Very Funny.......2007-02-07

I was a fan of Dr. Demento as a kid. This CD features many of the hits I loved from long ago. It was great to hear those funny songs again. Nothing today can compare with some of this stuff.

Fine, Funny Stuff.......2007-01-25

This is an absolutely wonderful collection of comedy routines, parodies of well-known songs, and some rather odd songs that became hits, e.g., "Itsy-Bitsy Teenie-Weenie Yellow Polka-Dot Bikini", "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport". Mostly, it's just great fun.

My favorites here include "Bulbous Bouffant", "Bras on 45", and "Daffy Duck's Rhapsody", but there's great stuff here for anybody with truly twisted tastes, or just a sense of humor.

dementoid must have.......2006-02-26

great mix of odd-ball tunes; must-have for demento show fans; great music for people who enjoy music removed from the mainstream.

Wind Up Dementions and Dementites.......2005-08-31

I never knew what that meant but I heard it faithfully every Sunday night in the late seventies. I haven't been thrilled with every Dr. D anniversary CD that has come out, and this one I purchased primarily for the Daffy Duck Rhapsody, which I was pining away for. But this one does have many treasures on it, not even necessarily introduced (to me) by Dr. Demento. Long ago, for instance, I lost my copy of the lp, "The Doughnut in Granny's Greenhouse" by the Bonzo Doo Dah Band, and though I may never get the rest of it back, at least I have "I'm the Urban Spaceman" now. "The Elements" takes me way back to when I was gonna get a degree in chemistry....what was I thinking....anyway, there are a couple of Weird Al gems, Jim Cross's incomparable satire of Dead Teenager ballads, "I Want My Baby Back"; Nat'l Lampoon's take on that awful, ubiqutous 1970s poem, "Desiderata" (theirs is "Deteriorata": You are a fluke of the universe/You have no right to be here).

These songs aren't just funny. Well, some of them are just funny. But there's some very witty satire here, as well. Enjoy.

Can it be?.......2005-07-19

Can it be that the Doctor has been giving us laughs for 30 years? It seems like yesterday he was just starting with the laughing wax.
