9.ee - Frankie Smith - Double Dutch Bus (Novelty Song)
"Double Dutch Bus" was an unlikely 1981 chart hit (#1 Soul and #30 Pop) from 40 year old Philadelphia songwriter Frankie Smith. It was one of the earliest examples of a song with rapping finding mainstream success.
Its superpower is the call-and-response verse in the middle sung in the izz infix variation on Pig Latin, which dates back to the Harlem Renaissance and was later employed by Jay-Z and Snoop Dog.
Smith: Hilzi, gilzirls! Yilzall hilzave t' milzove ilzout the wilzay silzo the gilzuys can plilzay bilzasket-bilzall
Hi girls, you have to move out the way so the guys can play basketball.
Girls: Say wizzat? Nizzo-izzo wizzay
Say what? No way!
Smith: Yizzall bizzetter mizzove
You all better move.
Girls: Say wizzat? Willzy illzain't millzovin'
Say what? We ain't moving.
Smith: Shillzu gillzar bilzaby
Sugar baby!
Girls: Willze illzare plizzayin' dizzouble dizzutch
We're playing double dutch.
Smith: Millze cillzan sillzome plilzay dilzzouble dilzutch!

Girl: Hilzzoo?

Smith: My gizzirl

10.YM - Eat It by Weird Al Yankovic - Novelty song
- One of the first novelty songs that came to mind (after King Tut) when I started making my list for this draft.
- Jr High-aged nerdy me thought this song was fine art. Weird Al won a Grammy for this song to validate my appreciation for it.
- This song made it to #12 in the US. It also made it to #1 in Australia (Beat It only made it to #3), proving the Aussies have impeccable taste.
- Eddie Van Halen originally played the guitar parts for this song.
- I used to sing this song to my kids when they were babies and were picky with their food. “Eat it! Open up your mouth and feed it!”

It doesn’t matter what you had for lunch, just eat it.

9.ee - Citizens Band Radio - Novelty Trend
One of the stranger things to happen in 70s culture was the lionization of long-haul truck drivers as a new breed of American heroes. The CB radio was their medium for communications and community. In the aftermath of the oil crisis and the nationwide 55mph speed limit, CB radios were used by truckers to locate fuel, troopers and radar traps and to organize convoys and occasionally blockades.
CB radio and its colorful lingo went mainstream via song, film and television. At the peak of the craze in the late 70s, there were over a million licensed (and many unlicensed) CB users in the country . This flooded the limited number of available channels and made it less useful for the truckers' original purpose. It was a classic case of a trend's explosion and subsequent death spiral.

Usually metal where you’d have to unlink the chain, or a plastic cube where you had to line up small balls in the right spot. Sometimes a water toy where you pump air to launch a plastic ring and try to place it right.

11.YM - Paul Reubens aka Pee-wee Herman
I didn’t want to use my third flex spot yet since I have so many great options, but I couldn’t wait any longer for this novel character played by a unique actor. Truly a one of one, there was no one else like Pee-wee.
He had iconic movies, unique stage performances, and an Emmy winning TV show. He was on Letterman, Leno, Conan, and Fallon. He made appearances on Sesame Street, WrestleMania, a Chechen and Chong movie, SNL, the Dating Game, the Academy Awards, and Top Chef, among many others.
He was a cultural icon who has a Hollywood star, his own dance, a failed attempt at a sugar free cereal, toys, clothes, merchandise, and had an infamous [ahem] “appreciation” of the fine arts.
The outpouring of love and emotion upon his recent passing showed the impact of Paul Reubens and Pee-wee Herman.
Pee-wee was the true definition of novelty.
One of the finest actors of our generation:

I was about five years-old when this song was released and I can still remember being at a family gathering where the adults were all gathered round laughing and yucking it up this song. To me, it was definitely received by listeners as a novelty. Sample size = 1.

I deleted my post - because it’s not my place to determine what is and what isn’t a novelty - o just remember this song getting regular airplay on rock stations, but I shouldn’t have bothered.

11.ee - Chuck Berry - "My Ding-a-ling" (Novelty Song)
We got to do our alma mater, we must do our alma mater
"My Ding-a-ling" was Berry's only #1 US hit. It was a cover of a song written two decades earlier by New Orleans R&B artist Dave Bartholomew. Berry originally recorded a studio version in 1970 but it didn't make the cut for his albums. But a live recording from a festival in England was released as a single and became an unlikely late-career hit for Berry. He was a notoriously temperamental live performer but Berry sounds like he was in especially good spirits that night. His banter and the audience's response elevates the slight material. There's also an eleven minute live version that includes a lot of instructions to the crowd.
It's funny how some songs remind you of a specific time and place. It's been fifty (!) now but whenever I hear "My Ding-a-ling", I'm taken back to a party that took place when I was in the 8th grade. It was winter time so some of us went outside and had a snowball fight. I distinctly remember hiding by the side of the house to reload and hearing this song playing in the basement. By the next year in 9th grade, alcohol, pot and sex entered the chat so a snowball fight in 1972 symbolizes for me an end of innocence. If Orson Welles made a movie based on my life, it would open with old man Eephus gazing into a snow globe while "My Ding-a-ling" played in the background.

12.ee - American Girl Dolls - Novelty Flex
In honor of National Daughters Day which is apparently a thing today, I'm turning my twelfth rounder over to ditkaburgers. We went to the Giants game last night and ended up talking about this draft for a couple of innings. She had a bunch of good ideas but I'm going with this one.
American Girl Dolls were a series of 18" dolls with ridiculously overpriced outfits and accessories. They were a phenomenon in the 1990s-2000s which aligned perfectly with ditkaburgers' youth. They were originally coupled with historical fiction books that provided backstories for the dolls but after a few years yielded to customer demand for more contemporary clothing and occupations. At the peak of the craze there were American Girl movies, flagship stores, cafes, magazines and websites. It's for this reason, I'm drafting it as a flex rather than a novelty toy because it would just be a doll if not for the saturation marketing.
In addition to the historical characters, you could customize American Girl dolls to more closely match the facial characteristics of an individual child. According to the wiki on Fandom, there have been 92 different permutations of dolls over the years. Ditkaburgers' doll (which she named Leah) was the "Just Like You 11" model. The resemblance isn't really that striking but it was special for a multiracial child to have a doll that sort of looked like her. Leah is still around but I haven't seen much of her lately but back in the day, we attended many memorable tea parties together.

One of my friend's dad was really big into his CB Radio. He actually did voices and created different personas while communicating over air.
"Wolfman Jack" was his big one. He did a great impression.
One that didn't age well in hindsight was "Bruce" who was a flaming homosexual.

It's all kind of ridiculous in retrospect.
I mean, can you imagine a bunch of total strangers communicating over public airwaves using fake identities and their own made-up lingo.
