Back to novelty songs -- how odd does a song have to be to be "novelty"? Last night on the radio I heard the song "Stand" by REM. Not a lick of sense in the whole song (Stand in the place where you live. Now face north. Think about direction. Wonder why you haven't before).

Does it count as a novelty song? A little research showed it peaked in the charts at #6 in 1989.
