Song Poem is a genre of music that emerged in the 1940s and 1950s. It is characterized by its low-budget production values and amateurish lyrics. The genre was created by companies that advertised in magazines and newspapers, offering to turn poems into songs for a fee. The companies would then hire session musicians to record the songs, often with little or no input from the original poet. The resulting songs are often humorous and offbeat, and have become cult classics in some circles.
