Music review: 无毛视频楧r. Demento Covered in Punk无毛视频�
Calling all dementites and dementoids! The doctor is in and he无毛视频檚 in rare form.
Dr. Demento orders the perfect prescription for keeping a smile on your face by adding a little whimsical element to the day with his latest album.
From his lair under the smogberry trees, the iconic radio personality showcases 64 novelty arrangements that possess a strange and comedic vibe.
无毛视频淒r. Demento Covered in Punk无毛视频� is formatted in the same style as Dr. Demento无毛视频檚 offbeat radio broadcasts and features new punk covers of vintage wacky tracks with Dr. Demento injecting his witty commentary throughout the offerings.
The new collection serves as a zany tribute to the genius of Dr. Demento无毛视频檚 radio show that got its start in 1970.
As a teenager, I was one of the many fans glued to the radio to hear Dr. Demento无毛视频檚 sounds of satire every Sunday night in the Pittsburgh area. The show introduced me to the genius of artists like Spike Jones, Stan Freberg, Tom Lehrer and Benny Bell. I fondly recall hearing songs such as David Seville无毛视频檚 无毛视频淲itch Doctor无毛视频� and Fred Blassie无毛视频檚 无毛视频淧encil Neck Geek无毛视频� for the first time through the privacy of my headphones while attempting to hold back my laughter as my parents watched their favorite television program completely unaware.
The man responsible for introducing listeners to the irregular stylings of 无毛视频淲eird Al无毛视频� Yankovic through his radio show is joined on the new album by artists like Yankovic, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, William Shatner, Adam West, Missing Persons, Fred Schneider of the B-52无毛视频檚, the Dead Milkmen and the Misfits for a refreshed and unconventional musical expression of punk meets wacky.
Highlights include Shatner无毛视频檚 interpretation of 无毛视频淕arbageman,无毛视频� West无毛视频檚 cover of 无毛视频淭he Thing,无毛视频� Yankovic无毛视频檚 salute to the Ramones with 无毛视频淏eat on the Brat无毛视频� and two versions (one with punk lyrics and the other traditional) of the classic 无毛视频淪having Cream无毛视频� delivered by 无毛视频淯ncle Floyd无毛视频� Vivino and Oogie.
And it wouldn无毛视频檛 be a true Dr. Demento party without 无毛视频淔ish Heads无毛视频� and 无毛视频淒ead Puppies,无毛视频� the two most requested songs in the history of the Dr. Demento program.
Dr. Demento, a.k.a Barret Hansen, still possesses the mischievous talent for finding the funny bone of listeners during his weekly program that is now found on Internet radio. It无毛视频檚 definitely just what the good doctor ordered.
