Don't have to. You already did.
I'll nominate a few. All with Billboard Hot 100 chart data:
Shaving Cream / Benny Bell (#30, 1975)
In Heaven There Is No Beer / Clean Living (#49, 1972)
Yes, I used to listen to Dr. Demento a lot in the 70s.
Earache My Eye / Cheech & Chong (#9, 1974)
I don't know if it counts or not, but I still love it.
Here's some novelty songs that made it to the top:
The Chipmunk Song / The Chipmunks (#1, 1958)
The Streak / Ray Stevens (#1, 1974)
Purple People Eater / Sheb Wooley (#1, 1958)
Based on number of weeks on the chart (14) and number of weeks at #1 (6), the Sheb Wooley song is the biggest novelty hit of all time.
