DR. DEMENTO
25th Anniversary Collection (More Of The Greatest Novelty Records Of All Time)
1995 U.S. 2xCD issueEverybody needs a few chortles now and then.
Novelty songs are the fucking best.
Even the bad ones.
Their main goal IS to be ridiculous and to make people laugh and smile.Dr. Demento’s sole purpose in life was to shine a light on these kinds of tunes and serve them up to people, both GOOD AND BAD.
He introduced the world to Weird Al Yankovic, Barnes and Barnes, and so much more.Both artists are here, as well as a bevy of other insanely goofy and questionable tunes.
You can’t throw something like this on and not laugh or feel good in some way.
Today is definitely a day for it.

Listening to an 1989 full broadcast of the #DrDemento show while watching the #NASCAR race cause I'm getting tired of the constant talk of the stupid playoff system and all the right-wing campaign ads for #Virginia elections every ad break. I would recommend this, it is a pretty good time.

T-Bone!!!! Knew it would be up there!

I started singing "Rolley Polley fish heads" when I saw this in the supermarket.
Thank you #DrDemento

Mike Peterson of KMA 960 AM in Iowa has a really great salute to Dr. Demento, who is retiring after 55 years of broadcasting. Uncle Jay says check it out:

Like many, the Dr. Demento show was an early influence on me.
Glad that decades later I contributed (trombone & background vocals) to a few numbers played on his show.
Rolling Stone: Dr. Demento, Madcap Radio DJ Who Launched Weird Al’s Career, Announces Retirement

Dr. Demento had a major impact in my formative years. Late Sunday nights on WTOS 105.1 "The Rock and Roll Mountain!"

VARIOUS ARTISTS
Dr. Demento Presents: The Greatest Novelty Records Of All Time (Volume III - The 1960s)
1985 U.S. pressingSome late night chuckles for last spin of the night.
All the hilarious usual suspects of the novelty realm are here; Tiny Tim, Bryan Hyland, Napoleon XIV, The Trashmen, and my personal favorite, Ray Stevens’ sublimely absurd “Guitarzan”!
I believe Dr. Demento did God’s work, and was a king among men. Someone needs to make a legit biopic on him NOT starring Rainn Wilson.

@50years_music I love the (real) story of Dr. Demento's role in Weird Al's popularity. I think I see Dr. D depicted in this video, can't miss him. I was a regular Dr. Demento show listener back when. #drDemento

On this day of thanks, I send them to, of all people, Dr Demento for this timeliness poem:
Religion and politics often make some people lose all perspective and give way to ranting and raving and carrying on like emotional children.
Look it up if you don’t know it. It’s brilliant.

Awww…
😒 They’re coming to take me away…
🎶Ha! Ha!🎶
Time to #RealLife, now :sadness:
[ h/t #DrDemento ]

And now, back to misty-eyed as I learn that in the same week that we lost "Fish Heads" Robert Haimler," we lost "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!" Napoleon XIV.
Somebody please check on Barry Hansen (aka Dr. Demento)!

CW: Dated Racist Language
I am a little too misty-eyed as I prepare the Rest in Playlist today. No, not for Mr. Rossington, though he will be missed. I am verklempt at the passing of Robert Haimer of Barnes & Barnes, who composed one of the greatest (if dated) lyrics ever:
"Roly-poly fish heads are never seen drinking cappuccino in Italian restaurants with Oriental women! Yeah!"

"Weird Al" Yankovic, because servers are boring and he's just, really cool.
*Snort* -
They need to keep remaking the #WeirdAl movie over and over and over with totally different stories and the only constant actor being Rainn Wilson as #DrDemento.

@JimmyKip And just to cover the #ChristmasPlaylist option, here's Weird Al with a seasonal song that keeps me warm inside.

So far, I've been enjoying Mastodon immensely. It feels like a "safer space" if I can call it that.
I'm recovering from the worst case of anxiety I've ever had If I'd had one in my childhood, I've blocked it out.
Fast-forward, before it gets too boring: I think I'm going to allow myself to stretch out a little more.
My interests are #ASL #ContactSigning #Esperanto #ElectronicKeyboards #Guitar #RoxyMusic #DavidBowie #DuranDuran #Eurythmics #Blondie #DrDemento #Shoutcast
Thanks for reading. -
Thursday #Music for 8 December 2022.
You know, some of these are better as a surprise, so I'll just say this is the B-side of a split single #NoveltyRecord and leave it at that.
Tomorrow: the A-side. Unless my demands are met.

I'm really loving Mastodon! Following hashtags is a great way to find new people to follow, but #GayGeeks is not an oft used tag. So, I'm gonna need all my #Gay family who are also proud #Geeks to favorite this post so I can find and follow you. Bonus points if you like #StarTrek, #Babylon5 and/or #DoctorWho . Extra extra bonus if you like #DrDemento or #WeirdAlYankovic
