Extremely popular songs would also inspire parody songs expressing how sick the listener was of the repetition of the popular song. "Yes, We Have No Bananas" was parodied by " I've Got The Yes We Have No Bananas Blues". Songwriters Yellen & Ager followed up their own success " Crazy Words Crazy Tune" with " Vo Do Do De O Blues" --perhaps the composers became tired of the song themselves!

I am fond of 'Never Smile At A Crocodile', and "I'm Walking Backwards to Christmas (Spike Milligan?)
Novelty songs were killed stone dead in 1976 by Bill and Boyd 'Santa Never Made It Into Darwin'.

Agree about that Bill and Boyd Song.
Stone dead?
And yet these are the times for novelty songs.
