Wow, what's been going on over here? I can see not wanting too many examples, but now there's not hardly any, including a lot of well-known ones. Including ones that were red-linked. Which, if the criteria for talking about anything in Wikipedia is that it has to have a page of its own, well then we'd have a lot less content. Rufus Sarsaparilla 12:10, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

I typed in comic song and got this, which is about novelty songs. They are not the same beast. A history of the comic song would encompass the French chanson tradition, perhaps Gilbert and Sullivan, music hall, Flanders and Swann, Tom Lehrer, maybe even Richard Stilgoe.
Not on list? Cotton-eye Joe by Rednex, some stuff by the Coasters. Don't if relevant? 137.215.9.20 (talk) 10:41, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Early history
This article is unclear on the early history; if this was a popular genre in the 20s and 30s, then the history section should mention that, and not start with the 40s.--Prosfilaes (talk) 02:19, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
