It’s time for the annual update to Dr. Demento’s TOP 100 (or so) DEMENTED HITS (from Funny 25’s)!

“Weird Al” Yankovic added his 15th tune to the Top 100, as “One More Minute” (which first appeared in the 1985 countdown at #15) was #12 this year. Along with appearances in 1992, 1993 and 2018, the song finally earned enough points to enter the Top 100 at #65. It is tied at that position with “The Time Warp” from the Rocky Horror soundtrack and “Harry’s Jockstrap” by Dickie Goodman.

The other “Weird Al” songs in the Top 100 are: “Yoda” (#10), “Another One Rides the Bus” (#21), “White & Nerdy” (#28), “The Night Santa Went Crazy” (#29), “The Saga Begins” (#33), “Amish Paradise” (#35), “It’s All About the Pentiums” (#50-tied), “Eat It” (#52), “My Bologna” (#68), “I Love Rocky Road” (#71), “Bedrock Anthem” and “Whatever You Like” (#86), “Craigslist” (#89) and “Fat” (#96).

“Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” by Monty Python first appeared in the Funny 25 at #6 in 1979. After a 40 year gap, it made it onto this year’s list at #8, earning it enough points to give the Python’s their 3rd entry on the Top 100, joining “Spam” (#24) and “The Lumberjack Song” (#44). “Bright Side” enters the 100 at #68, tied with “My Bologna” and “Street Meat (You Keep Tauntin’ Me)” by Mike Phirman. “The Lumberjack Song” also made this year’s Funny 25, which moved them up to #44 in the list.

Finally, last year’s #2 on the Funny 25 was this year’s #4, giving “Institutionalized” by Brak a tie at #47 on the Top 100 with “99 Words for Boobs” by Robert Lund.

Like the aforementioned “Lumberjack Song” there were several others that added to their point totals, including “Let’s Blow Up the Tow Truck” by Krypton (#76), “Ti Kwan Leep/Boot to the Head” by The Frantics (#4), “The Smoke-Off” by Shel Silverstein (#12), “Shaving Cream” by Benny Bell (#16), “Friendly Neighborhood Narco Agent” by Jef Jaisun (#23) and “Wet Dream” by Kip Adotta (#5).

It’s time for the annual Doctor Demento Funny 25 and my update to the Dr. Demento’s TOP 100 (or so) DEMENTED HITS (from Funny 25′) – 1974 to 2018.

This year saw the return of the most frequent visitor to the Funny 25 over the years–the one-and-only “Weird Al” Yankovic. He not only placed 4 songs in the chart (including #1), but also had two songs by other artists that referenced him.

It was also a big year for Hamilton with at least two parodies directed at the Broadway hit, and a bunch of songs from the album Dr. Demento Covered in Punk (a compilation of various artists covering punk songs such as the Ramones’ Beat on the Brat or Demento classics like Fish Heads and Shaving Cream).

Here’s the list. I’ve added video links where I could find them and audio links where I couldn’t.

So, I finally went and done it. I deactivated my Facebook account. After it killed the blogging community and piled up a multitude of sins, I still felt a little queasy pushing the button.

Fortunately, they insisted on getting an explanation out of me before they would comply with my order, which gave me the opportunity to (virtually) shout, “I don’t owe you an explanation. Bite me!”

I guess I ought to clean up this place a little bit before I continue. It’s looking a little 2007 around here.

Whether or not your 2017 was the greatest year ever or the coming together of all your worst nightmares, there is one thing we can say for it…it’s over! But before we kick it to the curb for our shiny, new 2018 upgrade, let’s take a look at this year’s Doctor Demento Funny 25 and the Top 100 (or so) Demented Hits (from Funny 25’s) – 1974 to 2017.

It’s always sad when our pop culture icons pass to the great TV Land in the sky, and more than a few of them this year really dug into the feels. A couple of them made the Funny 25 as a tribute, including Adam West and Chuck Berry.

Fish Heads padded its lead atop the 100, coming in a #21 this year. Meanwhile, other repeating songs included “Ti Kwan Leep/Boot to th Head” by the Frantics and “Entire Dog” by Worm Quartet.

