Novelty tune jackpot! “Song-Poems” are

Novelty tune jackpot! “Song-Poems” are songs whose lyrics were written by amateur poets, who then paid music-houses to set the poem to music, get up a studio session and record the poem. There’s a great album of this stuff, called “I Died Today,” and here at the American Song-Poem Music Archive, you can download dozens (hundreds?) of song-poem MP3s with titles like “Love Can Strike You In The Strangest Places,” “Rockin’ Little Eskimo,” and “The Lottery Freak.”LinkDiscuss (via MegoSteve)
