WORK 1036: For Labor Day weekend, a stack of songs about work. Work isn't always fun, but these songs are! Mostly a different batch from last year. Also some vintage bedbug songs (they're baaack!) and in the bonus tracks, the funniest song ever written about a famous author (explicit language).

LITTLE 1024: Last week we had songs with "big" in the title - this week it's "little" songs (and short, small and tiny ones too). There are even more of those than there are big songs, and here are about half of the most demented ones in the Demento Archives (we'll spin the rest in July). Bonus tracks include one of the best selling "kiddie" records of the 1940s - the original "Little Toot" featuring Jack Benny's announcer Don Wilson.

Here are hilarious hits and magnificent misses from all the years of Dementia. The bonus tracks have more of the same, including a few tracks heard only once before in the earliest years of the show, and, as a "bonus bonus," two remarkable cover versions of "Cigareets, Whuskey and Wild, Wild Women."

MOTHER'S DAY 1019: Here's our Mother's Day show for 2010, with a mix of perennials along with some we haven't heard for awhile. The station where the Dr. D show began always played music by Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention on Mother's Day, and we're glad to continue the tradition with Frank's early masterpiece "Brown Shoes Don't Make It" plus some of Frank's more outrageous satires for the bonus tracks. (Parental discretion encouraged -- lots of rough language and a couple of songs Frank may well have devised especially to create controversy!) To top off the show we have the premiere of Whimsical Will's latest annual Summer Movie Adventure.

HAPPY 1018: We have a very "happy" show for you this time...featuring a big stack of songs with the word "happy" in the title or prominent in the lyrics.

EASTER/BASEBALL 1014: Two big days this weekend: Easter Sunday, and the opening of baseball season. (In some cities both events take place on the same day). Baseballs and bunny rabbits run wild on this week's show, and for the bonus tracks the Doctor digs deeper into his ample stash of baseball-related musical oddities. We also salute the late Fess Parker, with his own version of "The Ballad of Davy Crockett" plus two of the many parodies that song inspired.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY 1011: We salute St. Patrick's Day. It may well be, as songwriter Marc Gunn claims, that St. Patrick never drank (Guinness hadn't been invented yet), but many a hearty song has been raised in his memory, and some of them are very funny! Also notable: the Dr D Show debut of the comedy supergroup Cirque du SoWhat (each of whose four members has previously had a #1 song of the year on the show), a comedy sketch about the U.S. census recorded in 1930, and what is arguably one of the worst records ever made, ever, "The Air Battle." Bonus tracks include the extended version of "Star Trekkin'" and a Cirque du SoWhat track with very explicit language (uncensored on the actual show - parental discretion advised).

Along with familiar items we have songs that haven't been heard in ten, twenty years or more, and a lot you won't find anywhere else, even online. The bonus tracks have more of the same but even stranger, including "Clothes of the Dead" (by a one-off group featuring Penn Jillette of Penn & Teller), Paul McCartney's kid brother "Mike McGear"(singing a song co-written by Paul), and a pair of especially wondrous vaudeville bits from 1916 by Mr. Robert J.

While there are some things almost all of us want...food, water, shelter, world peace...other people's desires are downright peculiar...and many of them are chronicled in these songs, which get so greedy they almost take over the whole show!

WARNING: the bonus tracks this week are what we might call an Anti-Christmas show...songs that are not in what's usually called the Christmas spirit, and are absolutely not recommended for children...but you've told us how much you love these songs that we mostly can't play on radio, so here they are.

THANKSGIVING 0947: Here's our Happy Thanksgiving show for 2009. We celebrate the consumption of turkey and other festive foods...but we also remember that other meaning of the word "turkey" to denote a movie, play or song that is extremely bad. To that end, we bring back this week the Audio Torture Chamber, a feature some listeners might remember from the 1980s. We visit the Chamber at the end of each segment (except the last one). Notable among the bonus tracks is "Turkish Delight," a 1932 British comedy record spoofing the cultural traditions of Baghdad and other Middle Eastern localities. (Warning: politically incorrect).

