Novelty Records
The definition of a novelty record is somewhat vague, so let's just
say these records were unique and made us smile (or cringe).
We've included YouTube links where available.

For the 54-hour duration of this contest, the station jettisons its usual college-rock format and plays old 45's between trivia questions, including many, many, many silly-songs from the past.
While I remember many of these on this page from the past, I've learned of many more of them (and many others) from participating in this contest.
[Favorite line: “Great googa-mooga, lemme outta here!"]
