beep beep (the little nash rambler song), yakety yak, the little blue
man, the witch doctor, the purple people eater, the itsy bitsy teeny
weeny yellow polka dot bikini, tell laura I love her, teen angel, 
calendar girl, and more totally silly stuff...

Carol responds:

Oh, yes. I remember those songs (except "The Little Blue Man").
Do you also remember that "Teen Angel" was banned in Britain for being
too violent or some such thing? (And, certainly, it's a disturbing
song, about as different from "My friend, the witch doctor, he told me
what to say . . . he said say 'ooh ee ooh ah ah, ting tang walla walla
bing bang'" as possible). BTW, I think you should add "Love Potion
Number Nine" to your list. It fits right in with "the witch
Doctor"--and Harry Potter.

Carol, now trying to get "Tell Laura I lo-ove her, tell Laura I
nee-eed her, tell Laura not to cry, my love for her will never die"
out of her head
