I feel like that last one really holds up. Could easily have been written in any of the 30 years since and still won the Eurovision Song Contest.

I remember the song, but I didn't know it was Spike Jones. I used to like him and his city slickers.

But you're quite right, it is an annoying song.

It's not clear which year you're referring to, but if we go with 1949 there's this song which, although very dated of course, isn't all bad, imo.
