VARIOUS ARTISTS - Dr. Demento Covered In.. (2CD)

2018 two CD release. Everyone from the Misfits, Joan Jett and Fred Schneider of the B-52's 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 it's birth) since the '70s, 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 is jam packed with facts, photos, illustrations and the Dr.'s own words. This was all created just for this release: new songs and covers including æFish HeadsÆ, æGarbagemanÆ, æSurfin' BirdÆ, æRat FinkÆ, æBeat on the BratÆ, æIt's a GasÆ, æPunk Rock GirlÆ, æMonster MashÆ, æMah Na Mah NaÆ, æEat ItÆ, æFluffyÆ and more!
