A novelty song is a song, usually in a recorded form, that defies the usual categorisation of music, or may not even be music. These songs are usually of a humourous nature, such as a parody, or a comedic take on current events or fads. Novelty songs are frequently unexpected hits, and may bring their authors or singers unexpected, though often temporary, fame.
Most novelty songs are the work of 'one hit wonders', but occasionally an artist may make an erratic career out of novelty songs. Sometimes a novelty song may be made by a singer famous in another sphere, such as comedians, actors, or even sports stars.
