10 Years Later... (Dr. Demento)
14 years ago
Nearly 10 years ago, I sent a song parody to the Dr. Demento Show to play for his then upcoming Groucho Marx tribute show; that parody was "Groucho Marx's Mustache" (a parody of "Bette Davis Eyes" by Kim Carnes). I recorded it on a cassette tape, had the MIDI version of the song as instrumental back up, and did the fade-out by lowering the volume. (Yes, that was low budget.)
After I came back from camp, I looked up the playlist to see it didn't made it. The good doctor did like my attempt to play it for himself, but not for airplay.
10 years later...
Whimsical Will (of the Demented News) quits his yearly summer movie adventure break-in series (in the style of Dickie Goodman) after 24 years in 2010, due to the crapiness that is pop radio. So far, Chris Wolvie sent in his entry this year with "Hey Green Lantern" and I went with my entry, "Smurfin' With the Smurfs" for the upcoming Smurfs movie. Well, as luck would have it, Dr. Demento finally played it on today's show... in the bonus tracks section. Hey, a debut's a debut; bonus tracks or otherwise! See for yourself:

So after 10 years, something of mine has been played on the Dr. Demento Show! I hope this could give me some recognition and more airplay. If you want to hear it for yourself, it's up on the FuMP Sideshow (http://www.thefump.com/sideshow.php). If you want to listen to the show itself, go here: http://drdemento.com/online.html?i=DDS1129. Don't worry, it only cost about 2 bucks! Give it a listen and you'll see how far I went. And if you want to listen to it again, and probably get it to the Top 10 (and maybe the Funny 25 as well), go to the show's request page here:

So far, it's also been played on Revenge of the Particle and my show, A-Log on the Airwaves; my friend Wacky Ben Pulliam will also play it this Tuesday as well. So help me get this break-in some recognition, even though the movie might tank. Tell your friends about it, and request away! Funny 25 or bust!
Stay Weird,
Anthony "A-Log" LoGatto
