thebes Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Ha, ha, to the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time! Bizarro, funny music, got to love it. Rock, jazz, classical, indie, folk: FERGET ABOUT IT! Take me to the land inhabited by the Doctor, yes Doctor Demento. Why him, well somebody's got to keep track of this stuff. The good Doctor is a hero of sorts at least from my slightly tilted perspective. Growing up the various bizarros and catchy momentary hits (Tie me Kangaroo Down Sport, If you Want to be Happy for the Rest of Your Life, Make an Ugly Women Your Wife etc.) gave me more pleasure then the finest wine will do today. So any other Demento's out there and what's your favorite funny/bizarro? Hey his current number 3 hit is "Let's Blow Up the Tow Truck" So am I "tied to the Whipping Post" or are there any other strange critters out there hanging around this Forum?

JCturboT Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 . So any other Demento's out there and what's your favorite funny/bizarro? So am I "tied to the Whipping Post" or are there any other strange critters out there hanging around this Forum? Thebes, I myself like "Another one rides the bus" sung to the tune of Queens "Another one bites the dust". ....and who could forget Shaving Cream?

sputnik Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 As the Superbowl Sabbath approaches, I often catch myself humming this spiritual hymn from Bobby Bare. "Drop kick me Jesus through the goal posts of life End over end neither left nor to right Straight through the heart of them righteous uprights Drop kick me Jesus through the goal posts of life. Make me, oh make me, Lord more than I am Make me a piece in your master game plan Free from the earthly temptations below Ive got the will, Lord if youve got the toe..........."

scott0527 Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Rember that horrible Trucker/CB radio craze song from the 70's. Mercy Sakes alive looks like we got us a CONVOY! I was just a little kid at the time, I swear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheltie dave Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Even more rooted in painful recesses of my cranium was the sister(nun) who sang the Lord's Prayer onto AM top 40 radio, just as we did a four hour road trip to Chicago. WLS played that song every 25 minutes for close to three weeks. Arrrrrrghhhhh! WC McCall and "Convoy" seems like a joy compared to that memory.

oldtimer Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Another one rides the bus by Weird Al Yankovic, that brings back memories. Anyone hear his Amish Paradise parody of Gangsta Paradise? One of my favorites from Demento has to be All Along the Watchtower sung by the writer of the tune, Bob Dylan himself. ______________________________________ As a kid I actually had the 45 of They're Coming to Take Me Away. Probably why I ended up as a drummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3dzapper Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I sing a Zappa song to myself too: "girls from all over the world write my name on bathroom walls for I am ......." That, "Blood on the Floor" by Fleetwood Mac and "Demon Alchohol" by the Kinks. Rick And who can forget " The secret word for tonight is Mudsharks"?

steve Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 there's so many..there was "Junk Food Junkie" by Henry Gross, Charlie Daniel's "Ballad of Uneasy Rider" in the 70's..ILBT's by Joe Walsh..and I figured out what that stood for before I bought it in the early 80's! And just about any Frank Zappa song as discussed above..however, Bobby Brown, Catholic Girls, and Crew Sluts come directly to mind...

ScorpsFan Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Ahhhhhhhh, Napoleon the XIV, and of course anything by Ogden Edsl or Tom Lehrer!
