Pop has a good time eating itself on this collection of Doctor Demento favorites. The tunes on this stylistically varied double CD send up a plethora of pop culture phenomena. The perpetrators come from every imaginable entertainment background. Pro wrestlers, folk singers, comedians, actors, garage bands--you never know who's liable to produce a novelty song. Here it doesn't matter if a respected composer or a one-hit wonder recorded the ditty; all sorts of tracks jostle each other on this funny collection. The material covers quite a time span, ranging from Spike Jones's "Der Fuehrer's Face," released in 1942, to "Wappin'," an unreleased track by Darrell Hammond and Christopher Snell which was a hit on Demento's radio show at the tail end of the 1980s. The 20th Anniversary Collection is quite an assortment of the corny, goofy, wacky, and wild. --Fred Cisterna

 Demented!!!! July 2, 2008
N. Krout (Independence, Mo. USA)
I bought this CD for ONE SONG, and got the bonus of all the others on it as well.
 who wouldn't like Dr. D. May 16, 2008
Woody (California)
As usual, Amazon came through with a hard to find CD. We got it quick, and in perfect condition. I had this on cassette, and needed to replace it with the CD version. There are just two songs on this collection that I can't stand, but over all, it's really fun to listen to.
Ha ha! March 16, 2008

Ever feeling down? This collection will surely brighten your day! Thank the stars above for the good doctor D! If you also want a good laugh to read, try the Adventures With Boys "Instru-Mental" book, excellent laugh!!
Why Does Music Have To Be So Seroius? June 27, 2007
Socrates Stewart (Owings Mills, MD)
This album is just plain fun. It's great to have a nice collection of novelty songs to sprinkle in during a party or when making compilation discs for long drives or just and evening of fun with some friends.
Dr. Demento's collection surely won't be one of those precious "desert island" albums, those must have albums one would never be caught without, but in the context of a complete collection, it's good to have a few laughs here and there.
You'd really have to be a baby-boomer to appreciate the full context of this album as many are from the before the 1970's, still have some fun, why not?
Lots of fun June 27, 2007
cyberByter (McFarland, WI)
My son suggested this as a birthday gift to his older sister, from him to her - I think I've listened to it more than either of them.
