To follow up with Steve’s proposed last hour theme for tomorrow 10/24/25, here are a list of songs I thought of or searched up with nonsense titles and lyrics.
Here’s what I have:

- Hurry Gurdy Man by Donovan
- Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious by the Sherman Brothers
- Wolly Bully by Sam the Sham & the Pharos
- Rama Lama Ding Dong by the Edsels
- Da Doo Ron Ron by the Crystals
- Shimmy Shimmy, Ko-Ko-Bop by Little Anthony & the Imperials
- Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker) by The Rolling Stones
- Ooh-Wakka-Doo-Wakka-Day by Gilbert O’Sullivan
- Coo-Coo-Coo-Coo-Coo by the Four Tops
- They’re Coming To Take Me Away, Ha-Haa by Napoleon XIV

- Gitarzan by Ray Stevens (This can also count as a song in the list of ones with nonsense titles as well)

- Zorba the Greek & Porpoise Song by the Monkees
If I can think of anymore songs with nonsense titles and/or lyrics, I will include them in any follow ups that I might or might not post in response here between now and tomorrow. And if anyone that finds this has any songs in mind with nonsense titles and/or lyrics in mind to suggest for this potential theme, feel free to list them in the comments below. Or if anyone here has any other ideas for a fifth/last hour theme for tomorrow 10/24 and songs to suggest for them, comment it all down below as well.
