THE DOCTOR IS IN!

DR. DEMENTO

Barret Hansen, Ph.D., a.k.a. Dr. Demento, specialized in novelty songs, comedy, and strange or unusual recordings dating from Edison wax cylinders to today. Barry created the Demento personality in 1970 while working at KPPC, a Los Angeles FM station. He played “Transfusion” by Nervous Norvus, and DJ Steven Clean said that Barry had to be “demented” to play it. The name stuck. His weekly show was syndicated from 1974 to 1992. The broadcast version ended in 2010, but the show continues to be produced weekly in an online version.

NERVOUS NORVUS: ”TRANSFUSION”

Nervous Norvus was Jimmy Drake, who got a major hit out of this in 1956.

Good evening, Publius, and thank you for Rachmaninov’s “The Star Spangled Banner”.

Champagne at the ready?

[Publius]

Champagne, smoked salmon and crusty French bread ready for midnight mountain time.

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...how does Penny handle all the noise? Get as close to you as possible?

We almost made it to 50 today, rain into the evening, turning to snow and expecting several inches by morning. Then headed to single digits on New Year’s Day...I hate this roller coaster weather!

[radu]

Happy New Year Kathy.
Glad you FINALLY managed to go home from work.
Were the streets manageable or are they getting slippery?

Hey, love those chords in that song.

They are not quite Diminished
And not really Augmented...

I know!

They are D-mented!

[Publius]

Lots and lots of dementia coming up tonight.

Fireworks are illegal in Massachusetts.

So the noise is not as bad as in Florida, where everybody was shooting them off all night.

I’m sure there will be a few at midnight, being saved up for that moment.

Then Penny can crawl over to me and cuddle. :-)

[TianaHighrider]

Happy New Year Kathy and all my Freeper Friends!

Ah...choices, choices.

The Three Stooges marathon, The Twilight Zone Marathon...

or Dr. Demento?

What will it be? :-)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu...thanks for the New Year celebrations all over the world.

How’s your weather? Did it stop raining?

I made it home just a little late. I made every light!! Never happens. LOL!

SAMMY KAYE: ”CHICKERY CHICK”

Nonsense songs were popular during the war because they took people’s minds off the carnage overseas. This is from 1945.

FELIX FIGUEROA: ”PICO AND SEPULVEDA”

This was Freddy Martin’s band recording under a different name for this 1947 novelty number. The “Styne” in the song credit is Jule Styne of “Funny Girl” and many other Broadway shows.
