(1952), "Sh-boom" (1954), "Louie Louie" (1955), "Da Doo Ron Ron" (1963), and "Yummy Yummy Yummy (I've Got Love In My Tummy" (1968). Those songs are all closer in vintage to  "Night and Day" (1932) than they are to today. I'm having trouble seeing a trend line here.

I can think of a couple of novelty songs that have class.

"Pink Elephants" and "Swinging On A Star".
