Our bonus track this week is the Crepitation (i. e. farting) Contest (announced as the "Trepidation Contest" on the recording). By request, we have here the "Glick" re-creation, produced by a small record label in Oak Park, IL, ca. 1970.

It may well be, as songwriter Marc Gunn claims, that St. Patrick never drank (Guinness hadn't been invented yet), but many a hearty song has been raised in his memory, and some of them are very funny! Also notable: the Dr D Show debut of the comedy supergroup Cirque du SoWhat (each of whose four members has previously had a #1 song of the year on the show), a comedy sketch about the U.S. census recorded in 1930, and what is arguably one of the worst records ever made, ever, "The Air Battle."

D-POD SHUFFLE 0928: By popular demand, here's another "D-Pod Shuffle" show, where I let my computer pick songs at random. Instead of the logical thought progressions and harmonious segues that I normally take pride in, this one takes us all over the place. New, old, loud, soft, nice, nasty, profound, stoopid, whatever! Great fun! Don't miss "Star Trek-A-Polka," which hasn't been heard for over 20 years. In the online-only segment we'll hear two (2) vintage episodes of the dreaded Audio Torture Chamber, plus perhaps the darkest piece of dark comedy I've ever played on the show ("Answering Machine" is not recommended for children!!!)

Lots of good old red-white-and-blue American dementia, plus a few that needle our wonderful country a little bit (freedom of speech, and all!) This show has the revised version of Baldbox's "U.S. F'n A" (did you know they left out a whole state the first time?) plus Seamonkey's fragrant spoof of "Boom Boom Pow."

Our bonus tracks include a great radio blues (by a singer better known as "Smiley" Lewis) and two hilarious radio satires from the 1920s. (N.

SHORT SONGS 0907: Every three years or so Dr. Demento gathers up some of the shortest songs in his archives. This time, as in 2005, he sequences them so that they get shorter and shorter as the show progresses, for an exhilarating rush to brevity. The opening song, Steve Martin's new "Late For School," has nothing to do with that. Neither does the online-only bonus segment, dedicated to Tiny Tim, and featuring a funny and revealing interview with Minnesota radio personality T. D. Mischke. Much of the interview is devoted to Tiny's unique approach to personal hygiene. (We'd rate it somewhere around PG-13). Feb 15, 2009 [ Play List ] (Added Feb 16, 2009) |

Everything we love about Christmas, and everything we hate, it's all here, and so is the Top Ten for November.
I want to especially point out our x-rated, yes, that's X-RATED bonus segment, filled with some of the most outrageously irreverent holiday songs ever made! Be forewarned...lots of four-letter words and generally disgusting grossness. We've put it at the very end of our stream, making it easier for parents and others not inclined to listen to such things to turn it off without missing such gems as "An Axl Christmas" (in honor of the long-delayed Guns 'n Roses album), "I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas" and "Kung Pao Buckaroo Holiday" (an ode to political incorrectness).

FRANK ZAPPA 0846: This week's show is entirely devoted to a tribute to Frank Zappa, commemorating the 15th anniversary of his death. It traces his career in roughly chronological fashion, concentrating on his humorous music but also exploring his R&B roots, and the avant-garde music which he considered to be his best work. Many interview excerpts from Frank's appearances on the Dr. Demento Show are included.
This is not a repeat of our 1994 tribute show; it is newly written and produced.
The online bonus segment comes at the end this time, and is much longer than usual (about 33 minutes). It features Frank introducing rare records from his personal collection, and also three Zappa favorites we can't play on the radio. IMPORTANT: Parental guidance is strongly suggested for the last three tracks in the online bonus segment; there is strong language and possibly objectionable subject matter.

ONE-HIT WONDERS 0837: We salute One-Hit Wonders this week. A One-Hit Wonder is an artist who has great success with one song, then never has another hit worth reckoning with. In the 1950s and 1960s there were a great many one-hit wonders. Thatalso happened to be the Golden Age of Novelty Records, and we salute many of those. Toward the end of the show we also salute artists who had a single song place high on one or more of the Dr. Demento Show's year-end countdowns, but never enjoyed a followup hit. In the early part of the show we salute Talk Like a Pirate Day (Sept. 17), and tip our top hat to the late Jerry Reed. Sep 14, 2008 [ Play List ] (Added Sep 15, 2008) |

Non-football rarities include radio personality Don Imus' first record, from 1971, a 1950s track by Milwaukee legend Mad Man Michaels, and "The Old Sow Song" from 1937 complete with gloriously unprintable mouth noises.

