    Good call. Similarly:

    1. Onomatopoeia - Todd Rundgren

    2. Emperor of the Highway - Todd Rundgren

    3. Frogs - Todd Rundgren

    And, see, what I love about Rundgren's novelty songs, whether you like them or not, they're never throwaway. He puts just as much care, attention and effort into these as he does with his more soulful, serious output. In case you're not familiar with Todd, he's the only person on this (unreleased) track. All his own backing vocals, the lot:

    Just 5? I've got a playlist full of the things. This is the current top 5 but it'll probably change again tomorrow. Most of these are slightly NSFW

    Tim Minchin - Inflatable You
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOuqEzmg304
    (definitely not your usual love song)

    Tom Lehrer - Oedipus Rex
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mScdJURKGWM
    (skip to 1m55 if you can't be bothered with the intro)

    Fascinating Aida - Cheap Flights
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAg0lUYHHFc
    (An ode to Ryan Air)

    Mitch Benn & The Distractions - Tea Party
    http://video.uk.msn.com/watch/video/tea-party-tea-with-your-aunt-is-normally-such-innocent-affair/5xvuq42z
    (I love the way it changes musical genre with each verse)

    The Dubliners - The Sick Note
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_Vfxuk8x_A
    (a tale of workplace misfortune)

    Everything's AOR, or Outbreak of Vitas Geralitius off McIntyre, Treadmore and Davitt. But all off the 2 Back in the DHSS are hysterical.

    Bobby Brown by Frank Zappa

    There's a lot of good Zappa ones:
    Penis Dimension
    The Groupie Routine
    Dumb All Over
    The Heavenly Bank Account
    Suicide Chump
    Dinah-Moe Humm, etc etc.

    My favourite comedy xmas song is "Inadmissable" by a band called Bah & The Humbugs (about Santa trying and failing to get through US Border Control). Their song, The Christmas Tree From hell is good too.

    Splodgenessabounds did a few, Michael Booth's talking bum, the bicycle seat, socks, Simon Templar, two pints of lager and a packet of crisps. Also one called 'saying goodbye to his horse' which I used to think was in some way linked to the chant but it isn't.
