Ya Gotta Be Kinddin': Songs with Tongue Firmly in Cheek

Rotations ·

2025/03/16

This episode of Rotations is presented by Madison Moffat. It is a selection of recordings where if you listen to them and think 'They have got to be kidding'; then you probably have cottoned on to the general idea. Novelty records, ‘outsider’ music (a category used particularly in the ‘60s and ‘70s), comedians having a lend, and bona fide musicians doing what it takes to get short-term attention from the media. All intended to shock or amuse; typically, both.Tracklist:Kazooed on Classics / Temple