We also salute the man who works the hardest on Labor Day, Mr. Jerry Lewis...we have a short interview with Mike Elliott, whose 1986 Demented hit "Rock Me Jerry Lewis" is the ultimate telethon tribute.
We also spin a very rare and hilarious Martin Mull item, and say a fond goodbye to "Engineer Bill" Stulla, who died this week at age 97. Aug 31, 2008 [ Play List ] (Added Sep 1, 2008) |

LIVE IN STUDIO 0829: An extra-special show this week: Every song in the second hour of the show was recorded live on the Dr Demento Show, between the mid-1970s and the mid-2000's. Many of these performances haven't been heard since their original broadcast years ago. Tom Stankus' "Existential Blues" is especially exciting, with lots of elements not heard on the currently available recorded version (including those "Impossible Dream" lines).
Along with the familiar September 1980 version of "Weird Al" Yankovic's "Another One Rides The Bus," online listeners (only) can hear Al's encore performance from April 1981...like "Existential Blues," this performance also has some extra added attractions.
The first half of the show features, among other things, a virtually brand new Dickie Goodman production (!) Jul 20, 2008 [ Play List ] (Added Jul 21, 2008) |

We've got several of our all time fave fishin' songs this week, and also songs about fish as entrees, and even fish as personalities, along with classic comedy songs about beer, strong wine, and rehab, not to mention Adolf and Osama.

ALL-TIME Greats 0725 :Among the greatest novelty record artists of all time, Stan Freberg made his mark in the 1950s with devastating spoofs of rock 'n roll music. After that he moved on to other things, but fans have never stopped wishing Stan would use his comic genius to lampoon later pop music trends. Now, The Great Luke Ski, devoted hip-hop historian and a superb parodist in his own right, has created his own Freberg-style skewering of rap music in his ten-minute sketch called "MC Freberg."
This show also features a half hour of songs about God. No evangelism here, and no disrespect either...just one brilliant comedy song or sketch after another, each using the name of God in the title in its own way. Jun 24, 2007 [ Play List ] (Added Jun 25, 2007) |

CHRISTMAS 06 #4: It's our final Christmas show of 2006, and I think you'll agree we saved the best for last! Brand new demented discs mix with some of our most cherished Christmas oldies. "How Did This Thing Get In Me" by Mary & The Magi is the most imaginative and colorful (and, likely, accurate) new version of the original Christmas story I've heard in years. "Santa's EMail From Nigeria" by Dr. Elmo is another dandy new wrinkle. You'll chuckle at two (almost) forgotten 1950s knockoffs of the Chipmunk Song, not to mention Canned Heat's rare 1968 collaboration with the legendary rodents themselves. Actor Dave Coulier's 1980s "Cartoons Christmas" is a rare find.
Stan Freberg's "Christmas Dragnet," Cheech & Chong's "Santa Claus and his Old Lady" and Basil Rathbone's radiant reading of "The Night Before Christmas" help to make the season right. Dec 24, 2006 [ Play List ] (Added Dec 25, 2006) |

Our (more or less) annual salute to Winter is a (yellow) snowball in the face of propriety.

First-hour highlights include "No Anchovies Please," "The Biggest Ball Of Twine In Minnesota," "He's His Own Grandpa" and the original recording of "Battle of New Orleans" with the verses that were left off the #1 hit version.

Some might say our show is always that way, but with "The Ying Tong Song," "Ugga Ugga Boo Ugga Boo Boo Ugga," "Mairzy Doats" and "You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)," we definitely achieve nonsense nirvana this week. We'll also salute the 1960s novelty songwriter
who recently got to read his own obituary in the papers, and hear the best of Backus back to back. Oct 15, 2006 [ Play List ] (Added Oct 16, 2006) |

This is a special show for "Weird Al" Yankovic fans...along with his latest
song "You're Pitiful" (which had to be dropped from his forthcoming album
for legal reasons) we'll hear, in its entirety as he recorded it in 1976 at
age 16, the first Alfred Yankovic song ever played on the air, "Belvedere
Cruisin'." The latter is part of a full hour of songs that were big on the
Dr Demento show in the year 1976, including "Stardrek," "Disco Tech" and
"Junk Food Junkie." Jun 25, 2006 [ Play List ] (Added Jun 27, 2006) |

FATHER'S DAY:Happy Father's Day from Dr. Demento! Father's Day humor tends to be
somewhat less respectful than what you might hear on Mother's Day..."When The Mush Begins To Rush Down Father's Vest," for instance, or Brian
Wilson's ode to his father Murry, "I'm Bugged At My Old Man." We'll also hear Shel Silverstein's "Father Of A Boy Named Sue," and a song that gets right down to the heart of fatherhood, "I'm Gonna Procreate" by Worm Quartet. We'll also hear, among many others, Stan Freberg's very first hit record, "John and Marsha," and that Odd Couple Tony Randall and Jack Klugman singing "When Banana Skins Are Falling, I'll Come Sliding Back To You."
