Funny 25 1998 vs. 1997
Gary Flinn
25 for 1998 comparing it to the 1997 Funny 25. There were 12 new entries, two
re-entries, four which went up, six which went down and one unchanged. So the
following demented discs and tapes which made the 1997 Funny 25 did not make the
1998 Funny 25. The 1997 ranking is listed:
25. "They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!"--Napoleon XIV
24. "Last Will And Temperament"--The Frantics
22. "Really Safe Sex"--Tim Cavanaugh
19. "In My Country"--The Lemon Sisters (from The Groundlings)
16. "The Knuckle Song"--Barry & The Bookbinders
15. "Da Turdy Point Buck"--Bananas At Large
14. "Ode To My Car"--Adam Sandler
13. "Amish Paradise"--"Weird Al" Yankovic
10. "Carrot Juice Is Murder"--The Arrogant Worms
9. "Monster Hash"--The Toyes
7. "Insane and the Brain"--Luke Ski's Psycho Potpourri
6. "Return To Jurassic Park"--Whimsical Will
5. "Yoda"--"Weird Al" Yankovic
4. "On The Shoulders Of Freaks"--Henry Phillips

...and in response to that list, I got bored with my surroundings, downloaded all
the past year-end countdown playlists, and did a little number crunching...the
results below use all the "ranked" songs from the years 1972-1998...I omitted
"extras" and some cases where the Doctor mentioned songs that just missed making the
countdown...the playlists were from the syndicated show if such existed (1972-73 the
show hadn't yet been syndicated, and 1977 the show was out of syndication for a
year, so I used the entire top-50 KMET countdowns for those years only)...there may
also be a few glitches because of variant spellings, billings and phrasings over the
various lists....
The "Evergreen" award:
They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa! with 23 appearances
2nd place: Fish Heads and Dead Puppies with 21 appearances each
The "Year After Year After Year" award:
tie: They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa! (1972-1992) and Fish heads
(1978-1998), 21 consecutive years each
2nd place: Dead Puppies, 19 consecutive years from 1977-1995
The "Bubbling Under" award:
Junk Food Junkie by Larry Groce, 14 years absent from countdown (1977-1990) before
returning in 1991
2nd place tie: Shaving Cream (Benny Bell/Paul Wynn version), The Smoke Off, and
Marvin I Love You each returning after 13 years absence
The "The Song That Would Not Die" award:
Christmas at Ground Zero, Pencil Neck Geek, and The Homecoming Queen's Got A Gun
have each returned three times to the countdown after dropping off
The "We're Number...uh...Eleven?" award:
Dead Puppies is the only song to make number 1 in the countdown twice (1982 and
1983)
The "It Makes A Lovely Light" award:
The following songs have made their only countdown appearance in the countdown in
the number 1 position:
Pico And Sepulveda (1972)
Shaving Cream as credited to Fabulous Five Inc. (1974)
Eat It (1984)
Rock Me Jerry Lewis (1986)
Wappin' (1989)
Down With V.E.G. (1994)
The Devil Went To Jamaica (1998--keep an eye on this one in future years though as
it didn't come out until this year)
The "Who's Hogging All The Awards" award:
Weird Al Yankovic songs have appeared 55 times in the countdown
2nd place: The Ogden Edsl Wahalia Blues Ensemble Mondo Bizzario Band have ranked 27
times
3rd place: Napoleon XIV has appeared 25 times under THAT name, plus once (1973) as
Jerry Samuels for I Owe A Lot To Iowa Pot
The "What, You Again?" award:
Weird Al Yankovic has had 30 different songs in the countdown
2nd place is Whimsical Will with 11--3rd is Sulu with 6 on her own and 2 with other
artists, all from the 1977 syndication hiatus
The "Professor and Mary Ann's 'And The Rest' Award":
Sulu had 8 songs in the countdown in the single year 1977, either solo or with other
artists
(by the way, I'm only familiar with ONE of these eight songs...anybody interested in
hearing the others again?)
2nd place is Weird Al Yankovic with 5 in 1992
Weird Al also had 4 in each of the years 1981 through 1985, and in 1994 and 1996
Cab Calloway had 4 in 1972, as did Monty Python in 1977
The "Cover Versions" or "I'll Just Reuse This Title" award:
Shaving Cream has been credited on the countdown to Benny Bell and/or Paul Wynn, to
Doctor Demento, and to Fabulous Five Inc.
Marvin (are these all the same song?) has been credited one time each to Christine
Nelson, Stephen Moore, and Marvin the Paranoid Android
other titles appearing under various artist names are:
Baby Let Me Bang Your Box by The Toppers or Doug Clark & the Nuts
The Freckle Song by Hank Penny or Larry Vincent
Junk Food Junkie by Larry Groce or Peter Alsop
7-Eleven--aka God Told Me To Rob the 7-Eleven--by Dick Price or Led Slurpee (are
these in fact the same song?)
Spam by Monty Python or Weird Al Yankovic (obviously not the same material)....r

