That's In Queensland
"That's In Queensland" is an Australian song and viral video by comedian Denis Carnahan. The song parodies the selection of the Queensland State of Origin team for the annual rugby league State of Origin series. History Under State of Origin rules players were originally selected for the state in which they first played senior (or registered) rugby league. After several years, it was noted that Queensland had selected players born in New South Wales cities. Carnahan was inspired to write a parody song about it based on an advert for Bundaberg Rum. The song lists a Queensland player's birthplace, such as Sydney, Bowraville and Tenterfield with the question "Where is....(eg. Sydney)?", then follows with the statement "that's in Queensland"; the final line of each verse is "Queensland's everywhere". Though the song lists several Queensland players born outside of the state, Carnehan does mention in it that New South Wales Blues had done the same in selecting players not born in ...

Comedy Songs
A novelty song is a type of song built upon some form of novel concept, such as a gimmick, a piece of humor, or a sample of popular culture. Novelty songs partially overlap with comedy songs, which are more explicitly based on humor, and with musical parody, especially when the novel gimmick is another popular song. Novelty songs achieved great popularity during the 1920s and 1930s. They had a resurgence of interest in the 1950s and 1960s. The term arose in Tin Pan Alley to describe one of the major divisions of popular music; the other two divisions were ballads and dance music. Humorous songs, or those containing humorous elements, are not necessarily novelty songs. Novelty songs are often a parody or humor song, and may apply to a current event such as a holiday or a fad such as a dance or TV programme. Many use unusual lyrics, subjects, sounds, or instrumentation, and may not even be musical. For example, the 1966 novelty song " They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haa ...
