"The Hole in the Ground" by Bernard Cribbins, 1962

Mainly know him for Doctor Who (Tom Campbell in Peter Cushing movies, Wilf on TV) but it seems he had a little musical career. Right Said Fred, of "I'm Too Sexy", were named after one of his songs.

"The Bird on My Head" by David Seville (Ross Bagdasarian), 1958

On the subject of novelty songs about talking birds... this one did not chart as well. It came out after "Witch Doctor" but before "The Chipmunk Song"; seems largely forgotten.