I'm pretty sure that the Moore and the Android versions are the same (Or
at least, the same subject matter, since Moore did the voice of Marvin
the Paranoid Android in all the Hitchhiker's Guide shows/movies/radio
shows)

Nope. 7-11 by Led Slurpee is a parody of "Stairway to Heaven." "God Told
Me To Rob the 7-11" is a mock-religious tune about God telling a man to
steal money.

...I thought that might be the case but couldn't remember if Stephen Moore was in fact
the name of the actor who played Marvin...the Christine Nelson song, I was informed in
e-mail, is more fully identified as "Marvin, Marvin You're a Rotten Kid" to the tune of
Funiculi Funicula...(now if someone can just confirm my suspicion that Fabulous Five Inc
was an impromptu performance of Shaving Cream by Dr D and others who happened to be in
the studio)....
I always wonder about countdowns and the things that disappear off them...that's why I
spent so much time figuring out which ones had come off the countdown for the longest
period before returning to it, and which ones had slid and come back the greatest number
of times...(I wonder similar things about mainstream countdowns too...have a sneaking
hunch the greatest number of returns to the Billboard top 100 is the Chipmunk Song...I
vaguely recollect the Doc mentioning that it was on the charts every Christmas for
several years running in the 60s)....r

This inspired me to add another Funny 25 category: "Most Parodies of a Single
Song" in which the winning original song is Led Zeppelin's "Stairway To Heaven".
The parodies I found which made the Funny 25 are:
First Place: "Gilligan's Island (Stairway)" by Little Roger & The Goosebumps
which made the Funny 25 five times in 1978, 1990, 1991, 1992 and 1993.
Second Place: "7-Eleven" by Led Slurpee which made the Funny 25 twice in 1991
and 1992.
Third Place: "Stairway To Heaven" by Rolf Harris which he did in the style of
his old hit "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport" which made the Funny 25 in 1993.

Y'know, we're probably driving everyone crazy with all this (judging from an e-mail
I got from a previous post in this thread)...but I've been wondering how many
recordings there are that either mention or feature Dr Demento himself...so far I've
come up with:
various versions of Shaving Cream
Existential Blues Pt Too? by T-Bone Stankus
Gotta Get A Fake ID by Barnes & Barnes
I'm A Christmas Tree by Wild Man Fischer
Who'd You Do the Juju To? by Alan Kirk (referred to in the lyrics but not actually
appearing in the recording)
The Doctor and William by Luke Ski's Psycho Potpourri (lots of samples of the Doc
AND Whimsical Will in this one)
I'm sure there's more...let's see if we can make it enough to fill an entire
album....r

Marvin the Paranoid Android & the late Christine Nelson do not perform the
same song. Christine's is about a rotten kid and MPA's is about a robot.

it made the Funny 25" to:
1978: "Gilligan's Island (Stairway)" by Little Roger & The Goosebumps at #22
(a parody of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway To Heaven")
1985: "We Are The Worms" by Johnson & Tofte at #16
(a parody of USA For Africa's "We Are The World")
After Led Zeppelin broke up, it became safe to play "Gilligan's Island
(Stairway)" on The Dr. Demento Show once again. "We Are The Worms" became
playable again after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that song parodies are a
protected form of free speech.

