SHORT, SWEET, and STUPID
A compendium of old and obscure novelty tunes
guaranteed to get in your head at night and make you
regret the day you were born
Hey Kids!
Unkie Terry here! Today, boys and girls, we launch our series of short, silly novelty songs from the distant past. Many of these tunes are so old that various versions of them have been circulating around the world for centuries. A few of them were taught to me by my Dad. Many of them cannot be traced to a particular song writer, and in my research I found that a few of them have been falsely attributed to songwriters who weren’t yet born until after the song was already making it’s rounds! Some of you will find these ditties fun and funny. Some of you will just smile or maybe emit a little chuckle or two. Some of you will be indifferent to them. Some of you will cringe. Some of you will upchuck. Some of you will want to (in the words of Frank Sinatra), “roll yourself up in a big ball and die.” But ALL of you will agree that your Unkie Terry is scrapping the bottom of the barrel here to keep you ingrates entertained! So without further ado,
we present….
