VARIOUS ARTISTS - Dr Demento Covered In Punk (3LP)

Everyone from the Misfits, Joan Jett and Fred Schneider of the B-52Æs to "Weird Al" Yankovic, Adam "Batman" West (in one of his final performances) and William Shatner join the good Doctor in this two-hour-plus homage to the world-renowned radio icon! Dr. Demento has been championing novelty music (and also punk since its birth) since the Æ70s, introducing the world to fabulously weird tracks and artists all along the way. Light-hearted humor aside, this man has exerted serious influence on pop culture, and now a diverse array of music/film/TV stars have come together to pay loving tribute to the "mad music and crazy comedy" of the legendary "Dr. Demento Show." Dr. Demento hosts the album via factoids and anecdotes between the songs, celebrity guest ID spots, bumper segments and more, offering up an unconventional take on the traditional radio-show format. A full-color booklet joins the CD or vinyl, jam packed with facts, photos, illustrations and the Dr.Æs own words. This was all created just for this release: new songs and covers including "Fish Heads," "Garbageman," "SurfinÆ Bird," "Rat Fink," "Beat on the Brat," "ItÆs a Gas," "Punk Rock Girl," "Monster Mash," "Mah Na Mah Na," "Eat It," "Fluffy" and more!