The Top 10 included a Doctor Who-based parody of The Who’s “My Generation,” a rambling rap about amphibians, an indictment of a certain President’s love of Twitter, a lounge lizard version of Michael Jackson’s “Man in the Mirror” (from the Lego Batman Movie soundtrack), an old-school fake interview/sound clip thing, one of the great songs from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, an instrumental version of a Nirvana song in the style of 60’s brass pop, a second Library Bards parody (this one of “Barbie Girl”), more “Weird Al” and the great Luke Ski.

As usual, I’ve tried to link to YouTube videos of each song. Otherwise, they’re usually found on The FuMP.

I just realized that this is the 15th time I have cataloged points for the Top 100 (or so) Demented Hits from Doctor Demento’s annual Funny 25. Fifteen years is just a small slice of the 40+ countdowns the good Doctor has given us, but it’s a good chunk of time. So, in honor of this 15th anniversary, I am presenting two extra lists.

壹点加速器2024-outline

It’s time once again for the annual update to the list of Dr. Demento’s TOP 100 (or so) DEMENTED HITS (from Funny 25’s).

This year featured plenty of Donald Trump parodies from Bad Hombres, Nasty Women to The Donald Trump Club March to Donald Trump’s Hair (which was written long before the recent election unpleasantness). As usual, the topics of the day (Trump, Bernie, the Cubs) raised their ugly heads–only to have them shot at in hilarious ways. I’ll wager we haven’t seen the last of these.

Fortunately, there were plenty of nonsensical tracks in the vein of Fish Heads and My Name is Larry, as well. The Worm Quartet brought us their observation of an Entire Dog (a WHOLE DOG!). The Chardon Polka Band created a spiritual successor to Frank Yankovic’s classic In Heaven There Is No Beer called You Can’t Drink Beer In Outer Space. Max DeGroot sings to us as one of those guys who brags about his love of hot foods in Spicey to the tune Billy Joel’s Always A Woman. And Steve Goodie undertook a medley of “Weird Al” songs in a Weird Al Country Medley.

Following in the footsteps of acts like AC/DC, CeeLo Green, DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince, Frank Zappa, and The Monkees “legitimate” artists Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats placed a song in this year’s top 25 with S.O.B..

Power Salad released a tribute to Carrie Fisher to the tune of Layla called Leia (and Other Assorted Star Wars Parodies) shortly after “The Force Awakens” to respond to those body shamers out there who didn’t understand the concept of a woman somehow not looking 19 when she reached her late 50’s.

Only two songs revisited the Funny 25 from the past. Fish Heads–the number one demented song of all time–showed up for the first time since 2013, adding a point to its total, and Steve Goodman’s A Dying Cub Fan’s Last Wish made an appropriate reappearance thanks to the 2016 World Series champs.

Cub Fan’s spot wasn’t high enough to put it into the Top 100, but I did find an error in the totals. Street Meat (You Keep Tauntin’ Me) by Mike Phirman, which appeared at #4 in 2010 and #10 in 2011, has enough points to put it in the Top 100 at #66, alongside “Weird Al” Yankovic’s very first appearance in 1979–My Bologna.

Finally, the number one song this year was Dick Heads by Steve Goodie–a re-working of Fish Heads into a rant against a litany of things he doesn’t like.

The short answer: “not much”

The long answer is that I worked on Catch the Wind for a long time, but I couldn’t get anything out of it that didn’t bore me to tears. Then I went out of town.

I am still plugging away, and I’d like to think that something will come out of this at some point. Soon-ish.

I feel exhilarated, nervous, excited, wary, accomplished and hungry (it is past suppertime after all).

I spent the afternoon laying down rhythm guitar tracks for seven songs. No, not thinking about doing some songs. Not just talking about it. Actually pushing the button on the record machine and playing the guitar into a bona fide microphone. (I did have a moment’s pause when I looked at the digital studio and went, “What is all dem buttons mean?”)

After ten years of hemming and hawing and refusing to do anything unless it was either an original composition or “perfect,” I got my ass into the home studio and did something thanks to gentle nudges from my ever-patient spouse and with the help of Whiny the Elder, who recently graduated with a bachelor’s degree in music production.

