Co-written by Bill Buchanan, Goodman issued his debut record in the summer of 1956, “The Flying Saucer Parts 1 & 2.” The song was a breakthrough hit, peaking at #3 on the Billboard pop chart in the same year. Despite the success of the record, Goodman was

With Mickey Shorr in 1959, Goodman recorded two singles
under the name "Spencer and Spencer," both of which relied much less
on sampling and more on sketch comedy. "Russian Bandstand" was a
re-imagining of the then-popular TV series American Bandstand set in a
totalitarian Soviet Union. "Stagger Lawrence" imposed Lloyd Price's
recording of "Stagger Lee" onto a spoof of The Lawrence Welk Show,
borrowing heavily from an earlier Welk
parody done by Stan Freberg. Neither
recording with Shorr would be as popular as the recordings Goodman made with
Buchanan.

Starting in 1961, Goodman released his pieces as a solo
artist. He scored three Billboard Hot 100 hits based on the hit TV series The
Untouchables: "The Touchables" (#60), "The Touchables In
Brooklyn" (#42), and "Santa and the Touchables" (#99).

In 1975, he scored another big hit with the song “Mr.
Jaws” which peaked at #4 on the Billboard pop charts. By making a parody of
the
movie Jaws, it became a million-selling record, and was given with a gold disc.

Goodman released another single “Kong,” which parodied
the 1976 King Kong film remake. It also
happened to be his final chart record, reaching #48 on the US pop chart. After "Kong," Goodman appeared to fall off
the face of the earth, as he never managed to score another charting single.
Throughout his career, all in all he had 17 hits which five of them made to the
Top 40.
On November 6, 1989 at a relative’s home in Fayetteville,
North Carolina, Goodman died of a self-inflicted gunshot. He was 55
years old.

Goodman's son, Jon Goodman, runs his father's estate, as
his songs continue to be included on comedy compilations (especially via the
Rhino label), while a biography, The King of Novelty, was issued as well.
Goodman's influence continues to be felt, especially in the work of Yankovic
and even radio personality Howard Stern, who has created quite a few parodies
over the years patterned directly after Goodman's style
