Hello, partygoers, and welcome back to party headquarters. As always, we appreciate visitors to the Listening Party rumpus room!

This week, Mary and her dad tackle side two of our final novelty song mix tape, and Mary questions her dad’s rather broad definition of a novelty song. Despite some complaints at the beginning of this series, it wasn’t so bad, was it?

It was?

Well anyway, pull up a comfy chair and settle down for some more novel songs!
