Novelty songs - Worldwide ?

I love creating novelty songs (Like the late Victoria Wood) and parodies of classics to make them funny :)
I used to enjoy the singalong songs from people like the late Bernard Cribbins
We had "Gangnam Style"and "Agadoo"... songs with actions and dances are always popular.
More recently there are Christmas hits from Ladbaby (joined by Elton John and Ed Sheeran)
I could list hundreds of novelty songs (but I'll leave that to you, what was your favourite ?)
However they all seem to be British or American...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I want to hear from wikiloopers from non English speaking Countries around the World
Do you have 'Novelty' songs in your own language ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do we have to rely on stuff from the past (which is funnier) because there's not much new happening in that genre.

I think in french we don't have any equivalent. I've just looked up in Wikipedia because I was not sure what "novelty songs" referred to and there's not even a page in french for that term. It seems to refer to a successful song that has some humor in it if I'm not mistaken... I'm thinking of that song in french by Philippe Katerine that was quite popular and has some humor in it (the song is quite annoying though :D) :

That IS a novelty song - you can sing along, dance along, it is a funny video, and has a cheeky 'spoken' section. I enjoyed it Al-Fadista. But as I thought, these songs are not so Popular outside of UK and USA maybe. Thanks for searching :)

My parents are from Portugal so I know some "novelty songs" from Portugal too. At least, I think this could qualify as a novelty song (with some salacious humor :D )

I'm sure that would be funny if I understood it :) But you can tell from the style of the music that it's a catchy, singalong, novelty song.... almost like a 'drinking' song - thanks for finding these <3

This one has chicken noises in, so it immediately qualifies, right?
The Eurovision song contest is a treasure vault full of silly novelty songs sung by one hit wonders.

Netta was in the news this morning as she's being sued for sexual and mental harassment - she called someone fat I believe :)

Like Al-Fadista, I'm not entirely certain what a novelty song is, but we sure have a lot of silly stuff.

Apparently this German song (with no real words) is quite a hit from these two adorable, toothy musicians

Shiihs That's cute, again the music style and the actions make it funny. I'm starting to wonder what a "Novelty" song is myself now :(
Tofzegri Thanks for finding those - they definitely have novelty elements but but I think the music is too good haha!
