Other highlights include the newly viral "Bohemian Catsody" and the story of how David Seville's first #1 hit, "Witch Doctor," originated. I've rounded up more than two dozen of them, including many never heard on the show before. Oct 16, 2021ĬAFFEINE 2141: Caffeinated beverages, especially coffee, have inspired a whole lot of Demented songs - more than any other beverages except for alcohol.

HALLOWEEN 2142: Halloween is drawing closer, and this week's show is about two-thirds "spooky tunes and scary melodies"- plus Ray Stevens' new song (and his first hit, from 60 years ago!), other gems from 1961, William Shatner's real-life rocket ride, and a cool new song featuring Josh Turner. It's very Demented - and very dark! Oct 23, 2021 HALLOWEEN 2143: Here's another two hours of spooky tunes and scary melodies, familiar and not so familiar, to get you in the mood for October 31 - plus a sneak preview of the new Barnes & Barnes album which comes out next month on Demented Punk Records.
HALLOWEEN 2144: This week we celebrate zombies, werewolves, grave robbers, unripe pumpkins, and Count Dracula- it can only be another Dr Demento Halloween! We'll also preview another track from the new Barnes & Barnes album, "Pancake Dream," out November 5. TOP TEN 2145: Now online - the Top Ten for October (a week late so as not to interrupt our Halloween celebration) plus some runners-up for the Top Ten and some surprises, old and not so old! HUNTING 2146: I don't imagine a great many Dementites take to the woods with rifles or shotguns these days (I've never tried it myself) but there are a lot of funny songs about hunting, and this show has some of the best! Lots of other goodies too. My heartfelt thanks for your support of the show! Nov 20, 2021
THANKSGIVING 2147: Here's the Thanksgiving show for 2021, with a tribute to the late Joe Siracusa, the last of the 1940s Spike Jones City Slickers, and a dear friend. HANUKKAH 2148: Happy Hanukkah! This year we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the first Hanukkah novelty song ever, "Hanukkah Rocks." Now there are quite a few, and I spin 14 of the best this week, along with the Top Ten for November, a just-released Weird Al cover of the Ramones, and lots more. HOLIDAYS #1 2149: Hark, the Demented angels sing! The first of three holiday shows for 2021 is now available for streaming, with holiday hilarity old and new, from "Dominick the Donkey" to "Christmas In Lumania."
