The Fun Factory, where did all the class acts go!
Not long ago, the viral hit single by Ylvis – entitled The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?) – was everywhere I turned. I'm sure I'm not the only one who didn't think it was that funny. I bring this up because this track in particular is a most recent incarnation of a type of song that I very much enjoy, the novelty song.
Back when popular music had a smart sense of humour and novelty songs were made by real artists, actual masterpieces were produced. So we'll be reliving some of those today in the Music Machine Fun Factory, on the Bell at www.the-bell.net, 2 PM Eastern, 7 PM UK!
I've got a good selection of the groups and artists you would expect together with some you might not! Any requests are very welcome indeed! Do email brian@the-bell.net any time, or tweet @brianhartgen on Twitter.
You can tune in via our website or using many of the popular radio directories and apps. It couldn’t be easier, just search for The Bell.
See you later on if you would love some sillyness and nonsense!
