Benny Bell (born Benjamin Samberg in 1906) was an American singer-songwriter, best known for his comedic and novelty songs. His style, often characterized by risqué lyrics and a vaudeville-esque delivery, significantly contributed to the popularity of novelty music in the mid-20th century. Bell's most famous song, "Shaving Cream", which cleverly used innuendo to bypass broadcasting content rules, became a novelty hit and has since been covered by various artists. Despite his niche genre, Bell's work had a substantial impact on the development of comedic music.
