Homer and Jethro did a parody of "(How Much Is That) Doggie in the Window" that went:

"How much is that hound dog in the winder,
With the basketball nose on its face?
You know what a basketball nose is;
It dribbles all over the place."

You know, all this novelty stuff reminds me that we once lived in a far more innocent time, even during WWII, believe it or not. We have become so much more jaded and cynical that a lot of these songs, heard out of their context, seem simply stupid or nonsensical to modern audiences. They served their purpose in that, in every era where they appeared, they relieved the tension of the time and provided a harmless diversion that was much needed. In the 1930's, we had the Depression. In the 1940's, it was WWII. In the 1950's we were concerned about A-bombs and Korea. In the 1960's, it was Viet Nam. Where are the nonsense songs we need now?
