DR. DEMENTO "GOOSES" MOTHER!
BY DR. DEMENTO
After almost 25 years on the air, I've finally come out
with my first "children's" album. Dr. Demento Gooses
Mother is now available in stores (and, of course, from
the Demento Society) on CD and cassette. The Kid Rhino
release is offered at bargain "super saver"
prices.
Dr. Demento Gooses Mother was definitely created
with the proverbial "children of all ages" in mind. It
tells the story of the day Mother Goose herself, along
with Little Bo Peep, Humpty Dumpty, Old King Cole,
Peter Piper, Little Jack Horner, Little Boy Blue and
Mary Mary (quite contrary) all decide to visit me at
the radio studio while I'm doing my show. Suffice to
say Ms. Goose has her hands full trying to keep this
motley crew from trashing the place, not to mention
her dignity!
Along the way we are treated to some marvelous
music, as an amazing array of singers and bands sing
and play familiar Mother Goose rhymes, each in his,
her or their own way. Folk-blues legend Taj Mahal
("the singer, not the building" as Mother Goose
explains) sings the "Funky Bluesy ABC's." Comedian
Johnny Standley does his hilarious dissection of Little
Bo Peep (the rhyme, not the girl). Sixties bubblegum
kings The 1910 Fruitgum Co. do their hit "Simon
Says," and The Monkees' Peter Tork adds his original
nursery rhyme "Peter Percival Patterson's Pet Pig
Porky." Country honky-tonker Hank Thompson sings
"Rub-a-Dub Dub," and Buckwheat Zydeco offers
"Skip To My Blues." We even have a couple of
swinging big band nursery rhymes from Count Basic
and Jimmie Lunceford.
Perhaps the rarest treat of all is "Baa Baa Black Sheep"
by the Singing Sheep. It's been a favorite on the radio
show since 1982, but this is the first time it's ever been
released in the USA.
The project was organized and guided by Robin
Frederick, who recently produced the gold album
Mickey Unrapped for Disney. Wayne Allwine and
Russi Taylor wrote the character dialogue and
provided all the voices (except mine, of course!)
They're all total pros and energetic, humorous people,
and it was an absolute joy to work with them. ("Work"
hardly seems like the right word).
Wayne and Russi, by the way, are also the voices of
Mickey and Minnie Mouse. And here's a little secret:
Wayne was once a member of the 1960s surf/hot rod
band Davie Allan and the Arrows.
This is the first of four Dr. Demento Rhino releases
scheduled for 1995. The Dr. Demento 25th
Anniversary Collection, a 2 CD set, is set for August
along with Dr. Demento's Country Corn. Holidays In
Dementia, with songs for Christmas, Chanukah and
New Year's, is scheduled for September.
NEW DEMENTED DISCS
SPRING 1995
Unless otherwise mentioned, everything in this column is
available on CD. Some items may also be available on
cassette; write to the individual labels for information.
OGDEN EDSL: Mower of the Ogden Edsl
Featuring Bill Freezer
Ogden Edsl, the Omaha-based music-and-comedy troupe of the
1970s, is best known for "Dead Puppies," one of our all-time
most requested Demented Discs. The original "Puppies" is here
(with a slightly re-edited intro) along with Ogden Edsl's other
hits "Kinko the Clown" and "Daddy's Money." The remaining
tracks are released here for the first time. Many are essentially
Frenzer solo performances, recorded after he relocated to Los
Angeles in the 1980s, while others were made back in
Nebraska with various members of the original group. Frenzer
thinks up some audacious juxtapositions, like "Laughin'
Blues," "Rap Yodeler" and "Idi Amin Meets Eydie Gorme,"
and he makes most of them work. There's enough musical
variety here to satisfy the most eclectic listener, and Frenzer
has the best tenor voice in all of funny-music-land A video of
1970s Ogden Edsl live shows is also available. OGLIO
RECORDS, PO BOX 404, REDONDO BEACH, CA 90277.
PHONE 1-800-COOL CDS.
THE FOREMEN: Sing It Loud!
The Foremen began a few years ago as a novelty act, a living,
breathing, singing, picking replica of those well-scrubbed early
1960s folkie groups that everyone forgot after Dylan went
electric. Roy Zimmerman's original songs slyly satirized both
the 1960s and the 1990s. Then Zimmerman began turning
more and more to contemporary political satire, and all of a
sudden the long-established Capitol Steps have some real
competition. Sing It Loud! is a splendid live recording; titles
include "Hell Froze Over Today," "Don't Vote" and "Russian
Limbaugh." The Foremen were recently signed by Warner-Reprise;
until their Reprise album comes out in September
you can buy the Sing It Loud CD and an earlier tape from THE
FOREMEN, PO BOX 334, PACIFIC PALISADES, CA 90272.
