Thread Name: 1950s novelty songs
Subject: RE: 1950s novelty songs
Pretty sure "The Little Blue Man" was sung by Jaye P Morgan (who was a descendant of banker J P Morgan, FWIW).

Another 1950s novelty song was:

"You'd never think they'd go together,
But they certainly do:
The combination of English Muffins and Irish Stew."


Anita Bryant had a novelty song with a title something like "'Cause He Looked Like You."
It was all about her having dreams where the 'hero' "looked like you," so she let him hold her, kiss her, etc.
One line I remember was:
"I dreamed I was Princess of Bombay
Inspecting my armies (?) on Monday.
A thousand men came marching by,
Each looked like you, each winked his eye.
I let 'em (kiss?) me, 'cause they looked like you.



Then there was The Ames Brothers' "The Naughty Lady of Shady Lane."


Was "Ahab The A-rab" from the '50s or the early '60s.