MARIJUANA 0946: Our topic this week is marijuana. We've never made the evil weed a main topic before -- it's still illegal, after all -- but there are thousands of songs about it.

FANTASY TOP 25 0945: Something we haven't tried before this week...we present a "fantasy countdown" compiled by listener Steve Szeli of Newburgh, NY. This is essentially a countdown of Steve's favorite demented songs. It contains a nice mix of classic Demented hits with some items not heard all that often. We hope to present more "fantasy countdowns" on an occasional basis in the future, and we invite you to send your list! (Use the "request a song" feature at www.drdemento.com). The "bonus tracks" are some deserving new songs we somehow haven't been able to fit into the regular show. There are a couple of naughty words here and there.

Lou Albano, and Soupy Sales) which is sad but also lots of fun. The Bonus Tracks include some real rarities...Jimmie Cross' rarely heard followup to "I Want My Baby Back," early efforts from Ray Stevens and Sly Stone (one of the Stewart Brothers) - each of these artists made records for almost a decade before finding real success - and an alternate version of Captain Lou Albano's rousing theme song.

LABOR DAY 0936: Labor Day was invented in the late 19th century as a way for the US government to show American workers (especially union members) that the government loved and respected them. Nowadays most Americans mostly think of Labor Day as the last barbecue of summer, but there are a whole lot of great and funny songs about working, and we can't think of a better time to play them. Sure beats actually working!

Here are more canine classics than we've ever had on a single show, with even more doggie ditties featured in the bonus segment. Dr. Demento Debuts include "Platform Wars," the definitive spoof of those Mac Vs. PC commercials, and the PG-13 rated "Sex Positions Song."

Instead of the logical thought progressions and harmonious segues that I normally take pride in, this one takes us all over the place. New, old, loud, soft, nice, nasty, profound, stoopid, whatever! Great fun! Don't miss "Star Trek-A-Polka," which hasn't been heard for over 20 years. In the online-only segment we'll hear two (2) vintage episodes of the dreaded Audio Torture Chamber, plus perhaps the darkest piece of dark comedy I've ever played on the show ("Answering Machine" is not recommended for children!!!)

This show has the revised version of Baldbox's "U.S. F'n A" (did you know they left out a whole state the first time?) plus Seamonkey's fragrant spoof of "Boom Boom Pow."

Also included are some 1930s rarities related to the drug culture of that era...and one of our most requested oldies, "The Last Blast of the Blasted Bugler" - that's the one about Gunga Din.

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).

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 week's "Rarities By Request" features some footnotes to the Funny 25 - "Robots" unbleeped, an earlier take of "Fish Heads," some 1980s work by Chris Mezzolesta of Power Salad, and, by popular demand, the original B-side of "They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha-haa!" which is the same song backwards.

CHRISTMAS/HANUKKAH #4 0851: With Christmas so close we can almost taste it, here's our final holiday show of 2008 -- with a hearty, hilarious helping of Hanukkah songs to spread the cheer around. All but three of the songs in this show are played for the first (and only) time this year. Once again we have an extended bonus tracks section, including a few items with explicit language. We've placed those at the end so that kids can cover their parents' ears at the appropriate time.

CHRISTMAS #3 0850: Santa rides again (and has other strange experiences) in part 3 of our four-part Christmas Cavalcade of 2008. Lots of old favorites and a few very demented new things. I want to call special attention to the online-only bonus segment which has nine songs a bunch of people have asked for, that we just didn't have room for on the radio version this year. From now on the online-only segments will be transmitted at the end of the show (hope that's OK!)

CHRISTMAS #2 0849: Here's show number two of our four-show holiday spectacular for 2008. Highlights include the ever-popular "Blue Christmas" (piggy style) by Seymour Swine & the Squeelers, "Ding! Fries are Done" by Billy from Burger King, and Robert Lund's stupendous new parody of the worst Christmas song ever, "The Christmas Shoes." And for our online listeners only...nothing nasty this time, just 20+ minutes of extreme rarities from way, way back in the Demento Archives.
