Sometimes it is the topic and sometimes it is the format, but a novelty song that endures should also be a good piece of music. Novelty songs were popular in the 1970s and this episode examines some of the most popular ones, including &quot;Spiders and Snakes&quot; by Jim Stafford, &quot;The Cover of the Rolling Stone&quot; by Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show, and &quot;Mr. Jaws&quot; by Dickie Goodman. &amp;nbsp; ","author_name":"For the Record: The 70s","author_url":"http:\/\/www.FTR70.com","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/27209931\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/154483833"}
