"The first two chapters of Part One serve as preparation for the understanding of humor in music. Chapter III, then, approaches the topic directly, examining the various forms in which humor can exist: referential humor, that is, humor elicited through non-musical connotations and absolute humor - that which is portrayed through the musical material itself. In both cases, elements of surprise, exaggeration, incongruity and the like are present in order for the humor to be effective. Through the use of examples from vocal and instrumental literature, humor in music is shown in all its forms - from subtle wit to slaptick. Since the focus of this study in the instrumental music of the Classical style, a more detailed look into the eighteenth-century aesthetic view of humor in art rounds off Chapter III and prepares for the analyses in Part Two," [p. 176-177].

"This book takes a fond look at one of music's most enduring and most eccentric genres. From their roots in the raucous rhymes 'n' rhythms of Louis Jordan and the inspired lunacy of Spike Jones in the Forties to the musical madness of "Weird Al" Yankovic in the Nineties, novelty songs have always provided a titter, a chuckle, a groan, or a barrel of laughs."

Poking fun at twenty of the best songs ever, Murray Sexton s cabaret-style song parodies (or derangements ) are by turns hilarious, clever, precise, gay, leathery, sentimental, deep and whimsical. Sexton leaves no sacred cow unmilked as he takes unflinching aim at love, jealousy, open relationships, loan sharks, the Red Velvet Armadillo Groom s Cake from Steel Magnolias, and what folks call beer goggles (or as he phrases it, the Cosmopolitan Eye ). Also: celebrities who died of drug overdoses (provided their names rhyme). "