I don’t know that all of these will make the final cut when we start adding the rest of the instrumentation and vocals, but we went through a stack of songs this afternoon, so there are more where they came from. Here’s the list:

  • Wild Mountain Thyme by Francis McPeake, with a bajillion versions–I especially like Ed Sheeran, but I even found one by Dean! (下载shadowrocket, my man crush)

So, we’ll see what happens with these, but it’s progress, baby, progress.

I was listening to 免费翻国外墙的app this morning (we miss you, Tom!), and one of the callers said that he had 103 cars in his lifetime. That got my brain gears whirring, and I thought I would reminisce about the series of vehicles that have graced me with their presence in the last 35 years.

Mav_RealFirst up, there was a 1969 Ford Maverick (it’s not quite the same without yelling “Maverick!” in a kind of old prospector’s voice). It was worth every penny I paid for it–$300 in 1980.

Maverick’s defining feature was that someone had converted it from a standard shift on the steering column to an automatic on the floor…but they had done such a poor job of it that you could see the road underneath the shifter. And in a Maine winter that extra chill was nasty. (Not as nasty as the VW Beetle with no heat owned by Ric the Schmuck though.)

When Maverick died after about six months, I took up the last few payments on my brotshadoweocket电脑端her’s 1975 Chevy Nova.

This was back when men were men and Novas were…passable as a “muscle” car. It wasn’t really all that muscular, but it was the last car I ever drove with 6-cylinder engine.

Its most memorable detail was that my dad gave it a new paint job, and to save money he used flat, red house paint. It was…interesting. Definitely not shiny.

免费翻国外墙的appWhen Nova bit the dust, I went out and bought my first car from a used car salesman. It was a 1978 Chevy Chevette. After riding around in the big ole Nova, I felt like I was literally sitting on the ground inside the Chevette.

Chevette’s main flaw was a wonky starter motor. Every other time you’d try to start it, nothing would happen. Yet, I found that if I touched it with something metal–like a screwdriver–it would ZAP! and spark, then I could start it just fine…most of the time.

The next c下载shadowrocketar to grace my butt was a Ford Escort. I was sort of bullied into buying this car by my dad. He went to the trouble of finding a used car salesman (who I think was a softball buddy or related to one) and a car that I could afford, but I really didn’t want this car.

First off, I think it had been in a flood, maybe even at the bottom of a lake, because it just smelled swampy. And then there was the bloody hand print stain on the headliner above the passenger seat…

Friends, never buy a haunted car (or a Ford). We took this one on our honeymoon (a not-supposed-to-be-rough camping trip during which it poured rain from about 10 seconds after I got the tent up until the day we left). On the last day, we decided to drive down to Boston to visit Venita’s grandparents. Haunty McForderson decided that it didn’t really need that cam shaft and left it behind somewhere on I-93 as we were in the left-most lane.

She called her mother to come pick us up.

免费翻国外墙的appAfter further adventures with getting Escorty McSuckercar repaired (which involved calling Ford HQ in Detroit to step in between feuding dealerships), we grabbed the next used car that we could find on the day we picked up the Ford from its repair pod. It was a Nissan Sentra wagon, and it served us fairly well for a number of years.

Its defining tick was that the hatchback never latched. So, when you’d hit any kind of bump, it would pop up. Fortunately(?), the hydraulic thingy that kept it open and prevented it from falling on  your head didn’t work either, so it didn’t fly open…it just banged up and down a lot.

shadowrocket下载官网Next came a car so boring that I can barely remember a thing about it except that it was white. I am told that it was a Subaru of some sort.

We bundled the Subaru together with an old, wood-paneled station wagon that I got as payment for helping a small inventory company out with some PC problems, and they were traded for the first (and, so far, only) new car that I ever bought.

Saturn-SL2In 1994, we moved to Florida, and since we didn’t have a car that we felt would make the trip, we traded for a Saturn SL1 with 12 miles on it.

Oh, man, I loved that car.

That Saturn stayed with us for over 200,000 miles, and Emily wound up driving it for a while before we finally donated it to the local NPR station.
