I'm a Lonely Little Petunia (In an Onion Patch) by Arthur Godfrey
This 1940s novelty is not a song you want in your head for very long. It's come into the public consciousness of late because it was featured in a Season Four episode of Six Feet Under, with an Imogen Heap cover over the end credits (a much more palatable version of the song than the one in my head.)
Thanks, Michael! ;)

I grew up listening to Soviet LPs with dramatized stories, ballets (dramatized versions of the Nutcracker or the Swan Lake to ruin your visual experience for the eternity), songs for children, etc. I am aware of the existence of the English language equivalents (and what came first?), but wow, it must be a whole body of work!!