For a while it seemed that every new song by Laszlo & Gary mention Dr. Demento.
F'rinstance: "Oooh! Don't Touch That" But that's the only one of them I can
think of right now.

I seem to recall that "Oooh! Don't Touch That" by Laszlo & Gary mentions
Doctor Demento.

Yes, Dick Price's is great. A classic. Led Slurpee's....well....isn't.
Whatever happened to Dick Price, anyway. He had some great stuff. God
told me to rob the 7-11 was probably the best one, but Happy Dinosaur
is a close second.

How about the delightfully demented jazz group Vital Information? The first
track on their latest album, Where We Come From (on Intuition Records), is
entitled "Dr. Demento"! True, the song *is* an instrumental, so it doesn't
exactly mention Dr. Demento in the lyrics, but it should qualify for this
list. From what I understand, the members of Vital Information are longtime
fans of Dr. D., and this was their way of paying homage to him. Does anyone
else have any more information about this group?

Jeff Morris

>Get Demented" by Ivor Biggun? I think the Utensils did a tribute, too.
Yes, theirs was called "Dr. D" and is a bonus track on the CD version of
Worse Than Slime.
Glancing through the playlists, here are a few others:
Stay Demented Blues - Harry "The Hipster" Gibson
Demented - Rotating Razor Heads (haven't heard this one, so not sure)
Dementites Poem - Brad Hotchkiss
Dr. Demento - Rick Right & Raoul (parody of "Paperback Writer" by the Beatles)
Dear Dr. Demento - Nasal Davey
Ode To Dr. Demento - The Booger Man (Jason Sachs)
And I suppose you could count the themes by The Persuasions and The Roto
Rooter Good Time Christmas Band if you want.
The Dr. Demento discography at my site already lists things on which Dr. D
sings, but I should probably add a "related" section listing songs that
mention him (akin to the "related" section recently added to the "Weird Al"
discography). And of course there are a few records he played on (piano on
"Short Dresses" by Jay Jay Cameron w/ King David & The Parables) and things
he produced (Kingdom's self-titled LP on Specialty), plus compilations he did
under his real name (many for Specialty & Warner Brothers). And then there's
liner notes he's written. This could become quite a task!
(There's a story on the Jay Jay Cameron record in Demento Society News #109,
and a brief mention of the Kingdom LP in Demento Society News #104.)

That's the only one that comes to my mind too, but I think you're right that
there are a couple of others.
Actually, when they did that "live" on the show one time (show #90-46), they
had Dr. D himself sing the line that mentions him.
From the Dr. D discography at the FAQ site, here are other recordings on
which he's appeared, that I don't think have been mentioned already:
"My Bed Is A Boat" - Barry Hansen
a record (most likely 78rpm) of unknown origin
This is a recording of him reading a poem, made when he was a child.
Most likely there is only one copy of this, and Dr. D owns it.
Aired on The Dr. Demento Show April 2, 1995 (his 54th birthday).
"The Garbageman's Daughter"
unreleased; sung live on show #82-48 - November 28, 1982
"The Midnight Roam" - Dr. Demento w/ Barnes & Barnes
unreleased; aired on The Dr. Demento Show #88-11, for broadcast weekend of
Mar. 12-13, 1988 (distributed by Westwood One Radio Networks)
"Pizza Hut Now" - The Original Artists w/ The Westwood Love International
Peace & Love Men's Choir
(Dr. Demento sings background along with other people in this "Give Peace
A Chance" parody by Penn Jillette & Steven Banks)
unreleased; performed live on The Dr. Demento Show #89-20, for broadcast
week of May 8-14, 1989 (distributed by Westwood One Radio Networks)