CUB KODA: Abba Dabba Dabba - A Bananza of
Hits
"It's obvious that l love a lot of different kinds of music," says
Cub in the liner notes, "so what I want to do now is stretch
the boundaries of so-called roots music as far as I can, while
making it singularly stamped with my own personality."
Since there are few roots musicians around who would or could
stretch those boundaries as far as Cub does, he plays all the
instruments himself. Cub covers every imaginable kind of
groovy old song on this generous 24-track CD, but Abba
Dabba Dabba will surely be best known for one of its four
Koda originals: "Random Drug Testing," AKA "Pee In the
Cup" -- a Leadbelly field holler for the 1990s. SCHOOLKIDS'
RECORDS, 523 E. LIBERTY, ANN ARBOR, MI 48104.
ORDERING INFORMATION: 313-994-8031.
STEVEN BANKS: Songs From The Steven Banks
Show
You may have seen satirist/performance artist Steven Banks'
show on TV recently. Here's a handy CD collection of the
songs he's been writing (and occasionally sending in to the Dr.
Demento Show) over the past ten years or so. "Walt's Song"
muses about the possibility that a cryogenically preserved
Walt Disney will come back to life someday. "Rock n' Roll
R.I.P." makes pithy, trenchant comments about the demises of
various rock stars; there's a new verse about Kurt Cobain on
this version. "I Miss Paul" is sung from the point of view of
John Lennon. The phrase "dark humor" only hints at what lies
between the lines that Banks sings so casually and amiably.
HEADBONE RECORDS, PO BOX 183, MONTROSE, CA
91020.
THE RUDY SCHWARTZ PROJECT: Günther
Packs a Stiffy
The R. S. P. is the nom de disque of Joe Newman, who did
most of the writing, playing and singing on these 20 energetic
tracks. One of them is a sly, touching tribute to Frank Zappa,
and fans of 1970s-era FZ will no doubt enjoy much of
Newman's satiric, sardonic humor -- check out "Yodelin'
Satan" on this CD. But whereas Zappa raised himself on
1950s R&B and avant-garde classical, Newman is into trash
TV, cartoon soundtracks, weird movies, Yee-Hah cawntry...and
nasty language; "Enhanced Florence Henderson" is one of the
few cuts I can play on the radio. SEELAND RECORDS, 2608
62ND AVE. NW, OLYMPIA, WA 98502. Seeland also offers a
variety of CD's and other artifacts by Negativland, the Firesign
Theatre of the 21st century; write for a catalog.
Mike Condello Presents WALLACE & LADMO'S
GREATEST HITS
From the 1950s to the 1970s, most American cities had live
local television shows primarily designed for children, often
secretly enjoyed by former children as well -- the sort of show
that inspired Michael Richards' part in "Weird Al" Yankovic's
UHF. If you were a kid in Phoenix during those years, you
watched the Wallace & Ladmo Show. In the 1960s, a young
man named Mike Condello wrote and performed many musical
numbers for Wallace & Ladmo, 28 of which are brought back
from limbo on this CD. You definitely don't have to have
grown up in Phoenix to enjoy this; the numerous Beatle
parodies such as "Obese Man" and "A Day On the Tube" are
especially delightful. EPIPHANY, 910 S. HOHOKAM DR.,
#101, TEMPE, AZ 85281.
PAUL ANDERSON: Loligo Vulgaris (cassette
only)
This is the tape containing "Microsoft Word," the "Wild
World" parody which has now gotten more requests than any
other song about computers I've ever played. Many of these
songs were written while Anderson was a student at Reed
College in Portland, Oregon, and they nicely reflect the feel
and spirit of the place where I was a student some years earlier.
It's real-life college humor, not the kind force-fed to you by the
mass media. PAUL ANDERSON, ROACH MOTEL RECORDS,
5440 SE 41ST AVE. PORTLAND, OR 97202.
THE ARROGANT WORMS: Russell's Shorts
This young Canadian trio's second CD of humorous songs
contains that stirring rouser for vegetable-rights activists
"Carrot Juice Is Murder," and other zingers like "Big Fat Road
Manager," "William Shakespeare's In My Cat" and "Losing
Hair Under God." The Wonms' PG-rated satire doesn't make
many waves, but it's cleverly written for the most part,
convincingly performed and often quite funny. Like their first
CD (also very nice. a little more specifically Canadian-oriented)
it's available from THE ARROGANT WORMS, PO
BOX 19022, 4TH AVENUE POSTAL OUTLET, VANCOUVER,
BC V6K 4R8, CANADA.
