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

Arrived on time, the item had crack along the back of its case, but probably shipping is to blame for that- thanks
 Very Funny February 7, 2007
Nancy Lommel (North Babylon, NY United States)
I was a fan of Dr. Demento as a kid. This CD features many of the hits I loved from long ago. It was great to hear those funny songs again. Nothing today can compare with some of this stuff.
Fine, Funny Stuff January 25, 2007
James Skrydlak (Mountain View, CA)
This is an absolutely wonderful collection of comedy routines, parodies of well-known songs, and some rather odd songs that became hits, e.g., "Itsy-Bitsy Teenie-Weenie Yellow Polka-Dot Bikini", "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport". Mostly, it's just great fun.
My favorites here include "Bulbous Bouffant", "Bras on 45", and "Daffy Duck's Rhapsody", but there's great stuff here for anybody with truly twisted tastes, or just a sense of humor.
dementoid must have February 26, 2006

great mix of odd-ball tunes; must-have for demento show fans; great music for people who enjoy music removed from the mainstream.

I never knew what that meant but I heard it faithfully every Sunday night in the late seventies. I haven't been thrilled with every Dr. D anniversary CD that has come out, and this one I purchased primarily for the Daffy Duck Rhapsody, which I was pining away for. But this one does have many treasures on it, not even necessarily introduced (to me) by Dr. Demento. Long ago, for instance, I lost my copy of the lp, "The Doughnut in Granny's Greenhouse" by the Bonzo Doo Dah Band, and though I may never get the rest of it back, at least I have "I'm the Urban Spaceman" now. "The Elements" takes me way back to when I was gonna get a degree in chemistry....what was I thinking....anyway, there are a couple of Weird Al gems, Jim Cross's incomparable satire of Dead Teenager ballads, "I Want My Baby Back"; Nat'l Lampoon's take on that awful, ubiqutous 1970s poem, "Desiderata" (theirs is "Deteriorata": You are a fluke of the universe/You have no right to be here).
These songs aren't just funny. Well, some of them are just funny. But there's some very witty satire here, as well. Enjoy.
