"Return of Jerry Lee" and other comedy records in that style

I feel like my dad played me other records like this, where someone does an interview and they use musical passages to answer the questions. I can't remember who made them though. my dad made them himself and then my brother and I made our own versions (which were terrible). anybody know anything about this, uhh, style of comedy record, and who did them?

googling for this is somewhat challenging

Chris Hill had a couple of UK hits with "Renta Santa" and "Bionic Santa"

Dickie Goodman did a fair few I believe, I know "Mr Jaws" but that's all I know.

ahh it seems he was the main dude that did this. now Wikipedia is opening doors!

Richard Dorian "Dickie" Goodman (April 19, 1934 – November 6, 1989)[1] was an American music and record producer born in Brooklyn, New York. He is best known for inventing and using the technique of the "break-in", an early precursor to sampling, that used brief clips of popular records and songs to "answer" comedic questions posed by voice actors on his novelty records.

I used to do my own too, but using those three singles but replacing the inserts with other, "better" ones that weren't copyright cleared..

e.g. "What is your bionic feature?" (I cant tell you but I know its mine)
