    A kiddleydivey too, wouldn't you?
    If we're going that route, how about "Chickery Chick", a song my mother used to sing. There's a version on YouTube by the Andrews Sisters.
    I once had lines at school and proceeded to fill in the blank sheet of paper with the lyrics to "Chickery Chick".
    The schoolmaster returned it to me with a red line through it, and the word "Rubbish" written in great big red letters.
    I showed this to my mother, and of course she just burst out laughing.

    .
    That is exactly what we were after, 144man. Perfect depiction of the Andrews Sisters.
    Would have made a great ad for Chicklets gum. Remember that?

    We are now accepting novelty songs that may just be charming, too.

    Remember what the Shirelles' did to "Everybody Loves A Lover", what Inez Foxx did to "Mockingbird", what Baby Jane & the Rockabyes did to "How Much Is That Doggie In the Window?", what Bob B. Soxx & the Blue Jeans did to "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah", all contenders to be here in their own right.

    Well, in 1967, British duo David and Jonathan [[talented composers Roger Cook & Roger Greenaway), attempted to give the same treatment to the Four Lads'/ Max Bygraves "Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer, Katzenellen Bogen by the Sea". I'll leave it to you to decide whether they pullled it off or not. On YouTube.

    Those are all duly qualified, 144man, and ought to be posted one at a time to keep our number of replies rolling. Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer, et al, was once a popular song.
