Who remembers listening to Dr. Demento? [View all]
I loaded all my CDs onto a USB stick and have it played on my small stereo radio/alarm in my bedroom. It wakes me up playing music from the USB stick in alphabetical order. Today, it started playing Dr. Demento's 20th Anniversary Collection which has 36 songs. It got me thinking how many people remember listening to Dr. Demento
I remember listening to Dr. Demento in the 70s and 80s on the radio. He'd play little know songs that were weird and "demented." Most of the songs were funny and he earned a cult following. Weird Al Yankovic got his start when he submitted "Belvedere Cruisin' song parody and Dr. Demento played it.
Among my favorite songs on Dr. Demento's 20th Anniversary Collection are:
"Dead Puppies" by Ogden Edsl
"Junk Food Junkie" by Larry Groce
"Star Trekkin'" by The Firm
"The Ballad of Irving" by Frank Gallop/Phil Leeds
"Existential Blues" by Tom "T-Bone" Stankus
So, anyone have their favorite Dr. Demento songs?
