When I lived in Oregon in the early '90s, I listened to Music with Moskowitz, sort of a Pacific Northwest version of Dr. Demento.  This, one of the most famous novelty songs of all time, is from a tape of one episode.  If it's harder to laugh at mental illness these days, I can still appreciate the persistent rhythm of the song (well, it's more of a chant).
