Thread Name: 1950s novelty songs
Subject: RE: 1950s novelty songs
The Camp Granada Song was re written and re-issued as a single in 1964 with some great updated lines in it referring to the food being better since the food does not have the black spots moving in it anymore---and for entertainment Lenny Bruce will be there.

I have played it a number of times on my SUnday SImcha program. Really a riot---but I doubt it can be considered a "novelty Song" along with things like Mairzy Doats or The Thing. More a satire of summer camps.
