When your life's work is collecting the most absurd and goofy tunes ever recorded, the phrase "life's work" takes on an entirely less menacing tone. For Dr. Demento, "work" entails rounding up Daffy Duck's finest-ever performance, a Monty Python ditty, a few Weird Al Yankovic tunes, and a number of other nutty classics in an uninhibited tribute to absurdity. While most of the material here is parody or novelty tunes, some of the set's funniest moments are the straight comedy pieces: George Carlin on food abandoned in the fridge, Cheech & Chong at the beach, and the hilariously absurd Vestibules doing "Bulbous Bouffant." While certainly not something designed for repeated listening, you never know when you'll have the unbearable urge to hear "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini." --S. Duda

Customer Reviews

My name is XXXXX, and I listen to Dr Demento...
... a tragic admission at many encounter sessions.

But what the hell, I'm a member of the Demento Society and yay for lunacy!

This collection brings out tunes and sketches that have not been seen since "Greatest Novelty Records of All Time". I still have the cassette with "Rock and Roll Doctor" on it. A good chunk of these tracks I only had from recordings off the airwaves.

It must be acknowledged that there will ALWAYS be a Weird Al, Tom Lehrer, Spike Jones, or Stan Freberg on each compilation. The reason is simple, name recognition and pure talent. With any luck, subsequent revisions and releases will have the many out-of-print works of the likes of the Frantics, Shel Silverstein, and the "Them-Poems" of Mason Williams.

Anyone who listened to and enjoyed the show, briefly, casually, will surely feel justified in adding this (and the two previous) compilation to his/her collection. The humor is timeless.

Thank You Dr D,for providing us with classic novelty recordings, thank you for keeping these things archived so that they can be tranferred to a less destructable medium, thank you bringning us this album!

Stay DEEE-MENTED!

Music To Make My Road Trip Fly!
Before taking a well deserved road trip this summer to San Fran. I bought Dr. Demento's 30th!, The Annoying Music Show CD, and Golden Throats. Needless to say, thanks to the good Doctor, Jim Nayder & William Shatner -I've never laughed so hard in my life. The songs fit the changing scenes and people so perfectly, it was frightening. The miles flew by, and I don't think I turned on my radio more than 4 or 5 times -only to get the weather. I kept popping the CD's back in, mainly because I COULDN'T BELEIVE IT. These songs have to be listened to carefully and should be appreciated as what is truly American classical music from the Bizarro World. Thanks Doc!!!!

I can't believe it's been 30 years already!
What can you say about a man whose work has inspired many and entertained generations? As someone once said laughter is indeed the best medicine and we're in a sick world here.

This CD is brilliant - the only flaw I find is that some of the songs are older and have been on previous Dr. D CD's. Weird Al is of note here - he's done some terrific work recently yet all his songs here are old (from the 1980's). Also, it seemed odd to me that there was not more Spike Jones.

Many thanks to Dr. D and I look forward to his 35th and 40th anniversary collections too!
