Donegan became the first UK record to go straight in at No 1 on the singles chart and was also the first comedy tune to top the chart. It also reached No 1 in Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

We've just got to have a reminder of this classic by Ray Stevens haven't we, on a fun thread, (cant think why it had not appeared earlier!):

I've just found this address to a Christian organisation worthy of a place amongst the great fun songs above, (though not a song as you'll see, and I hope you'll excuse the slight diversion), as its both funny and poignant at the same time, so almost worth a place in the other thread I recently posted:

A performer who was quite popular here back in the day, who I suppose you'd call a concert hall star, who acted in a few films, and did stand up comedy as well, (not my favourite but talented nonetheless):

Now for sheer fun this is the one, by the master of them all Louis Armstrong, with Velma Middleton, and "Baby its cold outside":

Some of the old ones have a charm that is hard to replicate nowadays:

A classic fun song, sung by Terry Jones of the Monty Python team,........, (please be warned, if you're not familiar with their brand of humour you'll need to maybe listen to it all the way through a couple of times to get the way he's pulling the listeners leg, with a huge dollop of irony ):
