Markie's Diary (mp3)
This was posted in the MeFi comments by Pretty_Generic, but it was so buried I was afraid it might be lost forever. And until today I always thought this was the worst song I'd ever heard... The original thread is great too.

Your second link seems like a 50's cowboy cousin of Peter Tosh's Shame and Scandal in the Family, but without the happy ending. I wonder if there's a whole genre of incest prevention songs out there?

This can be found here (scroll to Feb 23), along with a blurb about the originator of the song. The 365 Days project is full of gems like that one. My two favorites are Ben (scroll to May 27) and Habanera from "Carmen" (scroll to April 24). Direct links here and here, but make sure to read the stories behind each.

Thanks MKB - I was searching for the 365 Days project but for naught. Your google-fu is mighty.

I always lose my link to 365 days, ooga, and it is kinda hard to google, but I got lucky this time. I'm sure it's in forksy's music blog post, so you can find it there when your google-fu fails.

Thank you, thank you for that link, Mr Knickerbocker! What a treasure that site is! You rock!

...Elmo?

What a treasure that site is! Yeah, I think so too.

I'm very sorry but, I have to tell you that you've got ringworm. It's a very common disease.