Also heard on the Dr. Demento Show:
"Date Rape" by SUBLIME. This band's music has been
described as "grunge-reggae." Their 21-track CD also includes a
cover of "Smoke Two Joints." SKUNK RECORDS, 203
ARGONNE, #202, LONG BEACH, CA 90803.
"Runnin' With a Fork In My Mouth" by THE NEW
DUNCAN IMPERIALS. Humor abounds in the rowdy,
irreverent cowpunk of this trio, named after a yo-yo.
Loserville and other CD's available from PRAVDA RECORDS
3823 NO. SOUTHPORT, CHICAGO, IL 60613.
"Too Many Restaurants" by DAVID KLEINER. Rhymes

by DON WHITE. From his CD Two Vagabonds In Disguise.
MELVILLE PARK STUDIO, 115 CENTRAL AVE., BOSTON,
MA 02136.
"Name Dropper" by STEVE KEHELA is on 7307 Melrose
Avenue, a CD of comedy sketches by members of The
Groundlings, a long-running L.A. improv comedy troupe.

by CHUCK BRODSKY are on CD's by those artists available
from WATERBUG RECORDS, PO BOX 6605, EVANSTON, IL
60204. (Also worth hearing: the song "Balls" on a CD by the
label's owner, Andrew Calhoun).
"Talking Seattle Grunge Rock Blues" and "My Generation
(Part 2) by TODD SNIDER are on his MCA CD Songs For
the Daily Planet, available in most stores. ("Talking Seattle"
is a "hidden track" not mentioned on the packaging; it plays
after track 12).
Oral Hygiene: Nula Verba Obscenitus and Downwind From
Your Stinkin Heart, two collections of a cappella duet humor
by MR. ELK AND MR. SEAL, previously available on
cassette only, are now out on CD. T-BIRD, 3125 HOLMES
AVE. SO. #302, MINNEAPOLIS, MN 55409.

Dear Whimsical Will: Is Mimi a real person? Does
she know how funny she is? -Jeff Morris,
Bloomington, IN
Many Dementites have asked me about Mimi, a
featured player on my weekly Demented News
reports. A former nun from Waterloo, Iowa, Thelma
"Mimi" Beaty is, indeed, a real person, who recently
celebrated her 92nd birthday.
Eternally youthful at heart, Mimi and I were best
playmates throughout my childhood. Her radio
"career" began involuntarily in 1982 when I barged
into her Hollywood apartment with my tape recorder
and fed her lines to Frank and Moon Zappa's "Valley
Girl." The result was "Valley Old Lady," which
enjoyed a couple of plays on the Dr. Demento Show,
and sparked a long series of audio and video
recording sessions with Mimi.
Although much of Mimi's nonsense patter is scripted,
her best and most hilarious work results when she
"runs with it" through improvisation and spontaneous
reaction. And no, Mimi has no idea how funny she is.
In fact, she cringes at the sound of her own voice on
tape.
Dear WW: What was your first exposure to
Dementia? -Carissa Seltrecht, Center Point, IA
My introduction to Mad Music and Crazy Comedy
came many years before I joined the cast of the show
in 1980.
A record collector since the age of 16 months when I
first switched on my "Beany & Cecil" record player, I
"inherited" many of my parents' comedy albums,
including records by Allan Sherman, Bob Newhart
and Stan Freberg, At the age of four, I stumbled upon
Tom Lehrer's 1953 10" LP, Songs By Tom Lehrer.
Hearing that album clinched it for me. Lehrer remains
my favorite "demented" artist to this day.
Dear WW: I heard Dr. Demento mention that you
work at Disneyland. What do you do there? -Robble
Michel, Evansville, IN
I work in the Attractions Division of the
Adventureland/New Orleans Square/Critter Country
area of the Park. This includes such adventures as
Pirates of the Caribbean, the Haunted Mansion, Splash
Mountain and the brand-new Indiana Jones: Temple
Of the Forbidden Eye.
During my eight years at Disneyland, I've had the
pleasure of meeting many Dementites and Dementoids
who have tracked me down there. Just the other day, a
fellow introduced himself as a Navy man and loyal
listener to the show -- in the Philippines, over Armed
Forces Radio!
Be sure and look me up when you visit "The Happiest
Place On Earth!"