That is how the chorus goes, but the full and complete title according to

I can contradict that theory by assuring you that it was not. It's actually
a Jamaican version of "Shaving Cream"! Quite a trip to hear - he should play
it again sometime.
>have a sneaking hunch the greatest number of returns to the Billboard top

Yes, it did chart 5 years in a row (1958 - 1962), but Bing Crosby's "White
Christmas" has that beat easily. It charted every year from 1942-1962
(except 1952 - I guess it was obscured by Crosby's "Silver Bells" that year).
That's 20 times charting, so 19 re-entries. I don't know if that's the most,
but I'll be surprised if it isn't. "White Christmas" is also the biggest
selling single of all time, according to Joel Whitburn's Pop Memories
1890-1954.
And Bing, if I'm not completely mistaken, also has had more charted hits than
anyone. From 1931-1962 he had a whopping 336 hits! Elvis and The Beatles
pale in comparison, at 151 and 72, respectively. But Crosby's time was a
different era...
(The Beatles do hold one of the most interesting chart feats of all time: on
April 4, 1964, they had ALL FIVE of the top 5 positions on the Billboard Hot
100 to themselves, as well as many more records in the rest of the chart.
Simply amazing. I cannot imagine that anyone will ever even come close to
doing that again.)

Easily surpassed at this time, has it not been (sadly) by Elton John's
remake of Candle in the Wind, which reportedly sold over 30 Million copies.

This is misleading, though, because Whitburn created charts where none
existed, or expanded existing charts beyond what they were at the time.
While I don't doubt his research methods at all, he did create charts from
other sources of information, writing what the charts "would have" been,
prior to 1940, when Billboard started publishing charts, had there been
charts compiled, then basing that book on his created charts.

You're right, and that does significantly skew the pre-1940 information.
(According to the front of the book, Billboard published some charts before
1940, but it wasn't until July 20, 1940, when they started the Best Sellers
chart.) Subtracting the 164 that charted prior to that date, he had 172 for
1940-1962. So it's still impressive, but not significantly larger than
Elvis's number over approximately the same number of years.

I think you're right again. I had the sneaking suspicion that I'd heard
something surpass it recently, but I couldn't think of what it was! (That
book was written in 1986, and it does say "White Christmas" had sold over 30
million at that point, and I'm sure it's sold a few more since. But I think
I did hear than Elton had surpassed it.)
I wish Joel would redo Pop Memories at some point. Sure, the charts haven't
changed, but there's so much information that could be added (such as the
B-sides, which were added to Top Pop Singles and Bubbling Under recently),
and there are a fair number of mistakes in the book. (Don't look for Gayla
Peevey's "I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas" in the P's. Her name was
misspelled and mis-alphabetized as Gayla Reevey. I just happened to stumble
across that one day.)
While I'm noting mistakes and being corrected, I might as well point out this
little typo I noticed in my previous post:
> That is how the chorus goes, but the full and complete title according to
> help LP "Did'ja Come To Play Cards Or To Talk?" is "Marvin".
Apparently I contracted "her" and "LP" into "help". It should say "her LP".
Don't look for "Marvin" on the Beatles' Help LP! :)

One other typo I didn't point out that should probably be looked at...while I was
crunching playlists for the original Dementia Index I noticed the title of
"Derbytown" was listed as "Berbytown"...recognized the song and fixed it in my
spreadsheet in case it came up elsewhere so they'd sort together....r

I guess you're talking about show #86-06 in the file drd86.0209.html (since
that's the only place I can find the string "erby" in the online playlists).
It currently reads:
Derbytown - Old Ced Odom and Diamond Lil Hardaway
So it's right. I haven't updated that file since September 1, 1997, but it's
possible that there was a typo a while back.
Anyway, thanks for pointing it out. I always welcome corrections to items at
the rmd web site, especially misspellings on the playlists!
