But it wasn't just a novelty record they were a novelty band with Rob Woodward's 58 year old mum playing the piano - the press made a big thing of this and I remember it was the one and only time my grandma watched TOTP, so maybe she bought it...
* they do have some good stuff such as Delia Derbyshire’s synths.
But in all seriousness I think you are onto something, I can remember many a drunken chorus of the Smurfs Song back in my drinking days, "Do you vair yur caps in bed..." so I reckon that would go down very well with the right audience.
Mind you, I'd like to see how you're going to do "Amazing Grace" by the band of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards.
I have to admit, like Ann Murray's "Snowbird" the song is one of my guilty pleasures. Sort of in the same category as riding a moped or going to bed with a really fat girl - great fun but you wouldn't want your mates to catch you doing it.

Barbie Girl - Can’t remember who it’s by and can’t be arsed to look.
Although, Better Off Alone by Alice Deejay is a guilty pleasure.
I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to

Ah yeah think that's it.
I can understand stuff like Joe Dolce, Birdy Song etc, because even if they're shit, there is the novelty of it, and it's not like anyone takes it too seriously. But the New Kids thing was just awful from start to finish, a whole load of incongruous parts that go from bad to worse.
Just in case there is any doubt, I didn't like it. But on YouTube it has 51m views, so maybe I'm wrong - that's about 51m views more than I've got. Dreadful song.
