CARTOONS 0918: Our show is extremely animated this week - it's got over 30 cartoon themes and demented songs about cartoons. It's like a whole week of Saturday mornings (or matinees!) The bonus tracks are a half dozen forgotten but charming pop songs about Disney characters, from 1929-1936 - very rare original 78's from the Demento Archives (plus one from Musical Mike).

TOP TEN 0917: It's Top Ten Time for April 2009! This show also features a few songs for Earth Day (a bit late, but we should celebrate all year long, right?), a new topical tune by novelty record king Gary Paxton (producer of the original "Monster Mash"), and, in our online-only section, some rare items from past Dr Demento Basement Tapes CD's. (Reminder: past Basement Tapes CD's are available - but to current, paid-up members of the Demento Society only).

The online bonus tracks include a couple of unreleased rarities not heard in over 20 years - "Eight Arms to Hold You" by Damaskas (with Barnes & Barnes) and "14" by The Bombardiers, which has to do with the number of times an average person passes gas on an average day.

TOP TEN 0913: Here's the Top Ten for March, plus lots more treats for discerning Dementites, including songs about bad hair, the Wild West, sniffles and sneezes, and Grandma. We have a special tribute to the late Alan Livingston, who signed the Beatles to Capitol Records and revitalized Frank Sinatra's career...but we focus on his contributions to the Golden Era of children's records, 1946-52, when among other things he invented the character of Bozo the Clown, and co-wrote "I Taut I Taw A Puddy Tat." Our bonus segment features three multi-part Golden Era kids' records, running about 12 minutes each. Also note that for online listeners only, "Existential Blues" is heard here in the original, slightly longer version.

SPRINGTIME 0912: Here's our demented salute to springtime...its birds, its flowers, its worms and showers...and some baseball too. We also have a farewell salute to the 20th century's second most popular American boy soprano, the late Jimmy Boyd. The online bonus tracks include some very hard-to-find 1960s singles by Jimmy Boyd as an adult vocalist, in songs he wrote together with Bobby Darin, and with Leon Russell and J. J. Cale. (Also - "Wal-Martian Rhapsody" and "Beer!!!", which appear in slightly edited versions on the radio show, are unedited for the online version).

RELATIVES 0911: We celebrate relatives on this week's show -- you know, all those people in your life that you don't get to pick and choose! Aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, cousins and so on. There's also a nice long set of demented St. Patrick's Day favorites. The online-only bonus set has more songs about relatives. (Note: "Granny And The Kid" is unedited and has a bit of explicit language, as does "How's Your Hole Family.")

RADIO 0910: Our subject this week is Radio...songs and comedy bits about radio from various eras, especially from the original heyday of radio in the 1920s, and the heyday of Top 40 in the 1950s (and the payola scandal that followed). Our bonus tracks include a great radio blues (by a singer better known as "Smiley" Lewis) and two hilarious radio satires from the 1920s. (N. B. - "Radio Impressions" and "Twisting The Dials" are here presented in their entirety -- earlier appearances of these items in our online shows are excerpts only). Lots of exciting new stuff in our first hour!

RECORDS 0909: We celebrate records this week...those big flat round black things people used to put on turntables when they wanted to hear some music. Given up for dead not that long ago, they're BAAACK with a vengeance, and we're here to cheer them on, having loved records since early childhood. Our bonus track segment this week has even more Records About Records...lots of things that will never be on CD or even iTunes...and the "regular" part of the show has a couple of hidden bonuses for online listeners only: "The White Knight" is the extended version, three minutes longer, only released as a 45 rpm B-side...and "Genie, the Magic Record" has 2 1/2 minutes of extra magic.

TOP TEN 0908: This week we salute the variable nature of friendship and un-friendship, the city of Los Angeles, cannabis, a new cult film and an old one, and -- of course -- the Top Ten for February. Our bonus segment features nine, count 'em, nine rare Spike Jones tracks.

SHORT SONGS 0907: Every three years or so Dr. Demento gathers up some of the shortest songs in his archives. This time, as in 2005, he sequences them so that they get shorter and shorter as the show progresses, for an exhilarating rush to brevity. The opening song, Steve Martin's new "Late For School," has nothing to do with that. Neither does the online-only bonus segment, dedicated to Tiny Tim, and featuring a funny and revealing interview with Minnesota radio personality T. D. Mischke. Much of the interview is devoted to Tiny's unique approach to personal hygiene. (We'd rate it somewhere around PG-13).

VALENTINE'S DAY 0906: Here's our celebration of Valentine's Day 2009...lots of old favorites plus some we haven't heard in awhile. You can also compare our two "kill the wabbit" songs back-to-back, featuring ace impressionists Darrell Hammond (of SNL fame) and Mark McCollum (as Ozzy Fudd). Our bonus segment introduces some worthy newer songs that are a bit too explicit for radio. They are unbleeped here and parental guidance is suggested; the last one is especially explicit.

TRAINS 0905: All aboard for a show featuring one of Dr. D's favorite topics, trains. (He has been a railfan since age four, when he was in a nursery school overlooking a busy railroad track). Lots of hard to find items, especially in the "Rarities" online bonus segment.

TOP TEN 0904: Here's our first monthly Top Ten for 2009! Other treats include a salute to Damaskas' Copycat Corner from 1979, prompted by a new book following the same M.O....and, in our online-only bonus segment, a track from each of the five albums nominated for the Grammy for Best Comedy Recording this year.

PRESIDENTS 0903: The Dr. Demento Show goes all-Presidential! In honor of the inauguration of Barack Obama, and to help prepare him for the comedic zingers that are sure to come his way in the next four years, we offer a retrospective of the comedic abuse heaped upon several former Presidents, one soon-to-be-former President, and one would-be-President-elect. As with last week's Scandals show, many long-unavailable collector's items are included.

SCANDALS 0902: Our Hour Two theme this week is "Scandals" - especially those involving powerful, wealthy and/or sexy people who behave in bizarre, distasteful or dishonest ways. Starring Britney, Michael, Jim & Tammy, Bill & Monica, and more. Many of the songs heard here are very hard to find today, having disappeared from the marketplace as their subject matter faded from the tabloid covers. This theme dovetails with next week's show, which celebrates the inauguration of Barack Obama with lots of songs and comedy bits about his predecessors and their scandals.

EASY SONGS FOR HARD TIMES 0901: Our first show of 2009 spotlights the economy. We're calling it "Easy Songs For Hard Times." Along with songs inspired by the current SNAFU, I located some songs from the early 1930s when we were experiencing some very similar situations. Some of those songs are surprisingly cheerful! We could use a little of that cheer today. Jan 4, 2009 [ Play List ] (Added Jan 5, 2009) Low Quality 32Kbps mono (64Kbps quality) High Quality 128Kbps stereo [ Promo ] [ Promo ] $2.00 Members Only
